Insted Conference Facilities

Anna Noren - 17 May 2010 - 0 Comments

Following the recent "Chamofix Massage" held at Insted, we thought this was an ideal opportunity to ask the ladies some questions concerning the 'conference room' facilities on offer at Insted.  Take a moment to have a quick read.

Question : Insted Chamonix takes a unique approach to language learning - combining language learning with a lifestyle incorporating active sports such as skiing or surfing in inspiring locations throughout Europe, including their headquarters in the heart of European skiing "Chamonix".  You are here at Insted as a professional massage therapist leading a training session for massage therapists in the Chamonix Valley - can you describe the major benefits of having access to this space in Chamonix and the importance of reaching out to other professionals to continue/update their training?

Answer :

Ruth: Most Chamonix locals know where Insted is, and it's easy to find and central with parking nearby. The weblinks to directions on the Insted page help a lot too - so instantly the great location is time-saving and easy for me and the participating therapists.
More importantly, it's great to have a bright, airy space with good teaching facilities - whiteboard/ projector as well as plenty of toilets and kitchen facilities, not to mention great views! It meant we all could get on with the training and learning in a comfortable, inviting environment.

We plan to continue to arrange periodical massage courses and really hope to encourage massage practitioners from around Europe to join us in such a stunning location and combine their massage training with the amazing mountain sports out here.

Mel:
The working environment was excellent and spacious for the size of group we had. It seems like there are many highly experienced quality massage
therapists in Chamonix and it was a pleasure to share my massage training with them. I look forward to returning.

Question : What are the core objectives of the training facility you are offering to the massage therapists taking your course?

Ruth: We are offering a Sports Massage Masterclass for massage therapists based in Chamonix and beyond... Really because I wanted to have access to such a facility on my doorstep so I assumed plenty of other masseuses would to!

Mel: I suppose the objective is to share the massage skills I've developed
through the London School of Sports Massage with the Chamonix community.  Ruth invited me out here and I loved the idea of combining some work with this stunning high mountain location.

Question : As a massage therapist, what would you say is the single most important opportunity you have identified in a training environment like this?

Ruth: It's been great to get to know a bunch of other massage therapists and share our skills and ideas. Everyone seemed to inspire and be inspired by each other.

Mel: It's just great to get a group of enthusiastic learners in a good
classroom and watch everyone develop - often in their own way!
