Running an Indian Head Massage Workshop

[Mohit]

Hiya all,

I work for a charity and we will be running an in house training day. As we have limited funds we have been asked if any of have talents that we'd like to share with any of the group. As a qualified Indian Head masseuse I have offered to run a 1/2 hour session on this therapy.

But i need some help. Half an hour is a too short a time to run a full treatment with beginners so I was hoping someone might have some ideas of activities I could do in the session that would give people a good flavour of it and also be interesting.

Would appreciate some advice, tips or tricks on running training sessions.

thanks[sm=wave.gif]

Hi, don't know if this is of any help, considering the group, but here goes.

I did a talk/demo recently to groups of six formers and covered (briefly) aromatherapy, reflexology and indian head massage. I think the secret is to keep the talking brief and get hands on.

What I did at the end was to get them all to put their chairs in a line and sit down with their hands out to touch each others heads and I stood at the back. I started massaging the first student and he/she copied what I did and passed it on! It was a huge success, they were really good at it and they loved it. The teachers took photos coz they thought it was so original and wanted a record of it. If they got a bit stuck I came from the back and went to whoever was unsure and showed them what to do. The loved it. This is what families do in India, so why not?

Hope that gives some inspiration!

Thanks for that Candie. The most worrying aspect of it is the time factor but the hands on session sounds good.
