What is Therapy Massage?
Therapy Massage is aimed at preventing ailments and improving overall health through various massage disciplines: chair massage, foot reflexology massage, Aromatherapy - Essential Oil Massage on a Table and Thai table massage. In Asia massage is part of regular medicine, and in the west, the benefits of massage are also becoming more and more familiar. Thus, research shows that 15 minutes of chair massage results in reduced stress at work, increased alertness and increased speed and accuracy of mathematical calculations. Office workers who are regularly massaged are more alert, perform better and are less stressed. Chair massage is the best massage to learn if you want a flexible job. As a chair massage therapist you can work in markets, festivals, offices, shops, businesses and more. Foot reflexology is the most common massage in Asia against insomnia, headache, backache, knee pain, problems in the foot, stress and more. The benefits of foot reflexology are not yet known in the West, but awareness grows, so you will have big career opportunities as a foot reflexologist. It is known that through Aromatherapy - Essential Oil Massage on a Table people recover faster from injuries and also to stay healthy. In addition, this is the perfect massage to improve your immune system (by stimulating the lymphatic movement that filters waste from white blood cells that fight bacteria), reducing stress (by reducing the level of cortisol in your body), to become happier (by increasing endorphin, the happy hormone) and fight insomnia (the massage balances your mood through the impact on the endocrine system). And the Thai Table Massage is the most advanced and increasingly popular massage in wellness centres, because of the many health benefits of this massage technique. As a Therapy Massage Practitioner, you have the opportunity to have a very varied job because of the different massage techniques you learn, and you can also offer the techniques in different locations and companies.

I found the classes to be very well organised, professional and very enjoyable.
Jorge is passionate about his school and about teaching and the classes were always comfortable, focussed and well structured.
I enjoyed Jorges way of engaging with the students and his interest in his students was always very apparent.
I enjoyed this course a lot and would recommend it further.
The equipment we received (table and chair) was well chosen and looks very professional, and delivery of equipment was without problem.
We received individualised attention in a small group and I am exited to start working in the field of massage.
The option to repeat the courses for free is a great idea.
Thank you again for the great course, it was a great experience!
Thank you for being so passionate and showing a lot of interest and care for your students.

I think the whole thing is really well structured and linear, repeating some movements in the different courses help a lot in understanding and memorizing, even the similarities between hand and foot massage help to put the whole picture together. Timing-wise is also great, I really liked how in the first courses we were just practicing parts of the book every day but by the last one we manage to do the whole massage twice in a lesson, gives a very good feeling of progression. The idea of you buying the table and the chair for us is really good, it motivated me a lot to really do it as often as possible.
Personally I really like your business-oriented mind, I had this feeling already the first time we met to talk about the course, and it was a major thing that made me certain about taking the course. I'm sure I can get knowledge about massage in many places and courses all over Berlin, but together with this aspect of business that you bring to the table makes it much more worth it in my opinion.
All in all I'm super satisfied from the course, I feel a thousand times better than when I started. The course is great, good job! :)

Jorge ist ein passionierter Lehrer mit einer sehr positiven Einstellung. Sein Interesse an jedem einzelnen Schüler und die familiäre Atmosphäre im wunderschönen Gartenhaus machen die Schule zu einem warmen Ort, an dem ich mich immer willkommen gefühlt habe. Die kleinen Klassen geben viel Raum für ein intensives Lernerlebnis und die Materialien sind sehr hilfreich für den praxisorientierten Unterricht. Ich kann das Therapy Massage Practitioner Program jedem empfehlen, der schnell in die Materie eintauchen und sich einen Überblick über die vielen verschiedenen Massagetechniken verschaffen will. Ein besonderes Extra ist die Möglichkeit, alle Kurse unbegrenzt zu wiederholen. Ich danke Jorge für die tolle Erfahrung und freue mich nun das uralte Wissen dieser großartigen Heilmethode in die Welt zu tragen. Danke nochmal und viele Grüße, Eleonora

I enjoyed this program. I am really glad to have this in my luggage and I can't wait to start working actually.
I think you are a really nice, fair person and a good teacher, it was easy to understand and everything was clear (even if difficult sometimes) and you were patient.
I loved the tea, the music, the atmosphere, it was very positive.
So all good it can only be better!
