This course is exclusive to Face The World - we aim to reintroduce the lost art of hand massage to the therapist's repertoire! A good hand massage will help tremendously to de-stress your client, open energy channels and create a feeling of well being. It's also a perfect treatment to therapy swap - read all about essential therapist self-help in hand care here.
About Tibetan Massage – Ku Nye
Pronouned “Coon-Yee”, in its most simple terms means Ku – to apply oil and Nye - to massage. This wonderful, ancient massage has taken place throughout the Himalayan region and Tibet for thousands of years and draws on Indian, Chinese and Persian wisdom as well as its own traditions. As with many Eastern massage treatments, it uses an holistic approach in viewing the body as a whole – and balancing energy flow and life-force as well as physical benefits. Tibetan Medicine believes that we are made up of five basic elements: earth, water, fire, wind and space. It is the wind element that is the focus of Ku Nye.
The hands-on techniques applied in Tibetan massage are surprisingly similar to those used in Western methods! Such methods include rubbing, kneading, stroking and stimulation of acupressure points. The oil/medium used in the massage treatment not only provides slip for the therapist, but binds the wind element in place and brings it into balance.
Added Benefits of Traditional Tibetan Music
The CD you will be provided with as part of this course is in itself, highly therapeutic. Created just for Face The World, it incorporates Tibetan chimes, singing bowls and the unmistakable sounds of Tibetan monks chanting.
Our bespoke music, therefore, is a perfect and authentic companion to enhance the overall experience and benefits for the client.

Loved the training for this treatment; Julia was a great tutor and happy to share her knowledge. The treatment is amazing to give and receive, it has quickly become one of my most popular treatments and has surprised many clients at just how relaxing it is. Music which accompanies it is truly relaxing and combined with the aromas of the crème - a wonderful experience.

Hand massage is vastly under rated, this course really teaches you some great movements for the hand and arm. Every therapist should consider adding an extended hand massage to their facial treatment!
