About Holistic Training
Our priority at Elemi is to offer you training of the highest quality.
How can we be certain of this? It’s simple – our tutors have over fifteen years industry and teaching experience. Working for many years in Further Education, teaching and assessing NVQs in all aspects of beauty and holistic therapies.
Who we are
This wealth of experience has given us a clear understanding of our students needs and the ability to adapt our teaching styles to suit. You will be given continued support and guidance during and after your training. Something our students find invaluable once qualified. We offer comprehensive Diploma, Postgraduate and refresher courses. Whichever course you choose there will be no more than six students present.Giving you plenty of time with your tutor.
Students work on each other, an important part of learning a new treatment is not just about practising it but experiencing it from a client’s point of view.
Case studies make up an important part of your learning . From our years of experience students that complete case studies and reflect on these studies become more confident therapists and embrace working with clients once qualified. Remember we offer support and guidance while completing your case studies.
Our workshops have grown from our teaching. So many students and clients asked us for guidance with personal development. We felt there was a real need for non religious , non judgemental personal development courses. So with skills in counselling and meditation we put together our workshops. A day totally devoted to ME time. Escape the hustle and bustle and spend the day with like minded people looking to bring some harmony and balance back into their lives.

She studied Aromatherapy and realised that a holistic approach to treatments was definitely the way forward.
