Post training requirements

We can arrange two calls within this 5 week period. I recommend one after 2 weeks and the second on the 4th or 5th week practice.

About Erica, your trainer

My method of massage training is a freestyle signature wellness technique with a sports, and holistic element to each treatment. Each massage is customised for your clients requirements.

My experience has been obtained at home and abroad in America, Australia, and Canada where I specialised in various massage trainings to improve my technique. Upon returning home, I created my own signature technique by adding my own touch to what I had learned making it an individual style I felt my clients would benefit from the most. I best advise you to gain the most amount of experience early in your career so you can best tailor each treatment to all your future clients.
