The ChillOut Society

 ChillOut

ChillOut has been teaching massage since its beginnings many years ago, and massage remains the activity for which we are best known. Zeb Shaw has, for many years, developed the massage courses to suit the way students learned best and allow students to learn an enormous amount of useful applicable techniques and knowledge in a short evening course. None of our courses are certified and the teaching provided is intended to be informative, but we advise our students not to treat anybody without being a insured as a massage therapist and trained in an approved, certified course.

Courses 

ChillOut society currently offers three different massage courses.

• The Beginner’s Massage Course teaches the basics of swedish masage and covers most of the body over 6 weeks.
• The Intermediate Massage Course takes this much further, teaching advanced therapeutic techniques in an intensive 8-week course. Many of the ‘graduates’ of this course go on to train professionally or help teaching in the society.
• Indian Head Massage is a very simple, beautiful and relaxing form of massage which we teach in a one-day workshop.

Indian head massage and Reiki courses run according to demand. If you wish to do one, please let us know.

Please do not email us asking us when our next massage course is. We run a lot of massage courses in the first term, and a few more during the second term. Join the email list to hear about these when they are starting.

No. The beginner’s massage course and indian head massage course are introductions to the techniques only. Our intermediate massage course teaches you skills well beyond many professional massage courses in Swedish Massage, but all of our teaching is for your personal use only. This is not a professional qualification and ChillOut does not accept any responsibility for the way in which you use what you have learned at our courses. There is no certificate of completion, no qualification, and we offer no guarantee that any of our students are fit to practice.

Once we announce courses on the email list, you can ask for a place using the email address given in the announcement email. Beginner’s massage courses are started in the first few weeks of each semester and Indian Head Massage would be announced a few weeks before it is planned to run (in either semester). Intermediate massage courses are normally announced towards the end of the first beginner’s course of the year (near the end of the first semester).

If you wish to come on a reiki course, email the reiki organiser to ask if there is likely to be another course soon and register your interest.

Welcome to the ChillOut Society where you can learn various forms of massage, healing, chilling and living life to the full!

We’re a chilled out group of people at Edinburgh University (Scotland) whose sole pursuit is that of relaxation. We teach and share swedish massage, therapeutic massage, Indian Head Massage, Reiki, EFT etc. as well as good food, good hugs and good friendship. The ChillOut Committee are normally a great bunch to hang out with and open to new people and new ideas.

Massage courses

Most of the expertise and activity of ChillOut Society currently revolves around our massage courses. We teach different courses, including a one-day Indian Head Massage course, a 6-week beginner’s Swedish Massage Course and an intensive 8-week intermediate course in therapeutic & remedial massage techniques for students who wish to learn some of the tricks used by advanced practitioners without paying the full price for a professional course.

Reiki healing

We run Reiki attunements one or twice a year for those who wish to learn Reiki, and you can receive healing on a drop-in basis on Thursdays at Tollcross healing group, all year round (not organised by ChillOut, but many of us go there). The ChillOut healer’s group usually meets weekly- join the Reiki email list if you would like to swap healings with other healers.

Events Massage Service

The events massage service is available for societies, charities and private functions in Edinburgh doing seated shoulder massage (or even Reiki) - at ceilidhs, balls, fundraising events, parties, club nights- its all been done. Find out more…

Other activities

We run retreats in Roslin Castle a few times a year. EFT, timeline therapy, reflexology and hypnotherapy and many other workshops are all possible, depending on interest.

Most of the courses take place at Teviot House, Bristo Square, Edinburgh. To take part in the courses, you need to be a member of the ChillOut Society. The cost of joining is £3 for the year.
