Program Structure
This training includes three modules:
1) Theoretical Module
You will do this self-learning module at home with readings and assignments. Teachers will be available for your questions and for review.
2) Massage Techniques
This course is done in 10 sessions of 5 hours each. It can be given once a week for 10 weeks or twice a week for 5 weeks. You will have the privilege of learning in small groups which will allow your teacher to have more attention on you. You will also have the opportunity to practice/review the teachings each week with the other students.
3) Supervised Internship
Modules 1 and 2 can be done in parallel. Once these first two modules are completed, you will begin an internship consisting of giving 50 massages. This is an opportunity to practice everything you have learned and to perfect your techniques thanks to the evaluation forms that clients will leave you. At least 5 days of training (20 massages) must be done at the studio, the balance can be done with us or in your own premises. At least 2 of your 50 massages must be done on our teachers and/or certified massage therapists with their constructive feedback. The duration of the training depends on the time you wish to allocate to complete your 50 massages.

Refund Policy
In case of cancellation, a $100 administrative fee will be retained, along with a prorated amount based on the in-person sessions attended relative to the total number of planned sessions. This administrative fee is necessary to cover high transaction costs and to account for the fact that your reserved spot prevented others from registering. This helps us maintain fairness for all participants. Since our spots are limited, we kindly ask that you notify us as early as possible so we can free up your place for others.
Absenteeism Policy
It is important that you attend all training sessions. If you miss a session you can make up for it with our teachers in condensed private classes. The rate is $100/h.
