how long does it take to learn lomi lomi in order to offer the massage professionally?
i am living in berlin and i am interested to work in some berlin spas as a wellness masseur. i have experience working in a yoga studio that also offered massage as well as years massaging from home.
i am looking at massage courses in berlin that will give me formal training and a certificate. they have a 6 day intensive massage and wellness course that they offer that will teach a number of different styles. i am surprised that all of these programs are so short.
there is a 5 day intensive massage therapist course that differs from wellness therapist that they also recommend i take.
they also offer a deep tissue course that is a weekend long.
there is also a school that offers lomo lomi in 3 modules. each module is 3 days long. so in 3 modules i would learn beginning to advanced. essentially 9 days in total. is this legit?
are these appropriate amount of times it takes for one to learn these styles in order to be prepared to work in welness and spa settings as a masseur?
the lomi lomi courses are (in euros) 680 each. the 6 day wellness therapist course is 1050. the 5 day massage therapist course is 950 and the deep tissue weekend is like 380.
I'm used to in the states they have longer massage school programs but here it seems to be a bit different especially since i want to go more in the wellness branch and not medical. i don't want to waste time or money. i also don't want to take these courses expecting i will be prepared and qualified to find work and be good at it but maybe these will be just what i need?
i need advice from others. please be kind! thank you very much.
