Course
Body Wood Therapy
Course taught as an official member of the EMA (European Association of Wood Therapists).
Body Wood Therapy is a type of massage used to sculpt the body, eliminate toxins, drain retained fluids, reduce deep cellulite, and relax muscles, among many other benefits.
Although the course lasts 2 days, upon completion, we offer a month of follow-up support for students’ work and practice, helping to resolve any queries.
At the end of this practice month, we will hold a follow-up session to review everything learned and conduct a final assessment, answering any questions that might arise when first incorporating this technique into your work.
This course is suitable for both beginners and existing therapists who wish to incorporate a new technique into their professional practice or enhance their working methods.
If you wish to incorporate comprehensive wood therapy into your work, we offer a package deal combining the Body Wood Therapy course with Facial Wood Therapy. These are two distinct techniques that complement each other, allowing your clients to receive a complete treatment in one place – sculpting the body and providing a facial lift.
Our Academy offers the Body Wood Therapy course as an official member of the EMA (European Association of Wood Therapists).
