Spa Treatments

Who is the course for?

This course covers using the gentle massaging action of a dry natural sisal brush, stimulating the circulation and lymphatic system, thereby helping to eliminate toxins from the client’s body. This elimination process helps the body become more effective, improves blood circulation and enhances the immune system, improves the appearance of cellulite and reduces water retention leaving the skin firmer and smoother. Dry Body brushing is often done in spas as part of detoxification and slimming treatments.

Dry skin brushing is one of the healthier self-help methods available to us today. Stimulation of the skin sets in motion natural healing pathways within the body. Additionally, it encourages nerve beds within its structure that in turn increases normal healing processes throughout the body.

Commercially, this treatment can be an important addition to a therapist’s skills as you can carry out other small treatments can be given while the client relaxes in the wrap. i.e. Lash and Brow tint, foot massage or even a facial treatment.
