Rainbow Kids Touch Therapy And Relaxation Instructor Course
This course is now also available Online under my shop.
A registered Learning Destination with The Children’s University, this is an extremely special course to share, scientifically and neurologically proven ,researched and written with absolute passion.
I share this course from my beautiful therapy chalet on Exmoor overlooking the sea. It feels just like a retreat!
I can also travel to teach this course with prior notice but please note my travel and accommodation must be covered please.
As with all my courses, you can never get rid of me as free ongoing mentoring and advice is available to you whenever you need it, from client advice to help with approaching a school, charity or organisation.
There is no time limit to this mentoring and I keep in regular touch as I develop new techniques to add to this continually growing work.
Continued and ongoing mentoring sessions after your training are important invitation so that this trademarked ,recognised and accredited therapy is kept within the criteria of the University.
This mentoring is also continued via an invitation to join the closed Facebook Group of Rainbow Kids Certified Instructors Community where new research ,activities and advice are continually being shared.
It also keeps us all growing within the therapy so that it can reach as many children as possible in the most effective and correct way. While we keep growing, so do the children and young adults we are working with.
The day something stops growing is the day to do something else !
Following the enormous success and demand for my Rainbow Kids Touch Therapy Clubs ranging from ages 3 – 18 , ( it started out as one small group of primary age children and has now evolved to teenagers and young adults and children’s homes as well as work with young offenders ) I am very happy to offer this two day CPD/Instructor course for those wishing to train with me and set up similar schemes in their own areas/schools/specialist schools/acadamies/children’s homes /community centres/youth offending teams/playgroups/ /nurseries/hospices ….
Once you have shared this course with me you are also warmly welcome, to take part in future course dates for just £80 for both days to refresh and add to your skills set as this work is always growing and expanding .
Any refresher courses with me are CPD certified .
I so want it to reach as many children and young adults as possible whether they are ‘neurotypical’ or differently abled.
The CMA will give you a 10% membership discount as I am a teacher/college member with them.
Nurturing touch is such a scientifically proven part of our wellbeing and growth on all levels : emotionally, mentally, physically , academically and socially. Tests conducted since the 1950’s have proven that animals that are touched and handled are physically healthier than animals which are not handled. They also have bigger brains and far greater social skills and healthier emotional bonding.
I teach researched studies and facts which prove how unlike IQ, emotional and social intelligence can be learned and grown and indeed we have specific areas of the brain that directly link in with this, for example with reading and processing faces, empathy , social cognition, controlling behaviour , multi awareness, self awareness… the list is huge ! Your heads will be bursting with knowledge and scientific facts in the most blissful and relaxed way – the best way to learn !
This CMA accredited course can be applied to nurseries, pre schools, primary and secondary schools, children’s homes and special schools to name just a few. It would be wonderful in hospitals and hospices too …. the possibilities are endless!
- I teach massage techniques including creative and expressive massage , how to use massage to describe stories , songs, events and feelings ( it is a fact that 80% of communication is actually non verbal ! ) mindfulness, sensory,immersive and sensational meditation, relaxation techniques, guided journeys, beautiful story cards and story telling with a whole magical difference for younger children .
- Although the children are learning science along with the “magic”, and there is a structure, it is very driven by the children and their voices, encouraging their confidence, their emotional intelligence (EQ) their
social intelligence/skills (SQ) as well as their academic productivity (IQ), and unleashing their creative imaginations…. all wonderful and beneficial qualities which will add to their performance within the classroom.kids yoga, positive affirmation pathways,mindfulness games and work with sound are also included. - For older ” children” and young adults I teach massage for wellbeing, balancing ,communication and expression, along with mindfulness, meditation, visualisation “older” specifically guided journeys , breath work,yoga,special yoga, sound therapy, colour therapy empowerment, mood cards ,as well as the sharing of massage strokes that can be self-administered as a way to manage anxiety, be more productive and focused, become more self aware and to nurture their emotional, physical and mental wellbeing,self awareness, interpersonal awareness ,self management and self regulation. i also show how these tools help build resilience to peer pressure and how new neurological pathways can be built.
- All of my work in the manuals comes with proven scientific research so that each trainee knows how to approach schools and organisations.
Positive Growth Mindset therapy underlies everything. Art therapy,talk therapy as well as game therapy are also taught.
This CMA accredited course includes an enormous lunch and all refreshments as well as a massive manual including how to “access” every child , be invited into their world,along with lots of resources and further information.
Previous massage experience helpful but certainly not essential. Just come and share a completely gorgeous day and leave with your heads bursting with all the new techniques and knowledge but also blissfully relaxed and having learned so much about yourselves too in a very relaxed environment ……
