"Closing Off" the Aura - have a read!!

Deirdre Campbell has been acquiring her skills in massage for over 25 years. She has always had a fascination for massage in all it's forms, both Western and exotic. Over the years - having studied widely and gained formal qualifications in a variety of disciplines - she finally succumbed to the endless stream of requests for her to teach the unique style of Indian Head Massage that she practices. As an IHM Practitioner who is qualified to "Advanced" level, (with additional formal qualifications in Reflexology Massage, Full Body Massage, Reiki (Master Level) and Aura-Chi Healing as well as her professional qualifications in Aged Care), Deirdre is more than qualified to teach Indian Head Massage, and does so incorporating certain of the unique Aura-Chi energetic healing processes in her classes, as she does in her own practice. But what so many of her students consistently report is that her teaching style is more caring and nurturing than any other teacher that they have encountered. It would be this that explains why so many of her students return to complete the various other courses Deirdre offers; Ayurvedic Relaxation & Marma Massage, Holistic Hand & Foot Massage and Aura-Chi Healing classes.


The name "Indian Head Massage" is a little mis-leading, because it actually covers massage of; the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp and face, in a seated or lying down position.  It has been found to be wonderful for reducing shoulder tension, fatigue, headaches, eye strain, insomnia, etc.  It can de-stress the body and help with fatigue and edginess, relieve emotional stress, and improve concentration etc.   The use of essential oils and stimulation of the scalp can also improve hair texture and vitality.  It is a perfect massage for people who carry their stress in their shoulders, or don’t like “stripping” (only your top is removed and a towel wrapped around), or for people unable to lie down on a table. The massage can take from 30 minutes for a stimulating massage to an hour for a more relaxing massage, including Marma Point Massage.  (Marma points are the Indian Ayurvedic equivalent to reflexology/acupuncture points). 

This is a concise course and covers:

Marma Point Massage
Hands on healing
Chakra aligning and Aura Sealing (closing off)
Self massage
Basic anatomy
 Basic aromatherapy using essential, Ayurvedic, and carrier oils
Introduction to Ayurvedic principles e.g. doshas
Patient history
Legal requirements i.e. insurance

The course is run in two consecutive stages.

Stage One is the Basic Certificate Course where the student is taught Indian Head massage to a high degree of competency, suitable for the enthusiast to offer this form of healing massage to friends and family.

Stage Two is the Advanced Course, designed for those that are interested in pursuing this healing art to a finer degree, most likely with a view to gaining a formal practitioner's qualification.

Those wishing to gain a Practitioner's Certificate in Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage, are required to practice for a specified amount of hours on friends and family (this is a very individual period of time depending on previous massage experience, confidence etc, but a minimum of 30 hours is desirable).  Upon successful completion of a private assessment, a Practitioners Certificate is issued, enabling the Practitioner to be registered with an industry association, and to be eligible for insurance, both in Australia and overseas.  (The Practitioner Assessment covers up to 2 hours coaching, feed-back and guidance).

The Practitioner's qualifications through the Aura-Chi School of Natural Healing are accredited by, and entitle the holder to membership with, such organizations as the International Institute of Complimentary Therapists.

The courses generally take place over two days (Saturdays and/or Sundays) 10.00  am to 6.00  pm in Chadstone.  Students catching public transport can be collected from Jordanville railway station if required.  A bus also runs from Chadstone Shopping Centre on Saturdays (10 minute trip).

Extensive original resource materials (handbook, charts and oils) are provided for the course.  Ayurvedic/therapeutic Young Living essential oils are used throughout.

No previous experience in healing or massage is necessary for this course.  It takes place in an extremely relaxed and friendly environment, and numbers are intentionally kept to minimum to ensure maximum personal tuition.  This is a very hands-on course and every student is given every opportunity not only to give, but to receive wonderful massages.
