Professional Relaxation Therapy Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 8 Lessons
Professional Relaxation Therapy has been shown to improve the quality of everyday life, by building the skills of resilience to adversity and stress. It is ‘resilience’ that helps us adapt to stress, and bounce back, from the difficult times in life.
The role of a Professional Relaxation Therapist is to provide and project a harmonious, supportive environment where the client can experience a state of deep relaxation. People want to learn how to relax, so the purpose is not only to treat, but to educate them into using the knowledge and techniques for themselves.
This course uses multiple techniques and also suggests additional therapy treatments, which may be studied alongside PRT, to complete a full portfolio.
This subject is complemented by our Stress Management Course.

Professional Relaxation Therapy Course Feedback
I am taking my first course with SNHS, the Professional Relaxation Therapist course. I am so happy that I decided to take this course with SNHS. The course is excellent and I am my first client.
I have been diagnosed with PTSD and GAD for years and I have been fighting through it and even medication has not helped much. Since I started using the therapies in the course my PTSD and GAD is completely under control without medication. This is a miracle. I can’t wait to start my professional practice and start helping others who are suffering like I was.
Looking into the future I believe I will take the aromatherapy course next to enhance my healing practice. Thank you SNHS, thank you for a new lease on life and a new career! Oh did I mention that the course work is absolutely on a professional level.

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.
