Course summary
Become qualified to offer facials for cancer patients in your salon, spa, clinic or rooms. This qualification is delivered online and can be completed at your convenience, to suit your schedule.
Jennifer Young’s postgraduate diploma Holistic Facial is a certified qualification designed to give spa therapists, beauty practitioners and healthcare workers the understanding, knowledge and confidence to provide this specially designed facial to clients going through the different stages of cancer, without requiring medical consent.
However, we know, through evidence-based research, that when someone is going through cancer treatment, living with cancer or recovering from it, touch treatments can have a powerful physical, mental and emotional impact on health and wellbeing. That can range from the emotional and psychological impact of diagnosis and treatment, to skincare problems such as extremely dry and sensitive skin.
This course at the Jennifer Young Training School is combination of online learning and the supported completion of case studies. Through it, you will learn about the biology of cancer, the science of its treatments, the biological drivers of resulting side-effects, and how to adapt and deliver the Jennifer Young Holistic Facial safely and confidently.
