Panchakarma is a series of traditional Ayurveda purifying, curative and rejuvenating treatments. (more on panchakarma)
This training course is offered in two formats: a fast track format designed for those who already have professional training as a massage therapist, and regular track format for those without prior training. Both formats cover the same material.
The purpose of our Panchakarma training program is to enliven and enrich the innate healing quality available in everyone. Through this carefully designed training program, the therapist learns to tap his/her innate healing ability located in the inner silence or Pure Consciousness. This healing influence flows to the patient through the therapist's intention and healing touch, restoring balance and harmony to the patient's physiology.
The patient leaves with a pleasant and relaxing experience after receiving the rejuvenating, revitalizing and restorative effects of panchakarma.
Our program provides the therapist with a wealth of healing wisdom at his/her finger tips.
The healer learns how to give a treatment that is personalized, according to the patient’s individual unique constitution, and how to specifically address the individual particular imbalances and weaknesses, but still viewing the whole healing context.
The training involves theoretical and scientific understanding, as well as applied knowledge of the different rejuvenation programs:
- their modalities (techniques)
- their mechanism of action
- practice in the application of the different treatments
Our professional panchakarma training course is offered as three modules (level I, II, III). After each module, students will get the time and opportunity to apply and practice the knowledge before the next module starts.
