FREELANCE THERAPIST COURSE

I used to work as a caregiver. I hurt my back and started going to massages. I went to various places such as chiropractors, chiropractors, and orthopedic clinics. Then I came across Thai massage. On the first day I received it, my body felt very comfortable and I was impressed that there was such a wonderful massage. And I felt strongly that if I was going to take it anyway, I wanted to learn and memorize it myself. I think it was "special news!" I sympathized with the philosophy and way of thinking as a school, and I had already decided to enter this school at the stage of the homepage! The thing that surprised me the most after entering school was that my stiff shoulders were completely gone! Metabolism has also increased and the lines of the face have become sharp. This has been recognized by my family and instructors, so I'm sure there's no doubt about it (laughs). Everyone will get along. Now, I have made my debut as a therapist at the group's salon, and I am doing my best to balance school and work. For those who are thinking of starting a career in this industry, I would recommend it because you can hone your skills at the school while working at a salon. In the future, I'm thinking of becoming independent on my own, working on business trips and having a home salon.

When I turned 25, I looked back on my life up until now and seriously thought about how I should proceed with my life. I've done a lot of things, but I've been biased toward massage-related work because I feel that if it's a job that makes people happy, it will be my life's sustenance. Originally, I liked massage itself, but when I was tired and exhausted, I was healed by a single word "thank you". Now From there, I did a lot of research. I gathered information by talking to people involved in massage, and I became interested in traditional Thai massage, which includes stretching, in addition to ordinary shiatsu. It feels great not only to be pushed, but to have your whole body stretched out. I got the opportunity to participate in a hands-on seminar at the Nuad Bo Rang School in Japan. If I'm going to learn anyway, I want to push myself up to a level where I can open a business. With that in mind, I chose this school, which not only teaches techniques, but also teaches you how to start a business. What surprised me most about the experience seminar was how close the distance between the students and teachers was, and how at home they felt. With this, I feel like I can ask immediately if I don't understand something, and the students are very friendly with each other. At that time, I actually had the opportunity to become a model and receive treatment, and I thought it would be great. I'm still studying, so my future plans are undecided, but I hope to acquire a wide range of skills and start my own business.

I have always been interested in massage. I thought that if I was going to study anyway, it would be important to choose a school that would allow me to work in the future. Especially if it's a traditional Thai massage! I didn't have such a strong feeling, but I had a longing for Ishigaki Island, and when I thought about moving there in the future, the most popular job for a traditional Thai massage therapist was Thai traditional massage therapist. It was the reason I fell in love with massage. I searched for a traditional Thai massage school on the Internet and went to various tours, but this Japanese Nuad Bo Rang school had an overwhelmingly good atmosphere, so I decided. As an official school of the TTMA Japan Traditional Thai Massage Association, one of the attractions was that we received requests for job offers from all over the country. When I actually try it, I find myself here now who is deeply absorbed in it. It's good that there is no shyness in the class, in a good way. You can enjoy taking classes, and there is a lively atmosphere that makes it easy for even first-timers to make friends. The content is very easy to understand. However, in order to make sure that the techniques you have learned are your own, it is important to review them.

I've always wanted to do relaxation work and was wondering which of the wide variety would suit me best. When I looked at my future life from a long-term perspective, I thought that it would be a definite step up for myself to live with a job. After you got married, did the way you think about your family and people around you change? When something happens to a close person, I want to do something. I began to feel sorry for myself for not being able to do anything. First of all, I wanted to actually receive a traditional Thai massage, so I searched on the Internet and received it at a salon linked by the Japan Traditional Thai Massage Association, which was my first encounter. To be honest, there was a time when I couldn't get it out of my head because of the depth of the Thai tradition. I actually came to visit this school and listened to the story before deciding. Since it is an official school of the TTMA Japan Traditional Thai Massage Association, I was able to recognize that I could get the most major qualification here in Japan as a sure feeling of security. When I compared it with other schools, the Thai school, where you can get a certificate of completion in a short-term course of about 5 days, may be easier because you can graduate easily, but conversely, only the skills are on the surface. Even if they teach me technically, if I can't use the techniques afterward, I'll end up losing out, so I wanted Japanese people to teach me the fine nuances. The decisive factor was the phrase “What you can do is different from what you can teach”, which is also the theme here. (Laughs) After entering the university, I started taking actual classes, and if I had to evaluate the school again, I would say that the atmosphere is good and it is an environment where you can feel free to ask questions. Not only the points to press when massaging, but also the dangerous parts are properly taught. In addition, they also tell me how dangerous things are, so I can attend classes with peace of mind. The teachers are very friendly and look after me no matter what, and the environment where I can feel free to ask questions has also led to an increase in my own motivation. When I was considering admission, I considered going from the basic course to the advanced advanced course in the specialized course, but I chose the general course because I could receive advice and career counseling for the future. In the future, I would like to open my own practice at home and provide massage to people who do not have the opportunity to do so, including business trip visits. Until then, I'm thinking of a flow of acquiring skills and gaining experience at the group's salon. I think that such things are possible only with the FREELANCE THERAPIST COURSE.
