Massage for Beginners: A Hands-On Workshop in Edmonton & Calgary
Thinking about a career in massage therapy? Or just want to give a great relaxation massage to friends and family? Our two-day beginner workshop is the safe, supportive place to start.
You’ll learn basic strokes, draping, and a full relaxation sequence—taught by a Vicars instructor. No experience needed.
How will Massage for Beginners help me?
Massage for Beginners is a hands-on introduction to the world of massage. During this two-day interactive workshop, a Vicars instructor will teach you the strokes and sequences for a full relaxation massage, as well as some of the science behind it.
The workshop gets rave reviews from anyone who wants a short, safe introduction to massage, who wants to learn the basics of massage to work on friends and family members, and to guarantee that they’ll be the most popular person at the next family reunion.
Get a head start
It also pays dividends as a preview of what it’s really like to attend massage school and build a massage career. Our instructors tell us they can see the difference in the first few classes between those who have taken the workshop and those who haven’t.
When RMT students first begin hands-on work, everyone is nervous about getting on and off the table and staying draped, touching, and being touched. Those who have been to a workshop are prepared and confident and eager to build on what they have learned.
Start the school year with confidence
Massage for Beginners is the best way to be secure about your decision. And if you come away from the workshop feeling like massage therapy isn’t for you after all, that’s just as valuable. Massage is not the career for everyone. No ethical massage school wants to enroll students who are not going to thrive!
