GTi Indian Head Massage Course

Discover the ancient art of Indian Head Massage and learn to deliver a deeply relaxing, restorative treatment that nurtures the body, mind and spirit.

Indian Head Massage is one of the most popular and versatile holistic therapies, offering a wonderfully relaxing experience that can be enjoyed in a treatment room, spa, salon or workplace. As the treatment can be performed with the client seated and does not necessarily require a massage couch, it is particularly suited to therapists wishing to offer mobile treatments or introduce workplace wellbeing services.

With increasing awareness of the effects of stress on physical and emotional wellbeing, holistic therapies are becoming an increasingly valuable part of modern self-care.

This comprehensive, hands-on training course will give you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to deliver a professional Indian Head Massage treatment, combining traditional techniques with a holistic approach to healing and wellbeing.

Train with an Experienced and Passionate Teacher

Your training will be delivered by Davinder Bahia, an experienced massage therapist, holistic practitioner, energy healer and teacher with over 20 years of experience in massage and complementary therapies.

Davinder brings a wealth of practical knowledge from her extensive background in Swedish Massage, Aromatherapy, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, NO HANDS Massage, Indian Head Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage, Advanced Facial Massage, Energy healing and Meditation.

As an experienced teacher of massage, meditation and energy healing techniques, Davinder is passionate about sharing not only the practical skills of massage but also the deeper art of therapeutic touch, presence and connection.

Her teaching philosophy goes beyond simply learning a sequence of massage movements. She encourages students to develop confidence, sensitivity, body awareness and an intuitive understanding of their clients' individual needs.

With Davinder's supportive, engaging and personalised teaching approach, you will be encouraged to develop your own natural style while maintaining professional standards and safe, effective techniques.

You will leave the course with more than a qualification — you will gain the confidence and inspiration to offer your clients a truly nurturing treatment experience.

Discover the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda

Indian Head Massage has its roots in the ancient Indian healing tradition of Ayurveda, a holistic system that recognises the interconnected nature of body, mind and wellbeing.

During your training, you will be introduced to the traditional Ayurvedic principles that underpin Indian Head Massage, including the significance of energy balance, marma points and chakras.

You will explore how traditional techniques can be incorporated into a modern professional massage treatment to encourage relaxation, ease muscular tension and promote a greater sense of wellbeing.
