We’re thrilled to announce a bold new chapter for The School of Natural Therapies – our expansion into the spa therapy world with the launch of our brand-new Spa School.

Following growing demand and conversations with spa managers and industry professionals, we recognised a vital need in the spa sector: high-quality, sustainable training designed specifically to support the long-term wellbeing of therapists. The industry has spoken, and we’ve listened. Building on our successful partnerships delivering training at prestigious spas such as Aman Spa at The Connaught and Brown’s Hotel, we’re now delighted to offer high-quality spa training for both individuals and spa teams alike.

Why Spa-Specific Training?

Traditional beauty-focused pathways often fall short when it comes to massage-intensive roles in spas. We frequently hear of therapists facing long-term musculoskeletal issues due to inadequate training in posture, biomechanics, and sustainable techniques. That’s where we come in, and have done since 1989!

Our Level 3 Awarded Spa Therapy Diploma is carefully crafted to be kind to therapists’ bodies while delivering outstanding treatment outcomes to clients. It’s a holistic, career-ready approach.

What’s Included?

Launching September 2025, our Spa Therapy Diploma includes:

Full Body Massage
Advanced Massage and Deep Tissue Techniques
Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology, including common diseases and disorders of the human body.
Facials and facial skincare, including skin analysis, steaming, mask application and facial massage techniques
Hot and cold stone massage

With both ITEC/VTCT-awarded units and accredited advanced content, this course offers a fresh route into spa therapy – without requiring a beauty background.

It’s ideal for career changers, new entrants to the wellness industry, and spa managers looking to future-proof their workforce.

Spa Managers – This Is for You Too

In addition to our new Spa Diploma, we continue to offer tailored, high-impact training for spa teams, delivered onsite or at our training centre. Popular in-house options include:

Setting New Standards

As a long-standing leader in the world of massage and remedial therapy, offering respected qualifications such as the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Massage, we’re proud to bring that same excellence to the spa therapy space.

Our training is grounded in clinical skill, therapist wellbeing, and a realistic understanding of industry demands, not just ticking syllabus boxes.
