Light Therapy/Laser Naturopathy

The goal of this training is to gain knowledge of all technologies and methods for working with light-based devices. This is not just about learning to use specific pieces of equipment (as is commonly taught in individual spas); it is about acquiring universal skills to work with all types of light therapy systems

Our program offers a detailed curriculum, ensuring you master the technique and science of different light therapy devices. You will learn about different thechnology types, skin assessments, safety protocols, ergonomics, and effective treatment plans for diverse health issues. The program is designed to make you proficient in delivering high-quality, safe, and effective skin care.

 If your wish is to adopt a new profession, such as nature therapist, naturopath or massage therapist, this authentic program in advanced holistic alternative medicine will provide you with the necessary tools to expand your practice.

After having completed this program, you will become a LED and Laser Professional. As such, you will be able to begin your career, or add this new and unique knowledge to your existing practice, or you could combine this program with other holistic training offered at Shanti College, such as massage therapy, QI GONG or Ayurveda.
