About this course
This on-site massage training is an intensive hands-on day in which you learn, under personal guidance, how to perform a professional relaxation massage from start to finish. You practise directly on a model, master the right grips, pressure and posture, and learn to recognise contra-indications. After just one day you can confidently get to work with a certificate.
During this practice-oriented training day you learn not only the theory behind professional relaxation massage, but above all you get hands-on yourself. Under the guidance of an experienced trainer you practise the techniques directly on a model, so that you learn to apply the right grips, posture and treatment structure in practice.
You work towards a professional execution that is entirely focused on wellness and relaxation. Thanks to the personal guidance and hands-on practice, you develop not only technique but also the confidence to welcome your first clients with complete peace of mind.
Why choose this on-site massage training?
This on-site massage training lets you add a sought-after relaxation massage to your menu in a single day. You master the right grips and pressure hands-on with a real model, so you can start safely straight away. For your salon or clinic it means a fresh revenue stream, higher client satisfaction and strong retention through returning bookings.
Practice-oriented learning
This training is strongly practice-oriented. Instead of watching passively, you work actively on a model under the guidance of an experienced trainer. You receive direct feedback on your grips, pressure and working posture, so you can adjust right away.
This way you develop not only the theoretical foundation, but above all the confidence and skills to start working with clients straight away. You leave the training day with a complete treatment that you can carry out independently.
Certification
After successfully completing the training day, you receive a certificate of participation. This certificate confirms that you have practised the professional relaxation massage under guidance and can carry out the treatment independently — a valuable addition to your profile as a professional.
Online learning platform
In addition to the on-location practical day, you gain access to the UMI Academy online learning platform. Here you’ll find the theory behind the treatment clearly laid out, plus demonstration videos, reference material and additional course material.
This way you can prepare for the training day at your leisure and afterwards revisit and deepen what you’ve learned at your own pace. The platform remains your reference work as you apply the techniques in practice.
