Your Complete Start in the World of Massage

Do you dream of being able to give someone truly deep relaxation? To confidently give a flowing, full-body massage that calms both body and mind? This Private English Massage Course is the perfect start for you.

This is not a crowded weekend class. This is an intensive, 12-hour private training course, taught 1-on-2. You will learn not only techniques, but how to massage with feeling, care, and intention, fully attuned to the other person. Your instructor, Samir, will guide you through everything from the back and shoulders to the neck, face, and feet.

After this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to give a complete, safe, and deeply relaxing massage to your friends, family, or partner.

What You Will Learn in This 12-Hour Training

This course is designed for beginners and teaches you the art of massage step-by-step. You will develop the skills to give a comprehensive, 60+ technique, full-body massage.

• Back and Shoulders: The most requested areas. You will learn professional techniques to release tension and apply pressure safely and effectively.
• Legs and Feet: Learn how to refresh tired legs and give a grounding, relaxing foot massage using a variety of effective techniques.
• Arms and Hands: Discover the surprisingly relaxing power of a detailed arm and hand massage.
• Neck and Face: Learn the careful and refined techniques required for the delicate neck, scalp, and facial areas.

More Than Just Techniques A collection of techniques doesn’t make a great massage. The real art is in the application. Therefore, we focus heavily on:

• Pressure and Pace: How do you apply the right amount of pressure? How do you maintain a relaxing pace?
• Flow and Transitions: Learn to build a massage logically, moving smoothly from one body part and technique to the next.
• Intuitive Touch: The ultimate goal is to use your new knowledge to massage from a place of feeling, attuning to the person on the table while trusting your skills.
• Your Own Posture: You’ll learn how to use your body correctly to give a massage without getting tired or sore yourself.

Your Complete Learning Experience: Private Training & Online Platform

We believe in a complete approach. This course combines 12 hours of intensive, hands-on practical training with a comprehensive online platform. This blended format ensures you are perfectly prepared beforehand and can continue to practice and review afterward.

The Private Practical Training: 1-on-2 Expert Guidance

This is the core of your learning. The 12 hours of practical training are scheduled privately for you and one other student in Samir’s professional studio in Woubrugge.

• Intensive & Personal: You are not in a large group. This 1-on-2 setting guarantees you receive maximum personal attention, direct feedback, and expert guidance from your instructor, Samir.
• Give and Receive: You will practice on each other, allowing you to experience the massage from both sides. You’ll feel what the techniques do, and you’ll learn how to apply them.
• Flexible Scheduling: The 12 hours can be scheduled flexibly to fit your agenda. This is often split into two full days (e.g., a weekend) or spread over several evenings or shorter day sessions, depending on what you and the other student agree upon.
• A Safe, Professional Setting: You will learn in a calm, professional studio environment, designed for focused, comfortable learning.

The Online Learning Platform: Your Digital Library

After you register, you will get 6 months of access to our extensive online learning environment to support your journey.

• Detailed Technique Videos: You get access to the full video library with all 60+ techniques. This is the perfect way to review what you learned in the practical lesson.
• English Text, Dutch Audio: All written materials (technique descriptions) are available in English. Please note: The spoken instructions in the videos are in Dutch. However, the visuals are clear, professional, and serve as an excellent reminder.
