Colour Therapy is a safe, non-invasive complementary therapy, that teaches you how to use colour for diagnosis, and then how to recommend healing colours for clothing, decor and diet, as well as introducing light and colour in many different forms of holistic treatments.
Colour affects every aspect of our lives, so there are many different types of training depending on the extent and level you wish to achieve.
1. There are many introductory courses available online and in workshops around the country. These give you a taste of how colour therapy works in everyday life. They may include work on balancing and healing the chakras using colour. Other workshops may use colour with yoga, dance and meditation.
