Self Study: £175 Tutored: £295
An online Diploma Course of 10 Lessons
The Holistic Pain Management course covers the history, techniques and applications that go to make up the holistic pain management processes. Plus guidelines for dealing with the most common presenting issues regarding pain faced by the ‘holistic therapists’ clients. Modern health and therapy knowledge frequently include methods that reflect the holistic connection between the mind and body. Holistic Therapy solutions are discussed throughout the lessons.
The course introduces many other therapies but does not qualify the student to work with them. Subjects referred to are Reflexology, Hypnotherapy, Healing Massage, Aromatherapy, Relaxation Therapy, Meditation, and behavioural therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique and Life Coaching.
This subject is complemented by our Professional Relaxation Therapy Course.

I was very grateful for the online studies with you and your staff. I have finished the Drug and Alcohol Counselling, and the CBT, with satisfactory grades. Currently, I am doing the Holistic Pain Management and after then the Aromatherapy and Advanced Aromatherapy.
In a year or two I might commence my own practice, as a holistic practitioner. With my length of experience, as a qualified nurse for several years, I may merge the skills I have in my career, and help more people with their health problems.
Please post this on your website, to inform everybody that enrolling with the School of Natural Health Sciences is fantastic.

Prior to enrolling with SNHS, I had spent years of casual crystal healing and essential oil therapy on my own friends, family and animals, and having finally accepted my calling as a healer, the SNHS have been amazing in providing fully comprehensive course material in a non-complicated manner within a wonderfully concise structure.
I have been very impressed with the Crystal Healing, Anatomy & Physiology, Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Holistic Dowsing, Herbalism and Holistic Pain Management courses so far, and am looking forward very much to the next set of courses. Many Thanks!

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
There are no time restrictions, you simply study and return work when you wish. Our courses do not expire, so take your time and enjoy the gentle learning curve. You simply work through the assignments at your own pace, free from the restrictions and pressures of working to deadlines.
On average students take approximately 200 hours, 3 – 4 months, to complete a non advanced course. Around 300 hours 5 – 6 months for an advanced course plus time for practical work with your volunteers for any hands-on therapy.
This is simply a guide; everyone studies at their own pace.
There are question papers at the end of each lesson, and a final question paper at the end of each of the courses which are all conducted via email. No attendance is required.
The Final Exam is classed as an open book exam so you can consult your course material to help if necessary.
An insurable Practitioner/Therapist Level Qualification is awarded on successful completion of this course.
