Course Overview
Add a Versatile New Dimension to Your Wellness Practice
Colour is used throughout the wellness industry to influence atmosphere, encourage relaxation, support self-expression and create meaningful sensory experiences.
The Colour Therapy Certificate Course teaches you the principles behind colour therapy and how these concepts may be incorporated into professional complementary wellness consultations.
You will explore the theory and history of colour therapy, the spectrum of light, colour psychology, auric colours and chakras, colour preferences, colour counselling concepts, visualisation, meditation, colour breathing and the therapeutic use of colour in clothing, décor and the environment.
The course also introduces traditional colour therapy techniques including chromotherapy, irradiation, colour reflexology concepts, colour acupuncture concepts, silk scarf treatments and the complementary use of crystals, fragrance and music.
For aspiring practitioners, it provides a foundation for developing a dedicated colour therapy offering. For established therapists, it can become an additional modality that enhances existing treatments and gives clients another wellness service to choose from.
About The Course
Learn How Colour Can Become Part of a Professional Wellness Consultation
Colour Therapy is presented in this course as a complementary wellness modality based on the use of colour, light, colour preferences and related traditional energetic concepts.
Students learn how different colours are interpreted within colour therapy, how colour preferences may be explored during a consultation and how colour may be incorporated into techniques such as chromotherapy, visualisation, colour breathing, meditation and environmental recommendations.
An important part of the programme is learning to bring these elements together into a structured colour therapy treatment or consultation.
The course also explores how colour therapy may complement other modalities, making it particularly useful for therapists who would like to broaden the range of experiences and services they can offer their clients.
Colour Therapy is a complementary wellness modality and does not replace appropriate medical diagnosis or treatment.
Why Study This Course
One Skill. Many Ways to Build Your Professional Offering.
Colour Therapy is unusually versatile because it can be incorporated into many different types of wellness businesses.
Rather than learning only one treatment routine, you develop an understanding of colour that can be applied to consultations, relaxation sessions, meditation and visualisation work, complementary therapy treatments and even discussions around clothing and supportive environments.
After completing the programme, you may choose to develop Colour Therapy as a dedicated service or combine it with related training such as:
Aromatherapy
Crystal Healing
Reflexology
Counselling
Stress-management and relaxation services
Other complementary wellness therapies
For an existing practitioner, this creates an opportunity to broaden your service menu without completely changing the type of business you already operate.
For a new practitioner, it provides a distinctive modality around which a small complementary wellness service may be developed.
Modular Focus
