Massage Workshop for Two
Over de cursus
Als gecertificeerd en geregistreerd massage-instructeur, in samenwerking met de OMB Academy, kan ik je in deze workshop de basismodule: Rug- en Schoudermassage aanleren. Je krijgt daarnaast veel persoonlijke aandacht, tips en correcties. Daarnaast word je door mij en je medecursist gemasseerd, waardoor er veel praktijkervaring is.
Teaching Materials
You will learn relaxation massage techniques for the back and shoulders: exactly those areas that most often require attention. The workshop has a unique formula: it consists of an account in the online learning environment with the OMB Academy to which you will have access to for 6 months after registering, and a practical lesson at Chi Works Massage Studio & More.
The online learning environment contains instructional videos of all the techniques that are discussed in the workshop. However, the videos are Dutch spoken but you can still see how the techniques are done. And do not despair, because there are also clear photos of all the techniques accompanied with detailed instructions, and these are all in English! Therefore, this massage workshop is a complete package: online learning environment and a 3-hour practical lesson.
TIP: If you register for the workshop, check the Knowledge Center (kenniscentrum) on the OMB online learning platform (use your web browser to translate it to English) because there is a wealth of useful information about massaging and everything around the topic of massaging.
Structure of the Course
After a short introduction, one of the two participants lies down on the massage table. I then demonstrate the series of techniques, while giving instructions and explanations per technique. Once the series has been demonstrated, the other participant can then practice this series of techniques while I guide and correct them. Then we repeat the same process on the other participant. This means that you are both massaged by me and by your fellow participant. So, you are truly receiving the most optimal and hands-on approach for properly learning to massage with these techniques.
TIP: Keep the rest of your day or evening free after the workshop to enjoy the buzz of the massage and to chill out.
For Whom?
The workshop has been developed for those who are going to massage each other as a couple, or as a hobby in small groups, or for those who would like to know how it feels to give or receive massages, before pursuing the hobby further or switching to a more professional path.
Criteria
- You do not need any previous knowledge of massage to follow this workshop.
- You need to be a minimum of 18 years of age on the day of registration.
- You sign-up as a pair for this workshop, so make sure you are both comfortable with one another.
- You are not in your first 3 months of pregnancy.
- You are fit and healthy without any medical complications in which massaging can adversely affect. (When in doubt, contact Chi Works to check, or preferably your house doctor).
Sign-up Procedure
You have come this far, so hopefully you are about to sign-up for the Massage Course for Two at Chi Works Massage Studio & More. The next step is to fill in the registration form on the sign-up page. Please fill in all mandatory fields. The workshop consists of one module, so in the registration form, when you come to the question asking you to check the boxes that apply to you, then only the first two boxes are an option. You can choose the one that you prefer, or you can check both of these boxes.
Here is a breakdown of the possibilities:
- 1 module per morning or afternoon (during the week or weekend)
- 1 module per evening (during the week only)
Tip: I strongly recommend one module in a day instead of two, because the course is really intense in terms of the amount of information you receive, and the focus required to properly learn the techniques. Don’t forget that you are also massaged in this course, which is wonderful to relax and to experience what you are learning, but it also makes it more challenging to absorb info afterwards. (Of course, when planning or logistics mean that you need to do two modules in a day, then we will make that work.)
Once I receive the registration form, I will contact you within 3 working days* to schedule an appointment for the workshop. When a date and time are agreed upon, you will have to make the full payment for the workshop, which is €225,- for both participants, and this includes access to the online learning material from the OMB Academy and a 3-hour practical lesson at Chi Works Massage Studio & More in Woubrugge.
[* Note that during the summer school vacation, response time may be much slower if I am abroad.]
Method of Payment
Preferably via Tikkie, which means I send you a digital request via my bank by WhatsApp and you make the payment using iDeal.
If iDeal payment is not possible for you, then the only other alternative is via a bank transfer, whereby I provide you with my IBAN and you transfer the amount due.
Note: Payment by cash is not possible.
You are expected to make the full payment within 3 days after we agree on the date and time of the workshop.
What’s Expected?
- Clean hands with well-trimmed fingernails.
- Fresh personal hygiene while avoiding strong scents/perfumes.
- Loose and comfortable clothing.
- Socks or indoor slippers (the studio is a shoe-free area).
- No smoking.
- Mobile phones on silent with trill function switched off.
What’s Next?
I welcome you at my Massage Studio in Woubrugge on the agreed date & time.
Did you enjoy the workshop and now want to explore further techniques? Or are you curious how to massage other body areas? Well… that’s possible!

Other module you can choose from for a Massage Workshop for Two are:

The price, procedure, sign-up, payment etc. is all the same as with the first workshop.
