Success stories
Read inspiring stories from people who have transformed their lives through our programs:
Emmet traveled from Ireland to Amsterdam for six weekends to learn massage, transforming his health and mindset.
“I was 101 kilos, had constant back and neck pain, and felt emotionally down. Now, I’m pain-free, 17 kilos lighter, and happier than ever.”
Rokya transitioned from an office job to a successful massage therapy career, all through online learning.
“I now work only 4 hours a day, doing what I love. Helping others feel better is so rewarding, and I have time for fun hobbies like aerial acrobatics!”
Shaun began learning massage at 56, exhausted from his desk job. It transformed his life—he even looks younger.
“I feel stronger and healthier than I did 30 years ago. My friends didn’t recognize me—I had to say, ‘Yes, it’s really me!’”
Marike started learning massage because it helped her feel less worried. After each massage, she felt relaxed and energized, which inspired her to share that feeling with others. When she began working as a massage therapist and teacher, she experienced something amazing:
“For the first time in my life, I thought, ‘Wow, a job can be fun! A job can give me positive energy.'”
Louiza traveled from Cyprus to study massage in Amsterdam and ended up healing her entire family.
“While practicing on my family, I relieved my sister’s chronic constipation, stopped my other sister’s migraines, helped my father relax, and my mother avoided surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. Now, I’ve opened my own practice and love my work.”
Rita battled pain, fatigue, and depression by learning massage. The first class was tough but life-changing; she found renewed energy, purpose, and joy. Now, as a massage therapist and teacher, she helps others with stress and pain, spreading positivity and relief:
“Giving massages clears my mind, providing a wonderful sense of relief. I feel much more positive overall! Even on tough days, knowing I can make a difference when I massage someone gives me strength!”
Hannah found a new way to relax her body and mind through learning Nuad Thai Massage. As a professional dancer and choreographer, it helps her unwind after intense dance rehearsals and long days of computer work. Now, she’s on a mission to bring Nuad Thai Massage into dance academies, teaching fellow dancers how it can prevent injuries and improve both physical and mental well-being:
“It’s not just about relaxation; it’s about taking care of yourself as a whole.“
