Do I need to be a therapist or have previous experience in any therapy to join the course and qualify?
You need NO previous experience in massage, however as it is a very personal and transformative treatment. It would be beneficial for you to have good communication and supportive skills as clients will often experience an emotional release, we give training on how to hold space for your client when this happens but you do need to have a level of compassion to put your client at ease.
Some people learn this treatment to use on their partners and family, and some people wish to learn for working with the public, you will need at least 3 case studies to work on, it's a good idea to make sure you can find these models before committing to the course.
How do I get clients after I qualify?
If you are new to this field of work and you don't have a client list it is something to take into consideration if you are looking to make a career out of it. The first base is to ask friends and family to be case studies for you, ask them for feedback, and for them to recommend you to their friends, social media is a great way to get business and for free, we will provide you with professional images and pre-written text for you to use. You will also have the opportunity to be added to our website and referral system.
Can I use the Harmony branding?
You will have access to a library of videos, images, and text adverts to use. You cannot call yourself The Harmony Massage® as your business name but you can brand yourself as The Harmony Massage By…… (your name). You will be advertising the Harmony Massage as a treatment offered under your business name. We expect a level of professionalism from our therapists as they are an extension of our brand. If the ethics are breached we reserve the right to ask you to stop using the brand name.
We have trademarked the name Harmony Massage® and Harmony Crystal Facial ® so you can only use it as a subsection in your treatment menu and must be presented with the ® symbol in our styling and colour. You will have access to this template in your marketing section on the platform.
How many hours does the online training take?
Allow up to 6hrs for the theory content. The online videos are just under 4hrs of running time however you will watch each video at your own pace, pausing to practice each move, depending on your speed of learning this could be anything from 20hrs upwards.

Is online training enough to qualify?
Our online training is very in-depth, it has everything you need to learn the treatment and carry it out at a professional standard. Before you gain the certification you will need to complete case studies and undergo an online zoom assessment. During this assessment, the team will observe you as you carry out the full treatment from consultation to finish. This allows them to ensure that you have grasped all aspects of the treatment and can perform it effectively.
If you have any problems or questions these will be addressed by one of the team, either by email or with a pre-booked interactive call. We do recommend where possible that you attend the hands-on training so that you can experience the treatment and moves yourself and we can fine-tune your techniques.
Will I receive the same qualification as Hands-on training if I train online?
Yes. Once you have completed your case studies and passed your assessment (which can also be done online).
How much is the Assessment?
The first online and in person assessment day is free of charge. Any next attempt we charge £90 per assessment. We would assess you in our clinic in Canterbury however it is possible for us to come to your own workplace. Travel expenses might apply. You will be assessed by both co-founders.
