About Us | Training & Education
The Personal Touch is proud to offer extensive and quality courses to get familiarized with working in the Spa Industry and Tourism in general. With individual and highly personal courses for mainly the local African women, education and therefore a greater possibility to employment is achieved.
The extensive training offered is being expanded throughout Africa, to be able to offer more local women the chance of becoming active within the industry. It is in this light our courses are purely developed for local community members, as to follow the company policy of providing income and opportunities to rural areas of Africa.
A selection of Courses is offered, all created individually, matching International Standards. In every course we combine teaching both theory and practice to enhance the learning experience. For example, learning the muscular system will include the anatomy, as well as touching and massaging those muscles. The experience of learning in this way is so rich that retaining knowledge is easy. For this reason we strongly recommend studying the theory and practice in the same course. Our courses, as well as our general approach to massage and spa treatments, is completely holistic. We believe a client-centered treatment as well as a student-centered course is more effective. We therefore pay a lot of attention to the student’s own development, taking the various African cultures, society and conducts into account.
All suggested treatments are based on the Personal Touch philosophy. This unique and professional method involves a large number of intricate movements. Highly trained therapists use different rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system and blood circulation, to maintain the health of the skin and restore the natural balance and energy of body and mind. No appliance or machine is sensitive or dexterous as the human hand and the hands of a Personal Touch trained therapist have the skill to sense and respond to your skin’s own specific needs!
Our course includes an extensive theoretical and first aid awareness training, relationship improvement skills, as well as stimulation of sensory awareness and spiritual consciousness as the context for the more technical aspects of the massage training. Course supervisor and principal tutor Nathalie is a qualified Sports Massage Therapist since 1994 as well as a professional certified massage therapist in other types of massages and owns private Spa's as well as a number of smaller retreats in Zambia and is available to take the holistic approach to healing - concentrating on the whole person rather than a specific ailment- further into Africa.
She has been active in movement, relaxation and body works on a regular basis for the last decades and integrates this experience in the teaching of massage on the courses. She works with a team of creative and dedicated African ladies, both on the teaching and the support side, who all qualified in massage as well as various other complementary therapies by the careful hands and mind of Nathalie, and are committed to the holistic philosophy of the course.
