Massage Lubricants
You will need to bring your own lubricant for when you are treating in the classroom – here at Jing we recommend the use of wax. If you are coming on a myofascial course you will not need wax but we recommend a waterbased lotion.

Regardless of national and local guidelines PPE is still required at Jing, face masks at all point in the building and the below PPE for treatments.
- IMPORTANT! You will nead to wear a face mask on arrival and during treatments. Face Masks (Type IIr) for each day – EXAMPLE HERE:

- Optional: Box Non-latex disposable gloves (vinyl or nitrile) – Bring the whole box! We really recommend the example here – EXAMPLE HERE:
- At least 70% alcohol sanitising gel or wipes – EXAMPLE HERE:
What to wear on a Jing course
- Loose fitting comfortable clothes (jeans and skirts are not appropriate) as the days will be mainly practical work
- All jewellery is to be removed during massage sessions
- We work without shoes on; so if you get cold feet you might (not in any way compulsory) want to purchase some yoga socks as they have grippy soles. Click HERE for an example
Courses that need some extra equipment
Hot Stone Courses
All of the above PLUS:
Stone Kits: Obviously, you will need a great set of stones to carry out your work! For this course you are required to bring your own because this will benefit you in becoming a confident stone therapist; using your own stones during practice sessions will get you used to your own equipment (important because they all have their own personalities!). A Jing Kit can be purchased from Vulsini (https://vulsini.com/collections/hot-stone-massage), and use the discount code: JING1119 for some money off!
Stone kits can be purchased from other companies or second-hand – we recommend you purchase at least 40 stones of varying sizes (sacrum stone; large stones; medium stones; small stones; face stones; trigger point stones & toe stones), with a high iron content.
Stone heaters: We recommend that rather than buying an expensive stone heater you purchase a “crockpot” or slow heater of size 5 litres or larger from a good electrical shop such as Amazon Argos, Currys, Comet or John Lewis. You will need to purchase one that is wide rather than deep. These usually retail at about £30. Bring this with you as the heaters vary massively and it’s best to get used to your own!

The other option which is suited to mobile therapists is to buy a Vulsini heating bag.
Pregnancy Massage
All of the above PLUS:
- A REALLY big blanket/sheet – this is to cover a pregnant woman, and keep her safe and secure.
- In addition to the above linens you will need to bring: x3 Pillows (super important for bolstering the pregnant women)
