Course Review: This was a beautiful course to do. Well delivered and knowledgeable tutor. On the day of this course, I had just gotten my braces tightened, my jaw was tight and shoulders and knees sore from the fear of dentist. When I received my treatment, after only minutes in,  I felt more relaxed and my jaw had relaxed and the tension was released from my neck, I could have dozed off easily. It was a beautiful treatment to receive and I absolutely loved getting hands on with it as well. I’ve done a few treatments already with it and great feedback from clients.” P .Bradley, Reflexologist

The aim of this course is to train you to a very high level. By the end of this course you will have a confident, detailed and broad knowledge of working with Hot & cold stone therapy and applying it to Reflexology. Holistic practitioners will be fully capable of entering the world of the Hot Stone Reflexology therapist with confidence and expertise.

‘We believe that with this treatment that one stroke with a stone is ten times deeper and lasts ten times longer than traditional techniques’ Mary Nelson found of La Stone Therapy.
