Which course?

[fun.notnuts]

Hi everyone,

I have had my eye on a couple of short courses that I would like to do, but unfortunately the dates for them have all come up in the same month! (I can't afford to do them both).

I'm a self-employed massage & sports massage therapist (based in a gym) and would be grateful if anyone has done the courses if they could give me an idea of what they were like and how useful they were. One is a seated accupressure course with the AOSM, the other is a Jing Holistic Medical Massage course which is going to be run locally to me. (I really wanted to do a Jing course).

The idea behind the seated massage course is that i would like to find some corporate work in companies to broaden my client base.

Any info you could pass on to help with my decision would be most appreciated.

Cheers.

I'd go with the one you are most drawn to as you will probably put more into and get more from something you are doing because it "makes sense".

I am being very biased here but I would say do the Jing course - trust me you will not regret it.

I would also definitely recommend the Jing HMM course.

....and Jing it is! Decided that I should add to my knowledge before I start something different and I feel comfortable with that. Have booked on the course today and can't wait!

Hi Neroligirl,

Have you done your course yet? How did you find it? I do hope that you enjoyed it.

Hi Essence, yes I did the Jing course just this weekend. It was amazing! I learnt so much, and the way that the material is put across makes it fun and easy to remember..trouble is I now want to do all the courses they offer.....hmm. Can't wait to put some of the stuff into practice, not sure what my regulars will think when I climb up on the couch to massage their back tho! lol.

Hey Neroligirl,

Fantastic - I knew that you would enjoy it. Their courses are very addictive but I think it is a great investment in your career. The teaching is fun, interesting and the techniques can be used straight away. I only meant to do two courses but I have slowly worked my way through most of the holistic medical massage series.

Be brave and just get up on the couch - your clients won't even realise. It's very liberating and it kinda makes you feel like you are breaking the rules. I think your clients will appreciate the new skills that you have learnt.

Hi, I'm a newbie here but was wondering if anyone has done the hot stone fusion course with Jing. I've heard some great things about them and am considering doing the course in Sep/ Oct. Does anyone have any advice and has anyone bought one of the stone kits they provide for the course?

Thanks x

Hi Olive2006, I did the Jing Hot Stone massage course about 2 years ago. I'd suggest if you can, do the course that is split into two parts. This gives you a chance to go away and practice before the second part of the course. You don't realise how much you've forgotten until you start the second part of the course. As well as learning how to give a good hot stone massage you learn techniques that can be used for pain condiitons and remedial massage too. The stones you can buy from them are lovely. Everyone falls in love with thier own set of stones and you get attacched to them quite quickly. They are sent over from the USA. It works out cheaper buying it from Jing compared to getting it sent over yourself.

Hi Olive2006

Yes, Hot Stone Fusion is great and I think I probably did the course at the same time as Essence99. I use my stones in so many ways -relaxation, incorporated into remedial/sports work, facials. Definitely worth the investment and, yes, I love my own set of stones. Go for it.

Thanks so much for taking time to reply, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely go with the Jing course now and get my stones from them too. I hope I can pass on some helpful advice too sometime.

Again, many thanks
