back ground reading

[AndreaT]

Hi Everyone,

I am really excited to be doing an IHM day workshop in a months time. I already do aromatherapy and have heard it is an excelant way of using essential oils. I just wondered if anyone could recommend any back ground reading that might be useful before the day. I realise that there is only so much they will be able to cover in a day.

Be grateful for any input.

Hi Amandas

Has the person running the course recommended any sort of background reading? I haven't yet taken my IHM course (it's in July and already jumping up and down with excitement) but I've got a super book by Narendra Mehta called simply Indian Head Massage. He is described as the 'guru' of IHM and I have to say I find the book good reading and easy to follow. It's got some good anatomy and case studies. I'm doing my course at his school in London.

I'm sure you will get other suggestions here too. Enjoy your course!

I would take up Siobhan's suggestion.....also just as a thought if you know there is only so much they cover in a day why not do the intensive courses that are examinable? They are not that much more expensive but you will get a lot more from them and in the long run some insurance companies do not provide for the one day courses so if you wanted to change insurers in the future you may find yourself limited for choice?

And I'm just waiting for my Diploma/Certificate from the VTCT.

They allow courses to be run by Local Authority Adult Education Centres. The costs are not prohibitive. A lot of work is done and there are several case studies required.

We sweated over our A&P (even those of us who already had A&P certificates). We sweated over ouer M2/M74 - Health and safety and care of the client.

The exams were a farce!!! I don't think anyone could possibly fail them!!! If these are the current standard of exams in this country, then no wonder the pass rates are going up and the standards of speech, grammar and numbers are going down![][].

I recommend the VTCT course for content and application and ease of exams.

The course I am going to do is run by Adult Education so I am hoping to get info on further courses then.
