Facts About Holistic Massage Training in Dublin

If you want to become a holistic massage therapist, it's essential to know that it's a process. You can't just attend a one-day training or watch an online tutorial video and expect to be ready for the job. It takes time, effort, and dedication.
Facts About Holistic Massage Training in Dublin

To offer full body massage in Dublin, you’ll first need to undergo holistic massage training. This means enrolling in an accredited course like the National Training Centre’s Holistic Massage Therapy course, which is fully accredited by the SMA – The Association for Soft Tissue Therapists.

Key Things You Will Learn During Your Holistic Massage Training

The holistic massage therapy course is designed to teach you the ins and outs of holistic massage therapy. During your training, you will learn about all aspects of holistic and relaxation massages.

You’ll also get an introduction to the history of holistic massage therapy and its benefits for both clients and practitioners. You’ll tackle the types of people who are most likely to benefit from holistic massage therapy and how they can use it to improve their lives.

You will learn about anatomy and physiology so that you can treat your clients with proper care and attention. To be more specific, you will know how the body works and understand what is causing each person’s pain or discomfort. This enables you to give better massages and target specific areas where the problem exists.

Moreover, you will gain valuable knowledge about nutrition and healthy living habits during the course of your training. This is because many people who visit massage therapists are looking for ways to improve their health on a larger scale. You’ll learn how to help people make changes that will lead them toward a healthier lifestyle.

You will also learn about various techniques used in holistic massage therapy and how these can be applied effectively during a session.

Excellent holistic massage courses include hands-on practice sessions with classmates and instructors alike. Depending on the course, you may be required to log X number of hours of massage treatment and document these activities. The practice sessions serve as opportunities for you to learn how to deal with clients and help prepare you for your first day on the job!

Duration of Holistic Massage Training in Dublin

How long does a holistic massage course last? Well, this entirely depends on the type of course you are taking. The duration can range anywhere between 3 to 6 months.

Part-time holistic massage courses in Dublin take around 6 months to complete. This programme is ideal for people who want to study while working because the classes are scheduled in the evening or during the weekend. For example, the National Training Centre’s part-time evening course is held every Monday, 3 hours per session.

Meanwhile, the intensive programme lasts for around 3 months or 11 weeks. In this type of programme, the classes are either held several days a week or their duration is longer. At NTC, their intensive course is scheduled every Monday from 10 AM to 5 PM.

Taking an intensive holistic massage course is something you should consider if you want to get certified ASAP. But when you take this programme, make sure that you’ll be able to keep up with the rigorous schedule.

Knowing how to offer full body and relaxation massage is a very useful skill that anyone can learn in their own time. You can use it to help others and make money from it as a career. So, if you are interested in holistic massage or want to work as a massage therapist, all you have to do is enrol in an excellent holistic massage therapy course.
