MY PROGRESSION TO BECOMING A MASSAGE THERAPIST
The following is a brief outline on becoming a Qualified Massage Therapist.
I spent the greater majority of my working life in the Aviation industry, from 1969-1999. The early years were learning experiences which led to progressing through the ranks to eventually become a Supervisor & Relief Duty Manager. These duties ultimately induce stress which then in turn leads to:
- Headaches
- Sore muscles
- Irritability and the list goes on
I managed most of this through regular exercise. I ran, played hockey & squash, then finally cycle racing on & off road.
Exercise is a GREAT stress reliever.
About 1990 my wife gave me some gift vouchers for a therapeutic massages. You might say “THE MASSAGE SEED WAS PLANTED” and from then on I wanted to learn this ancient art. At that time being a shift worker was not conducive to being able to attend regular classes, however in 1998 the airline company I worked for was going through a restructuring of the management system which in turn was going to require me to re-apply for my own position. The option was to re-apply for my own job or take a compulsory redundancy. The “MASSAGE SEED” re-emerged. I took the redundancy in 1999 and became a student in 2000 to gain my: - Diploma of Health Science (Massage)
- Diploma of Remedial & Sports Massage.
It’s now ten years on since completing my course and training, and the best part is “I HAVE ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT ALONG THE WAY”. I have met people from all backgrounds and have been presented with many different & sometimes difficult scenarios, from aching muscles, headaches, shoulder, neck & spinal problems.
- My clients range from teenagers. (children under 16 must be accompanied by parent or guardian)
- To elderly and everywhere in between.
- Athletes
- Pregnant women are especially catered for, I have a Body Support Cushion to enable you to lay face down even up to the 36th week of confinement.
My INTENT to my clients is to assist you with the healing process and if you accept that INTENT then some form of healing will take place no matter how large or small. You must remember that you heal yourself. I am just the facilitator that assists this process. I will NEVER promise to fix any problem, all I will say is that I WILL DO MY VERY BEST to help relieve & promote wellbeing within oneself.
