Irelands Premier Training Academy for Massage Therapists

Holistic Massage Diploma

The Holistic Massage programme is designed for beginners and is probably the most popular course on our programme. The syllabus equips students with a thorough knowledge of the human body and massage strokes while also educating them in professionalism, health and safety legislation and business skills.

The skills and knowledge acquired during this programme provide an excellent opportunity for a second income or pursuit of similar studies in the complimentary field. We provide a comprehensive range of teaching aids and study materials to facilitate the learner with no prior experience. We like to promote a relaxed and enjoyable training environment, which also aids the learning process.

Help is always at hand with tutor support available throughout the week and students forming study groups. Most programmes have a modular design, which enables the learner to follow a structured programme of learning which aids beginners.
