7. We will look at how you can engage and motivate your learners, particularly if they are having problems with particular modules.

8. From time to time you might have students who have learning difficulties e.g. dyslexia or deafness.

KaHuna bodywork (Lomi Lomi) Massage Post Graduate Certification

KaHuna is a shamanic practice from Hawaii and within its practice and principles there is Lomi Lomi massage, which is practiced and handed down within families, rather like Reiki I. KaHuna Bodywork is the next level up.

This is a massage technique that principally uses the whole arm, not just the hands, in long and short sweeping movements over the entire body.

The therapist enters an almost meditative state so as to connect with the client not just physically but also on a spiritual level. The movements can be fast and slow.

For the client, not only does the physical body totally relax, but the mind goes into a non-thinking meditative state.

As a therapist you will need to be physically fit and agile. You have to be a massge therapist of Level 3 or above and hold a Natural Approach recognised Anatomy and Physiology Certificate.

This is a two day certificated training course 1on1 or up to 4 people. 

I am available to travel to teach, although this will incur slightly higher costs depending on distance. Please enquire.
