About this course
This online massage course teaches you the foundations of professional relaxation massage entirely through our learning platform. You study at your own pace, translate the theory straight into practice by working step by step on your own model in your salon or home setting, and finish with a recognised certificate of participation.
This training is designed for practice. You don’t just get the theory — you learn to translate it directly into a treatment you can carry out yourself. Whether you are just starting out or want to broaden your offering, you work towards a relaxation massage that feels professional, safe and pleasant for your client.
During this online training you learn the techniques step by step via the learning platform. The training is set up so that you can practise the treatments straight away on your own model within your own salon, practice or home environment. This lets you translate the theory directly into hands-on experience in a familiar setting.
Why add this online massage course to your salon?
This online massage course lets you add a professional relaxation massage as a new treatment without closing your doors. A self-paced learning platform means you study around clients, while hands-on practice on your own model builds real confidence. Relaxation treatments invite repeat bookings, so you strengthen client retention and open a steady, recurring revenue stream for your salon or clinic.
Certification
After successfully completing the training you receive a certificate of participation. This shows that you have mastered the fundamentals of professional relaxation massage and that you can apply the techniques you have learned safely and responsibly. The certificate is a valuable addition to your profile as a masseur, beautician or wellness professional.
Learning platform
You follow the entire training via the UMI Academy learning platform. Here you find all the theory, demonstration videos, reference material and lesson content neatly together.
