What's in Demand

Mental and Emotional wellness

Absolutely Yes! Individuals are craving meaningful, safe connections with people who genuinely care, and each person is overcoming stress from the past few years and recognising the power of the absolute necessity of safe physical contact to eliminate depression and fear.

Massage therapy and reflexology directly improve the endocrine (hormone) levels (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins and lower adrenaline, cortisol, and inflammation-producing and stress-producing hormones) and balance the brain and nervous system, lifting people out of depression, anxiety and insomnia and giving then a powerful sense of peace, balance, sound mindedness, inspiration and clarity.


What Clients Expect

Knowing clients is the most essential aspect of having a massage therapy business.

Most establishments have lost touch with massage therapy clients, what they need, what they expect, what they look for and what they will avoid.


  1. Clients seek professional massage therapists with the skills to deliver results in their weekly routines and health maintenance regime.
  2. Clients avoid therapists that only have online training and see them as chance-takers due to the terrible experiences this standard of education produces.
  3. Clients want to feel they are in the hands of someone they can trust with professional, accredited, hands-on training.
  4. Clients will recommend and respect you if you are professional and conduct yourself according to massage therapy's best practices.
  5. Clients are happy to pay and rebook with you when you are confident in your practical skills, and your mannerisms reflect those with experience and excellent customer care.
  6. Clients respond differently to massage than to other services I,e. Personal training. They allow you into their personal space and expect you to be fully trained by a professional trainer who has covered all components.
  7. Clients in massage will always express deep gratitude and show you amazing loyalty, and you will see the best side of each life you touch when you have chosen to study the correct way for your and your clients' benefit.
