Holistic Health Training is a massage school at 33 Mahana School Rd in Dovedale, in the Tasman district, with a 5.0 Google rating.
A good massage school teaches both the hands-on skills and the knowledge behind them, including anatomy, how to assess a client, when massage is not appropriate and how to keep clients safe and comfortable. If you are thinking of training, ask which qualification you will receive, how it is recognised, how many hours are spent practising on real people and whether the course suits your goals, whether that is a new career or personal learning. Find out how long the course runs, how it is assessed and what you will need to buy. Regulars, meaning past students, often say that regular practice outside class and a good teacher make the biggest difference. It also helps to ask what work or further study graduates go on to.
Dovedale is a small rural settlement in the Tasman district, so this school suits students from the Motueka and Nelson area who prefer a country setting.
