Bodywork Beginnings: The Jing Method Basic Massage Course

The Jing journey to become a massage therapist, where do I start? Right here!

What is Bodywork Beginnings? Become a massage therapist in 10 days!

Our introduction to the beautiful world of massage is your first step in becoming a professional massage therapist and the opportunity of a lifetime to change your own life path. If you need a side hustle to find a new and rewarding profession then bodywork is a fantastic option. On this course you will learn a full body massage protocol the Jing way. We teach you how to use your own body mechanics to protect your own body while giving treatments and help answer all your questions about how to start a massage business.

  • 7 days hands on and 3 days of supported self-study at home, working through our online learning resources.
  • The course is delivered in a retreat style in our gorgeous classroom by the sea in beautiful Brighton.
  • The only pre-requisite for joining Bodywork Beginnings is curiosity, passion and a desire to change people’s lives for the better.

You will start your day with a movement class of tai chi, yoga or sports stretching. There will be elements of Eastern and Western Philosophy and sessions of meditation within the massage therapist training. Designed by the internationally celebrated Massage Industry experts Jing Directors Meghan Mari and Rachel Fairweather, there is no other course like it.

It’s not only a time to learn to help others but a time to check in on yourself, your life goals and direction. Jing is a special place to learn.

Before the course:

Try before you buy! Join us for our Introduction to Massage evening workshop before you take the plunge! You can learn more about becoming a massage therapist, give it a go and see how you like it or have a fun and unusual experience with a friend.

These evenings are a few hours, 6pm-9pm, of both being massaged and trying it yourself. Our beautiful classroom in the centre of Brighton is a wonderful place to get on touch with yourself.

It’s a fantastic way to spend an evening – and we’ve had many attendees go on to actually become therapists!
