The Iyisana School of Natural Ways

Iyisana - The Spirit of Healing

Hello and welcome to the Iyisana School of Natural Ways.

The school was first established in January 2000, as the Whole Health Management School of Reflexology and was accredited to the Association of Reflexologists. In response to many changes brought about by the development of a national curriculum, including the requirement to teach how reflexology has developed into a ‘modern science’, I made the decision to re-launch as ‘The Iyisana School of Natural Ways’, and to become completely independent of any regulating body. Apart from reflecting the demand to introduce training in other areas of healing, the change will allow the school to focus more on the healing and intuitive aspects of natural pharmacy, natural healing and living practices treating mind, body and spirit with compassion and care.

‘Iyisana’ is a very ancient word — more usually seen as ‘asana’ (‘Iyisana’ is nearer the original) and is the expression for the spirit of healing. It is the spiritual aspect of the art of healing which the school reflects, bringing truly natural and holistic healing to ourselves, our clients and our world.

PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHIES

At its heart, the School has a set of principles and philosophies which are integral to the way we teach:

	First Do No Harm - the Natural Ways are the original ways of healing and are profound, extremely effective and very safe.
	Healer, Heal Thyself - that every practitioner recognizes the importance of self-healing and is prepared to put in place for themselves those things they ask their clients to do.
	The practitioner and client work in equal partnership with the intent of assisting the client to adjust back to his/her intended healthy normality.
	That each individual has the absolute right to choose for themselves the way in which they wish to be healed.

APPROACH

To meet these principles the School's approach is to finely balance the academic and practical skills required to become a natural healer with the nurturing of each individual student's personal development and self-healing. Whilst on the course, you are both student and client. A key aspect of all the courses is to help you open up to your own intuitive and healing powers and to encourage you to develop your healing crafts in a way best suited to yourself.

The school itself has evolved as a direct response to the demand for courses which are truly holistic, spiritual and provide guidance in the use of therapies as healing arts.

You should find all the information you need in the following pages, but if you have any questions or comments about the courses or website, please use the email contact below.

I do hope you choose to join our school and look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
