Courses in Holistic Healing

Article by CarolAnn Bailey-Lloyd

Have you ever wandered what it would be like to become a holistic healer? Due to increased interest in natural and complementary medicine, there are a growing number of courses in holistic healing; some of these programs result in certification or a diploma of completion.

To earn your credentials in holistic and natural health modalities, it's important to decide which courses in holistic healing will benefit you the most. For instance, if you would like to earn a certificate as a typical holistic healer, there are programs that can be completed in as little as four weeks. Studies often involve hypnosis, visualization techniques, therapeutic touch, reflexology, Reiki, EFT (emotional freedom technique), kinesiology, stress management techniques, energy balancing methods, and more.

Though aforementioned program is just one possibility from the courses in holistic healing available today, there are some holistic healing courses that are focused on massage therapy and aromatherapy. These more popular training options can be completed in less than one year; with general courses ranging between 300 and 500 hours. Common instruction includes anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology, various massage modalities (i.e., Swedish massage, sports massage, and deep tissue, and others), CPR and first aid, and history/philosophy of massage therapy.

If you'd like to integrate new diagnostic methods into your herbal or holistic medicine practice, there are courses in holistic healing that teach you about iridology, kinesiology and biofeedback. Each of these holistic diagnostic tools enables individuals to better understand the body's functioning, and where areas of weakness or stress may exist. For example, when you learn how to use iridology, you will be able to clearly distinguish specific markers or characteristics on the iris that are commonly linked to particular health disorders.

Other unique courses in holistic healing may involve flower remedies, gem therapy! , apithe rapy, art therapy, essential oils and herbs, colonic hydrotherapy, life coaching, harmonic healing, Neuro-feedback, quantum touch, and other mind-body-spirit work, among others.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in learning more about these or other holistic health programs, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, naturopathy, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started!
