If you're looking to expand your advanced aesthetic skills, mesotherapy training courses with the Cosmetic College could be the ideal addition to your training calendar. ​Mesotherapy is a safe, natural alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures and is ideal for dry, dehydrated and dull skin or simply as a skin boost. Treatment can be applied to the whole face, neck, chest and hands. The technique uses very fine needles to deliver a series of injections into the middle layer (mesoderm) of skin. The idea behind mesotherapy is that it corrects underlying issues like poor circulation and inflammation that cause skin damage. We welcome, beauty therapists, doctors, nurses, dentists and prescribing pharmacists onto the course. We are also one of the only providers of this course to be able to offer the training to non-medical students.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PREREQUISITES * Minimum 18 years of age * Good command of English * Be able to learn independently * A strong desire to build a career in aesthetics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE STRUCTURE * The online study, virtual lecture and in-person practical training * All courses are intimate with four learners in class 2-1 ratio. * 1 day of onsite training

FOR NEW MUMS AND THEIR CHILDREN IMPROVE WELLBEING We offer time to discover what you and your child enjoy.  We explore mindfulness and grounding exercises for mums/carers and babies. ENJOY THE FRESH AIR A cosy campfire, campfire treats, play, crafts and walks in the woods are very much part of these sessions and make the most of being outdoors. Story telling and singing, seasonal crafts and getting hands on in the mud kitchen give your child lots of options for fun in the fresh air. BUILD CONNECTIONS Building connections with your babies and other mums is a very natural progression as you have time to relax and enjoy each others company. SUPPORTING ALL NEW MAMAS Wednesdays 11am - 1pm (term time) Mamas in nature supports new Mums and their babies. This safe, supportive space can bring everybody positivity, connection and joy.  The feed back from Mums is really positive with members feeling more relaxed, supported and calmer. Mama’s in Nature is partly funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and is only £3 per carer per session. Access to these sessions is for existing attendees  or via social prescribing. If you are interested in sessions because you  feel you or someone else may benefit from attending, please email  info@badgerforestschool.co.uk to discuss.
