That being said, if you put in the practice, we are confident you will be able to give massage treatments.

Of course you don’t have to change your career if you don’t want to. It is up to you. Many of our students enroll to this program because they want to learn Nuad Thai Massage, without the intention to make a career out of it. However, most of our massage students do want to work as a massage therapist.
The Nuad Thai Massage course trains you to become a Nuad Thai Massage Therapist – all round. That is, after completing the training, participants can work as a Thai yoga massage therapist on the mat and on the table, deep tissue & sports massage therapist, foot reflexology massage therapist and chair massage therapist.
For example, many of our successful students find a job immediately after the training or during the training as a chair masseur at companies and by appointment at home, in a massage parlor, Spa, hotel or sauna, at a physiotherapist, health center, gym, yoga studio, wellness center or a beautician. In addition, a large part of our successful students set up their own massage company.
We have seen an increasing demand for Nuad Thai massage therapists in recent years and research shows that this demand will continue to grow. More and more people book massage treatments to treat and prevent health problems. This mainly concerns neck pain, back pain, RSI, headache, knee pain, fatigue, burn-out complaints, etc. that are caused by too little exercise, stress and long working hours on computers, tablets, etc.
ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam is regularly looking for new employees and we also connect our graduate therapists with centers and practices that approach us because they have vacancies. In addition, we guide our students in setting up their own massage company so that they can work as an independent massage therapist.
If you are serious about learning Nuad Thai massage, then you can find a job. We see this happen all the time with our graduates. Of course, we cannot guarantee you a job, just as a university degree, for example, does not guarantee you work either. ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam regularly seeks new employees and we also connect our graduate therapists with centers and practices who have vacancies. We see a growing demand for Nuad Thai Masseurs and believe that this demand will continue to grow. So our graduates should be able to find a job quite easily.

All classes are taught in English, including the didactic material. But if you have a problem with the language, we also speak Dutch and Spanish. Our students come from different countries. Some have English as their mother tongue, but most have English as a second or third language. Our students have never had a problem with the language, even if their English is very basic. Nuad Thai massage is traditionally taught and learned by feeling and looking – so English is not essential, but only makes it easier to learn.

Over the years we have taught more than 10,000 people worldwide and professionally trained 600+ therapists in the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Germany and Thailand.

ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam was founded by Manuel Luque Aguilera and Nicole van Zurk.
We both come from professional corporate backgrounds and understand the stresses that come with professional careers well.
We found the benefits of Thai massage while searching for a solution for our own physical ailments.
Captivated by this preventive and therapeutic technique we decided to leave our jobs, learn more about Thai massage in Thailand and eventually teach this technique to our students.
Our unique teaching method ensures that you also experience the health benefits of massage during the classes. Many of our students heal their burnout, back pain, headaches and stress simply by taking the massage classes and experiencing the benefits of Nuad Thai massage themselves.
