Course Info

  • Académie Om is committed to offering rigorous, high-quality massage therapy training. Our mission is to train competent, inspired, and well-prepared practitioners to build a sustainable and fulfilling career, rooted in awareness of holistic well-being.

    Academie Om manuals, assignments, and evaluations are available in the language of your choice.

  • For All Courses:
    18 years or older

    For Deep Tissue Training:

    For any Course marked as “Part 2”:
    Having Completed “Part 1“

  • The Courses are divided into three components designed to provide a complete balance of theoretical knowledge, hands-on training, and real-world clinical experience.

    1) Theoretical Classes (At Home)

    The theoretical portion of the training is completed through self-paced home study, including readings, assignments, and guided learning materials. Students may begin at any time and progress at their own rhythm, offering maximum flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles.

    Throughout the process, instructors remain available to answer questions, clarify concepts, and support students in their learning journey.

    2) Practical Classes (In Person)

    Practical classes are held in person in small groups to ensure personalized guidance and close supervision from the instructor. Students learn hands-on massage techniques in a professional, supportive, and student-centered environment focused on skill development, confidence, and proper body mechanics.

    Each week, students also receive readings and at-home practice exercises designed to help integrate and reinforce the techniques taught during class.

    3) Supervised Practicum (In Person)

    The 400h Swedish Massage Therapy Training includes a 30-hour supervised practicum, which may begin once the theoretical and practical portions of the course have been completed.

    Your 30 hours of hands-on massage time count toward 45 hours of training, as the practicum also includes client intake, health interviews, treatment planning, the massage session itself, and post-treatment follow-up.

    The supervised practicum component is a standard requirement in professional massage therapy training programs. However, what makes our program unique is that students complete their practicum within an active professional massage therapy clinic at Vibrations Om, serving real paying clients in a true clinical environment.

    This immersive experience allows students to develop not only their technical skills, but also their confidence, professionalism, communication skills, treatment planning abilities, and understanding of real-world clinic operations.

    Students are paired with mentors who provide guidance, supervision, and constructive feedback throughout the process.

    Unlike many schools that offer limited practicum schedules, our flexible practicum structure allows students to complete their hours according to their availability, making it easier to balance training with work, family, and personal responsibilities.

    As this practicum is part of the educational curriculum, practicum hours are completed in a supervised, non-remunerated training setting.

    • Anatomy & Physiology (90h)

    • Introduction to Pathology (25h)

    • Ethics and Professionalism (35h)

  • Refund Policy
    In case of cancellation a $100 administrative fee will be charged plus the prorated amount based on the number of in-person sessions attended.

    Example: If you attended 3 sessions out of 10 you would owe 30% of the total amount + $100.

    These administrative fees help cover the high transaction costs and account for the fact that your reserved spot prevented others from registering. This policy ensures fairness for all participants.

    Since spots are limited, we kindly ask that you notify us as early as possible so we can offer your place to someone else.

    Absenteeism Policy
    Up to 1 absence is allowed without consequences. Beyond that, a 90 minute private session ($100/h) per missed day of training is required to validate your certification.

    Enforcing a policy of no more than one missed day of class ensures that you are legitimately qualified to offer the services on your diploma.

  • Places are limited to 10 students per session and they fill up quickly so do not delay in registering to ensure the courses of your choice.

It can be a little scary changing careers in a lifetime. But I had decided to get back into the health field and decided that I wanted to become a massage therapist. I starting looking at my possibilities of massage training and education and I came across Vibration Om. After speaking with several other massage schools I had finally met Antoine who was soon to become my massage therapy teacher. He made me feel comfortable, no sales pressure like many others I’ve encountered. His humbleness and honesty made me realize this was the right choice for me.

I attended his classes and really loved that Antoine was 100% fully dedicated to make us great future therapist. He was always warm, very professional but always kept it light and fun. This was an amazing and life changing experience. I highly recommend Vibration Om for anyone who is looking to get their certification as a massage therapist. :)
