College of Classical Massage

Professional Massage Training is a great way to enhance or change your career and for many is often the first step to an exciting and challenging new direction in life.

This training can offer many rewards, such as, personal development, learning a new skill, grounding you more in your body and great job satisfaction.  Massage skills can help you to connect to friends, family and your clients on a deeper level. We continue to have a 100% pass rate.

College Principal, Michael Gibbons, brings much experience of many forms of massage work, learnt over 15 years in the field.  His creative and dynamic approach will encourage you to enjoy and get the most out of your training.

Holistic Massage is also known as Body Massage

Holistic Massage

Classes are taught in a relaxed environment using talks, lectures, visuals and detailed practical demonstration. Students work closely with the tutor learning not only the techniques but also how to protect themselves from the strain and stress while carrying out body therapy.

An important part of training with the college is to trust and develop your intuition and blend massage techniques to suit each individual.

Anatomy and Physiology

It is important for therapists to understand how the body functions and heals itself. This is a fascinating subject to study. You will learn about the cell, skin, skeletal, muscular, vascular, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, digestive, respiratory and urinary systems.

Students learn through talks and active participation. Regular homestudy is carefully designed to prepare our students for their examinations.

As part of your training, students need to receive two massages from the tutor, Michael Gibbons. This is so you can experience what a completed massage, as taught by our college, is like and be talked through the process. To organise an appointment please telephone 01273 562676.

You will also learn about professional conduct, ethics, client management, setting up a business and contraindications.

A British Red Cross or St John’s Ambulance First Aid Certificate will need to be completed externally and the certificate presented at the end of the course.

Testimonials:

“Michael’s approach to teaching was light hearted and consisten. He made it a fun and positive learning experience, particularly as I had not studied for exams since college! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, made lots of friends and would highly recommend the course to others. Thank you”

“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the course, right from the very first day. The environment was perfect, calm and peaceful and very cosy during those chilly winter days. As well as being a superb teacher, both with massage technique and Anatomy and Physiology, you managed to get the balance of learning and having fun exactly right.My memories of the course are all good, the bliss of being massaged and feeling totally relaxed and lots of laughter. Having spent thirteen years in financial services, when I seemed to be permanently stressed, it has been such a joy these last few weeks to experience the pleasure of giving a massage, getting such positive feedback from clients AND getting paid for it! Thank you so much for a brilliant course, it’s been life changing for me.”
