> Are you feeling pain or someone you know is suffering from body pains? Do you > have a low tolerance for pain or someone you know has but needs their body > pain to be treated? If yes, this course will help you to manage natural pains > and acupuncture as a solution to relieve pain! DESCRIPTION: The classic Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that the channels of energy run in even patterns through the body and across its surface. These energy channels, named meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nutrify the tissues. A blockage in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dike that backs up in others. Remember that comparatively few complications from the utilization of acupuncture have been reported, in light of the millions of individuals treated yearly and the number of acupuncture needles utilized. However, complications have ensued from inadequate sterilization of needles and from unsuitable delivery of treatments can also be possible. If not delivered properly, acupuncture may cause serious adverse effects, including infections and punctured organs, so make sure to do your research when selecting a practitioner and learn more about it in this course!

We are the ‘tool’ of our trade. It could be argued that we have a duty to those we work with to prioritise our own mental health and wellbeing so that we can give them the best possible service. This live online training events shows you how. ‘Burnout’ is commonly defined as a physical and emotional state caused by excessive or overwhelming workplace stress. This is often specifically related to work but of course feelings of burnout can be impacted or compounded by other life events and caring roles too. Even if we know good stress management techniques, this often isn’t enough. Burnout is a very common phenomena in the ‘helping professions’, A 2018 research review paper published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology analysed 30 years of research on this topic, involving 9,000 psychotherapists. Over half of the therapists they sampled reported “moderate-high levels of stress and burnout”. The good news is that burnout, overwhelm and empathy fatigue are not a given of working in roles where we are consistently exposed to others’ emotional pain. New research and insights into ‘buffering’ the impact of this work mean that we can consciously choose to put in safeguards to our own mental wellbeing, whilst also remaining connected and present with our clients. Emily Gajewski’s online course draws on her extensive experience of working as a therapist and clinical supervisor, in the NHS and privately, for over 20 years. Throughout the day she examines the many ways working in the caring professions can impact us personally and gives you a wealth of practical steps you can take to mitigate them. She also covers the most up-to-date guidance on keeping ourselves well and thriving in caring roles and will help you develop a realistic plan for your own continuing wellbeing. > Excellent online training…. very insightful and thought provoking > > HILARY KEARNS, ACUPUNCTURIST WHAT YOU WILL LEARN * The latest research on how to prevent burnout in your working life * How to identify burnout in ourselves and others – the warning signs you need to look out for * Easy, practical steps to protect yourself in stressful work situations * How to avoid ‘compassion fatigue’ * Evidence based ‘top tips’ for optimal working practices to maintain your own wellbeing * The Cycle of Stress – how to ‘work with it’ for optimal health * An understanding of vicarious trauma – and how to avoid it * Techniques to calm yourself in client sessions when you are ‘triggered’ by something they bring up * Understanding the difference between compassion fatigue and empathy fatigue * Reducing your own risk of depression when you’re worried about your clients * The joy of creating ‘flow’ in our working life * Constructive ways to manage difficult feelings that arise as a result of your work * Practical techniques for grounding and ‘letting go’ of clients * How to safely explore our own areas of vulnerability * Useful tips for ongoing stress management * What you need to maintain your own mental health * How to re-ground yourself if you’re feeling overwhelmed or derailed by a client * An opportunity for you to reflect on your own practice and wellbeing, take some time to step back, learn what works for you and how you can create more spare capacity * Time to relax, try out techniques and refresh your tools to support your wellbeing and build resilience * How to utilise what you’ve learnt to create your own realistic wellbeing plan. > Very useful and practical.

While I am already in the Health industry in another field, I found this course added a more in-depth perspective to health from a cellular point of view and clearly linked the importance of nutrition and the incidence of chronic disease. I also found the on- line accessibility user friendly. EMMA RUBIO, HEALTH COACH Spain I studied the Health and Nutrition certificate first with the Plaskett College to see if what it was taught matched my believes. At the end of that certificate I decided to pursue my studies with Plaskett college to become a Nutritional therapist. For that, I am studying Nutritional medicine and Iridology. During the Health & Nutrition certificate I learnt already about supplements. Now I know which type is best and most absorbable by our body, and the combinations to keep minerals in balance. Thus, I am more confident when I choose supplements for me and my family. I liked that the founder Dr. Plaskett was a doctor in Biochemistry. My background is in science and I wanted to study both the biochemical and the holistic sides of nutrition. I am happy to have a mentor to answer my doubts, and get my assignments reviewed. I like the flexibility they gave me to complete my first certificate. I love the subjects and the way is explained. CATHERINE ROGERS Henley-On-Thames, UK I have found this course extremely enjoyable, user friendly and insightful. The information covered throughout the course was up to date and provided a holistic approach, educating students on nutrition at multiple levels. I found the content of the course easy to read and understand but also challenging when it needed to be. For someone with no prior knowledge of nutrition it was perfect yet was still applicable to student who had prior knowledge on the subjects covered. The course started with the basics to improve your base level understanding and built up the course week by week. Material was extremely user friendly. Materials could be studied through the course book provided or downloaded which was extremely useful for traveling! The tutors provided fantastic feedback. They explained when I got things wrong and were always happy to help. Their contact time was great too. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course on so many levels and I would recommend it to
