Massage Courses
A Course in Massage
The Central Highlands School of Massage was created in 1998 to facilitate the growing need for well-trained local masseurs in this region.
The massage courses are ideal for people looking for a change in career or a skill to enjoy with family and friends.
Currently, all courses are offered in Creswick Victoria at 53 Albert st
Relaxation Massage Course
This course will be conducted over 7 weeks (one day per week 9.30am-3.30pm) and students will have their hands on from the outset and all lecture notes will be provided. At the end of the seven week course students will be competent at performing full body relaxation massage.
The course aims are to teach students basic relaxation techniques in a comfortable and nurturing and professional environment. Using your own body as a tool is important in the art of massage particularly if masseurs lack the physical strength required for some of the deep tissue techniques.
A Certificate of completion will be awarded to successful students. Tables, oils and manuals are supplied. Students are required to bring 2 large towels and a pillow.
Currently taking applications for the third term
