swedish & deep tissue Massage TRAINING

The Swedish & Deep Tissue Training course has been designed for those who want to learn massage properly, with time, guidance, and individual support.

This one-to-one course combines Swedish massage with deep tissue techniques, reflecting how massage is used in real-world practice. Rather than teaching treatments as separate systems, the focus is on developing confident hands-on skills, pressure control, and professional judgement so you can adapt each treatment to the client in front of you.

Private delivery allows the training day to move at a pace that suits you, with plenty of opportunity to practise, ask questions, and build confidence in a calm, supportive environment.

Pricing: £495

(A £100 booking fee is required to secure your training date. The remaining balance can be paid on the day of your course or added at checkout if you prefer to pay in full.)
