By Sunday evening you'll be able to give a complete full-body relaxation massage. Not a few techniques. The whole routine, start to finish, on anyone.

You're hands-on within the first hour. Max 6 students. No experience needed.

How the weekend works

Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 - 18:00. 16 hours, and almost all of it is you at the table.

You'll practise on each other, and you'll rotate partners. That means you spend half the weekend giving and half receiving — which is the point. You can't control your own pressure until you've felt what it does to someone else, and you don't learn to read a body until you've worked on more than one.

Everyone's fully draped throughout, we cover boundaries before anyone touches anyone, and I supervise every session. Come in loose clothing.

What you leave with

A complete routine you can use on friends, family or paying clients. Proper body mechanics, so you still have hands and a back in ten years. Draping, hygiene and consultation done to professional standard. A certificate of completion in wellness massage.

Straight talk on the certificate: this is the wellness route, not the state healthcare one. It's what spas, studios and private clients in Berlin ask for. It won't make you a state-registered Masseur - that's four years and a different path entirely. I'll explain the distinction properly on the course.
