It was so great to see all my old BalancingTouch friends again. I just realised that when you become part of Balancing Touch, you become part of a community that loves helping people and loves giving the best of what massage has to offer.
In my day to day I can always lean on all the nuggets of wisdom that you get in class. In that moment you don't know that it is important, but as soon as you get stuck into it, the knowledge just comes flooding in.
I had so much fun showing the judges and everyone around what I do and I am absolutely just so honored that I did so well. Just a testimony of the quality of education that you provide.
Thank you so much for all of your guidance through all of the years helping me to be able to live this dream.

Throughout my short yet impactful journey with Balancingtouch, I have been amazed at the depth of knowledge and practical skills I have acquired. I have had the opportunity to learn from highly experienced and qualified instructors with a genuine passion for massage. Their expertise and guidance have been invaluable in honing my technique and understanding the intricate connections within the human body.
What sets their courses apart is the emphasis on hands-on practice. From day one, we were given ample opportunity to practice our newly acquired skills under our instructors' careful supervision and feedback. This practical approach has significantly boosted my confidence as a massage practitioner.
I have also appreciated the supportive learning environment fostered by our instructors, Devin and Kyle. The smaller class sizes allowed for personalised attention, and my classmates became like a close-knit community, providing support and encouragement throughout the course.
I wholeheartedly recommend Balancingtouch to anyone seeking an enriching education in massage therapy. It has been an absolute game-changer for me.

I completed eight courses through Balancingtouch and have my own successful practice in the Gauteng region.
There is something special about Balancingtouch. They don't only teach you about the craft of massage.
They teach you about yourself, nurturing your individuality and blending all the significant parts of you into your new craft.
When you start working on your clients, you bring that little bit extra to each session that no one could teach. And that is what sets them apart from any other school.
Nina works on professional athletes, Strong Men and anyone who needs assistance with incredible success

"I am proud to say that I studied at Balancing Touch Massage School. From the start, they supported me on my journey as a massage therapist, encouraging me to stay resilient while upholding their values of integrity and excellence. Devin and Kyle are true mentors who guide you not only in massage techniques but also in personal growth and professionalism.
The training I received at Balancing Touch was extremely helpful when I participated in the Massage Championships.
The Massage Championships is more than just a competition—it's a gathering of like-minded therapists who are passionate about learning and uplifting each other. Being part of this community, where we all share a love for helping people, is incredibly rewarding.
For anyone aspiring to be a massage therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend Balancing Touch. Their classes are infused with energy, and the knowledge they impart is truly next level. They remind you of the purpose behind every touch, every technique, and the joy of being in this profession. Balancing Touch is more than a school; it’s a place where you find purpose and community.
Testimonials
Bianca Botha
Lymphatic Specialist. Gauteng student
I completed my course in October 2017. The course is filled with knowledge regarding the lymphatic system and the basics of internationally used techniques. The support you receive during the course and after the course is amazing. Balancingtouch became my family. Upon completion of my course and completing my hours before certification. I was overwhelmed by how much I needed my skills and how busy I became. I never anticipated to do this as a profession.
No words can explain how amazing the support from Balancingtouch is. In November 2018, my staff (who studied at Balancingtouch) and I, being internationally recognised, were accepted to attend an intensive Training program to Specialise in Cosmetic Surgery. We are grateful for the foundation and support Balancingtouch has been giving us.
Balancingtouch is a place where you find yourself and your inner purpose. You study and work as a family. We will always be grateful that Balancingtouch was the beginning of our story at Lymphatica.

3rd Place Overall Winner of Massage Championships 2024, Gauteng student
I entered the massage industry in 2016 with the intention of expanding my business in a different direction and using it to complement my career in Personal Training.
I was referred to Balancing Touch by one of my fitness mentors, and over the years, massage became my main focus and priority.
It's easy to obtain a qualification, but what makes Balancing Touch so unique is the way the courses are taught. My lecturers, Devin and Kyle, taught with such enthusiasm and passion for the industry that their love for massage became infectious. To this day, I carry that same passion into my own career.
My mission is to be recognised as one of the best sports practitioners, a go-to for rehabilitation and performance enhancement. I strive to help athletes reach new heights in their careers and to teach people how to effectively manage their stress, allowing them to experience more flow in their lives.
The MCSA Massage Championships provided a stepping stone toward gaining more recognition in the country. I am so grateful for this platform, as it offers a great space to expand your network as a practitioner, to be inspired and to receive professional guidance on how we, as practitioners, can elevate our practice.
For those interested in studying massage therapy, I highly recommend Balancing Touch. For practitioners looking to level up, the MCSA Massage Championships is a great place to start. See you next year!
