Unique Qualities
The Wellness Spa Practitioner Program offers students the unique opportunity to embark upon a healing journey for themselves. Students will learn the foundations of caring for the self and once they put these modalities into practice they will learn ways to share the knowledge with their customers in the spa industry. Through courses such as mindfulness meditation, healing touch, Ayurvedic medicine and yoga students will learn the basis of energy and energy movement and learn the secrets of spiritual healing and well being.
The Wellness Spa Practitioner Program is a new format based on our original program, expanding on practical skills and updating contemporary developments within the spa industry. The program was developed in direct response to the needs of a growing spa industry. The program will provide introductory level learning of the most important and frequently applied spa modalities. Students will graduate from this program with a thorough foundation to build upon. The program reflects a changing spa environment with the shift towards more integrative personal care, incorporating stress management, health enhancement and healing modalities.
Recent research conducted by ISPA (International Spa Association) suggests that the Canadian and American spa consumer is demanding a more balanced and holistic approach to spa treatments provided by knowledgeable, helpful staff. Spa clients of tomorrow expect spa procedures and programs to help clients achieve optimal health, which is a major challenge that can only be met through education of existing spa practitioners and those entering the industry. This program will educate spa practitioners of the future to understand and apply more specific health enhancement spa procedures.
Students can register in the entire program during one year or they may opt to take a segment of the program one at a time. Aromatherapy, Thai Massage, Relaxation Massage and Healing Touch may be taken separately and students can apply the credit to the certificate in the future.
