Training & Courses

Professional complementary therapy training, delivered through Natural Therapeutics.

This work is grounded in clinical practice, professional standards, and the development of safe, competent practitioners.

About Natural Therapeutics

Natural Therapeutics has been established since 1993, founded and developed by Carole Preen.

Over that time, it has built a reputation for delivering structured, in-depth training rooted in real practice — not just theory.

As this work transitions forward, I continue to deliver and develop training under Natural Therapeutics, maintaining its focus on:

• Professional standards

• Depth of understanding

• Safe and effective practice

• Real-world application

How This Training Is Different

Many complementary therapy courses focus on technique alone.

This training goes further.

The focus is on developing practitioners who understand:

• The body and how it functions

• When and how to apply techniques appropriately

• Scope of practice and professional boundaries

• How to work safely with real clients

This is not about memorising routines — it is about learning to think, assess, and work effectively.

What Is Offered

Training through Natural Therapeutics covers a broad but carefully structured range of complementary therapies, from foundational qualifications through to advanced practitioner-level work and continuing professional development.

Core training areas include:

• Clinical Aromatherapy & Essential Oil Science (Levels 3–5)
  Covering both traditional use and deeper clinical application, with a strong focus on safety, formulation, and therapeutic reasoning

• Massage Therapy & Advanced Bodywork
  Including foundational massage training through to more advanced approaches

• Remedial Massage & Trigger Point Therapy
  Focused on working with pain, dysfunction, and injury in a structured and effective way

• Myofascial Release
  Developing a deeper understanding of connective tissue and restriction within the body

• Neuroskeletal Realignment Therapy
  Working with structural patterns and alignment to support functional improvement

• Reflexology and Related Approaches (optional if you want to include)

• Reiki & Energy-Based Therapies
  Taught in a grounded, structured way, suitable for both personal and professional use

• Crystal Therapy & Complementary Modalities

Alongside this, a range of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses are offered, allowing practitioners to deepen and expand their skills over time.

A Structured, Professional Approach

Training is delivered with an emphasis on:

• Clear learning outcomes

• Practical application

• Case study development

• Ongoing assessment and feedback

Students are supported in building confidence, competence, and the ability to work independently.

Who This Is For

This training is suitable for:

• Those beginning a career in complementary therapy

• Existing practitioners looking to deepen their skills

• Therapists wanting a more structured and clinically grounded approach

Standards & Expectations

This is professional training.

Students are expected to:

• Engage fully with the learning process

• Complete required case studies

• Work within appropriate boundaries and scope of practice

The aim is not just to complete a course, but to develop as a practitioner.

Relationship to Other Work

Training delivered through Natural Therapeutics is separate from Pathway of Renewal.

• Natural Therapeutics focuses on clinical, professional complementary therapy training

• Pathway of Renewal focuses on personal development and spiritual work

This separation ensures clarity, appropriateness, and professional integrity across both areas.
