The Weleda Accredited Holistic Esthetician Facial Course

Life of touch: restoring rhythm with rhythm

Wellbeing treatments - particularly massage and the recognition of the life of touch - are very much part of Weleda’s DNA. Dr Ita Wegman, Weleda's co-founder, studied massage before she became a medical doctor. She developed a very individual rhythmical massage technique, echoing nature’s rhythms and patterns.

 
Inspired by this approach, we have developed an accredited qualification with Crossfields Institute, so those wanting to learn Weleda’s unique ethos and specialist facial techniques can expand their existing beauty qualifications or develop a completely new skill as a Holistic Esthetician.


The new course has been developed by Weleda’s skincare expert Elizabeth King drawing on her 23 years’ experience as a holistic facialist specialising in anthroposophic skincare, as well as 100 years of Weleda wisdom.

Elizabeth is joined by a highly experienced Esthetician Training Team. The result is a fully accredited, Ofqual regulated, CFI Level 4 Award for Holistic Estheticians.

What will you get out of the course?

• A truly holistic approach to working with the skin.
• Training from highly skilled experts in the field of holistic skin care.
• A CFI Level 4 award qualification as a Holistic Esthetician and qualification as a fully accredited Weleda Esthetician.
• An exclusive Esthetician Trade Account with Weleda which will give you a 30% discount on RRP.
• Experience in successfully delivering Weleda’s Signature Facial Treatment.
• Knowledge of the highly effective Rhythmic Activation Method unique to Weleda.
• Understanding of the three-fold approach to working with and treating skin phases.
• Experience in working with a conscious, mindful touch.

The training includes all the necessary skincare foundation including skin analysis and skin conditions, anatomy and physiology in relation to skin and face, and Weleda’s treatment consultation and facial sequence. The course also provides a deeper understanding of Weleda’s natural and organic cosmetics and working with the products adds an invaluable additional layer of training for the esthetician.

Although a facial, it's described as a holistic wellbeing treatment. Using Weleda’s certified natural and organic skincare, together with mindful and rhythmical movements, the aim is to restore rhythm and vitality to the skin, while taking the client into a quiet space of inner calm and deep relaxation. These unique Weleda practices and products connect both esthetician and client with nature, which has been at the heart of Weleda’s purpose since 1921.
