Touch of Light

Massage is sharing touch used to heal and soothe the body, mind and spirit. It has been so for many thousands of years, and is something we do naturally with loved ones when we ‘rub it better’.

The Touch of Light Massage Course is about developing and expanding not only your knowledge of massage techniques, but also to bring greater understanding of yourself and your clients needs in order that you may give as you would wish to receive. Massage aims to bring calm, peace, harmony, alignment, flexibility, flow and strength.

The graduate of this diploma will have the opportunity to work in one of our healing clinics to obtain clinical practice, where their professionalism and competency as a therapist may be developed in a well established and busy clinic environment. Students are supported in their individual and natural development as a therapist.

Light of Hope is a Community Interest Company

Community Interest Companies (CICS) are limited companies, with special additional features, created for the use of people who want to conduct a business or other activity for community benefit, and not purely for private advantage. This is achieved by a "community interest test" and "asset lock", which ensure that the CIC is established for community purposes and the assets and profits are dedicated to these purposes. Registration of a company as a CIC has to be approved by the Regulator who also has a continuing monitoring and enforcement role.
