Massage Training

I have been looking forward to starting the massage course with Calming Influences for months! I have now started the course, assignments and case studies…

I attended my first day, with no idea what was in store. We covered some theory which was really interesting and met some of my course mates. I found it really strange the first time I used massage wax to massage a strangers forearm. Luckily, the teacher and my course mates are lovely so I didn’t have to worry. By the end of the day we had covered a variation of different massage techniques including, skin rolling, wringing, effleurage, hacking etc. and had the basics of a neck, shoulder and back routine. I did not feel confident at all and so a week later, I practiced on my partner. He told his friend it was good (I’ll take that!). I still didn’t feel confident though. I have now completed 8 massages from 35-55mins long and still don’t feel confident! I think with time and experience my confidence may grow. I also need to manage my own expectations about how good I should be at this stage in the course. Thinking positively, I massaged someone I didn’t know and they have asked for another (YES!) and from all 8 massages there has been no horrendous feedback!
