No other course can prepare you to treat clients in two days
At Discover Massage Australia, we want to help you learn to become the best massage therapist possible, which is why we focus on quality trainers, hands-on practical learning, and core skills.
We’ll teach you the skills and techniques you need to successfully treat clients, and we’ll show you the underlying principles that form the basis of what we do.
We all know the importance of having a system to follow. Without a system it’s very hard to know right from wrong, or how things negatively or positively affect your desired massage result.
Leading the way for over 22 years
As one of the most experienced colleges, we’ve training thousands of people since 1997 – now we’re the largest hands-on college in the country.
We want to help you build your career, whether you become a dedicated massage therapist or use your skills to complement your other services. Our course is also perfect for people trying massage for the fist time or those simply wanting to broaden their skill set. So, we spend more time teaching and less time talking, and we back up the techniques with solid business and client liaison advice that can benefit everyone, no matter what field you work in.
Don't just take our word for it.
