Description
Hot Stone Massage Therapy Professional Qualification diploma course
With course creator and instructor Deborah Casey
Natural, holistic and complimentary therapy for improved health, vitality and well-being.
Introduction
Massage therapy with hot stones is a wonderful decadent therapy that is luxurious and an advance practice to add to Swedish body massage and a great addition to aromatherapy massage. Indeed the hot stones, or the cooling marble stones, offer many therapeutic benefits. I have provided combination therapy, in my private clinic, using heated stones with aromatic oils, and I have used heated stones in Reflexology and I have used the heated stones in a way that never required another person to apply them. In this course I teach the traditional application of heated stones as taught to me, you will also learn about the cooling marble stones and marine stones; please note at the present time this course is being reviewed and updated.
The past has provided a rich, vibrant and wonderful array of holistic and complimentary therapy which in today's contemporary society have become ever more invaluable as health services are stretched and many people are suffering burn out from stress, tension and anxiety.
These mind states can create real physical tension in the body and the body sends signals of disturbances such as restlessness, agitation, indigestion, insomnia, pain, mind fog, confusion and a sense of emotional chaos, all as warning symptoms to stop and make changes.
We find in ancient cultures the value of traditional healing practices, known as holistic therapy, a way to relax and relieve the mind and body of these states and this then allows a flow of expression and reconnection to soul and spirit.
When we apply heated volcanic basalt stone to the body tension begins to dissolve, there ensues a relief of tightness and restriction and aches and pains are soothed and eased and results in deeper comfort. From the basis of heating stones hot stone massage developed and has now become a world wide therapy most often provided in spas and retreats.
This is a decadent therapy, a therapy that indulges the mind, body and soul and the basalt stones provide a grounding energy, they help to clear the chakras of any negativity and restore balanced to the brain, body, being.

About Deborah, course instructor and creator
Since my childhood I’ve had a profound interest in nature and natural health - my introduction was through my gran and my mother who had a large garden and an allotment and grew our food. My path of learning led to gaining my education and training in holistic and natural therapy and medicines. I then gained my nursing degree but my passion has been holistic and natural therapy and medicines.
Progressing…
From this foundation I opened Calm Oasis Holistic Therapy as a private clinic. Then five years ago expanded into online, multi-media home study education and training course production and provision. These courses gained approval status from the International Institute of Complimentary Therapists.
Where students undergo in person training the IICT will accept your Diploma, however due to the corona virus issue in person training is not possible and many people are unable to travel. And so this led to the development of the two membership groups; British Holistic Therapy Organisation and British Reiki Organisation which welcomes all students from all locales.
It is my life's mission to support as many students around the world to take back their choice about their health, well-being and vitality. Through natural approaches, founded in ancient cultures, therapy modalities can promote good health and well-being, restore vitality, and empower people with options and choices.
Our organisation provides:
1. Education and Training to students globally
2. Some courses are for information only
3. Access to professional membership
4. Access to professional therapist insurance with out partner organisation, however outside the UK and EU students will need to make enquires to make sure this training will allow professional indemnity insurance will be provided
Approved courses;
The Calm Oasis Holistic Therapy diploma courses have pre-requisites and it is the students responsibility to have met these, do not disappoint yourself with failing to complete the requirements.
The requisites include:
1) completion of levels one and two before going onto the diploma courses
2) where indicated completion of other courses in preparation for advanced learning i.e. level one/back massage before body massage, hot stone back massage and body massage before hot stone massage THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS and this is checked out! There are other courses out there offering accreditations/approvals but ask yourself are you gaining a fully comprehensive course? And you may look at the fees and think they are too costly but you can regain your investment when you receive paying clients... investing in your education is of great value.
2) completion of all assignments and case study
3) hands on practical session which students write about, to ensure they have embraced their learning fully.
Classes offered are online and multi-media as this is the most affordable approach for students. I'm also author of various holistic and complementary therapy books.
Note I work British working time and office hours apply. As such if you send me a message or leave a review I may not respond immediately.
When you enrol onto any of the courses you are accessing a fully comprehensive course, where indicated, which has received approval from an international professional organisation. Where indicated courses also offer the option of obtaining a certificate of completion or a Professional Diploma qualification.
When you undertake the professional training programme of learning you will need to consider and obtain student insurance or where you are a qualified therapist find out if your current insurance covers you for liability.
Deborah Casey and Calm Oasis Holistic Therapy, do not accept, any liability whatsoever for your practices. These instructions may change time to time to ensure students are compliant with our training requirements.
Please kindly note, that none of the courses on this platform, are downloadable due to copyright issues, only with exception of supplementary documents, which are downloadable but remain subject to copyright.

And lastly
I, Deborah, am so very grateful to Udemy for hosting our courses and allowing me and my organisation to bring these wonderful lessons to you. In the present time access to medical care maybe limited or not available for one reason or another, these practices can support healing, though they cannot provide a cure. But most of healing is assisting the body to do what is designed to do - heal.
