The Diploma in Somatic Therapy at TUT (Arcadia Campus) trains students as somatologists — allied health professionals specialising in skin care, body treatments, aromatherapy, reflexology, and stress management therapies. The programme is aligned with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and equips graduates to practise in health spas, wellness clinics, beauty therapy centres, and independent practices. South Africa's wellness industry has grown significantly, with luxury spas at major hotels and resorts providing strong employment opportunities for qualified somatologists.
