Course overview: Our Ear Candling course is perfect for beginners and experienced Therapists wishing to expand their Holistic treatments.
Ear candles are not a traditional candle but are a hollow tube made using organic cotton or flax, pure beeswax, honey extract and traditional herbs. Ear candling has become a popular therapy in the west and is used to help a wide range of symptoms, not only those associated with the ears. Treatment includes a post candle pressure point facial massage.
The treatment induces a deeply relaxed state in which the body is better able to fight imbalances.
Starter Kit: A kit is included in your training fee which includes enough pairs of ear candles to carry out 5 treatments (including your practical work during your training day). You will be using your Tutors skincare/massage products, where needed, in your practical work during your training day. Our training courses teach the generic treatment techniques and processes; they are not brand specific, so you are not tied to product brands used in training and are free to choose whichever brand of skincare you wish for your own client treatments. In some cases, your insurance may be invalid if you train with a branded product detailed on your training certificate and you then change to another brand therefore this is why we have chosen to train in this way.
We recommend attending training where you will gain advice about different brands and suppliers to enable you to purchase products from your chosen supplier directly following your training. Your tutor will advise you further throughout your training day.
A comprehensive & high-quality Biosun starter kit worth over £35 is included in our Ear Candling training courses, including our refresher course and online course upgrade. The kit includes 5 pairs of genuine, individually wrapped, Biosun ear candles and protective discs.
