Ayurveda is an age-old healthcare art and science thought to have originated from Lord Brahma, the Hindu God and in practice in the Indian subcontinent for more than 5000 years. It means literally the "Knowledge of Life" and is based on the observation of Mother Nature and man, and their correlation. This probably makes it the earliest medical science having a positve concept of health to be achieved through a blending of physical, mental, social moral and spirtual welfare.

Today, Ayurveda, as with other forms of proven traditional complementary medicine is gaining a fast and strong foothold in our lives where it has proven to effectively strike a fine balance between one's physical health and spirtual well-being.

The Australasian Academy of Wellness Therapies is delighted to offer this internationally recognised course in Ayurveda Massage by prominent Ayurveda experts, Mr Prasad Ninan and Dr Anand Peethamabaran Nair from India.  

In this 5 days course, you will get to know about how holistic Ayurvedic remedies & treatments are used in some specific areas to bring about benefits and results, and also gain knowledge in the ancient "Science of Life - Ayurveda, that bring about a complementary approach to a full holistic massage practice.
