What our students say

  • My journey with Healing Hands started in 2007 in George , Cape Town and Sedgefield . I studied various different modules and ended with the massage international diploma. (I have to mention that I am hard of hearing and my left arm can’t rotate , the facilitator said “NO PROBLEM” we will work around that and I was taught that no one knows that I can’t rotate my arm) I opened my own business in Stilbaai, Body Basic in 2008 , I have built it up and expanded and have employed another person which I have had trained as a massage therapist , without hesitation I sent her to Healing Hands in Mosselbay , wow , she is now qualified and seeing clients. All I can say is Elle thank you for the opportunity you have given her, You are a fantastic facilitator , kind and patient, and will see to it that the students understand. Thank you for the opportunity you have given her and most of all “ thank you Healing Hands for my opportunity” I have a successful business i will be forever grateful to you. I will recommend anyone to study through Healing Hands. Sonja Friedschroder

    My name is Michelle I am a lady who is visually impaired working in a corporate environment. After experiencing how our daily life and social demands has an influence on our health and well-being. The stress and rushed effects of economic expectations makes it so much more difficult to find ourselves. Many of us find it difficult to cope and I realized not only people living with a disability have struggles, but we all have something in common. We all need Healing  Hands. Massage is so beneficial for those who can learn and practice the vast techniques,  helping others to relax. It is  a  pain reducer and a toxin eliminator an certainly an extra income to alleviate financial predicaments. Healing Hands provided me with adequate accommodation to my needs as a visual impaired person,  making the courses easy and accessible to enjoy and learn. The lines of communication are always open. Maybe my Healing Hands could become a Healing Word to those with a Disability as it could become your ABILITY.

All about Massage Therapy

Emotional, mental and physical tension is stored in the muscle tissue, and skilled massage applied to the soft tissue encourages the muscular and nervous systems to relax, helping release stress and tension. The muscular, nervous, skeletal and circulatory systems are assisted to work harmoniously, which also acts as a preventative/maintenance to wellness. Waste products like toxins and metabolites caught in the muscle tissue are eliminated quicker. The relaxing, rhythmical movements stimulate the release of endorphins (nature’s opiates), which has added psychological benefits. A treatment may include the use of essential oils (aromatherapy) along with techniques such as effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (tapping), friction, and pressure energy balancing. Often, other complementary modalities such as reflexology, colour healing, polarity, etc. are […]
