Taking an online theory course in anatomy, physiology, business skills, and marketing is okay. Even taking a webinar or an online workshop to sharpen your skills, i.e., " learning how to use your hot stones differently," is alright and fun.


However, learning how to perform any/all forms of massage therapy with a physical person or learning a new technique or skill in massage therapy online is forbidden by industry regulators and global bodies.

If you have completed an online course and are considering retaking a massage course, it's important to note that this may be necessary. The field of massage therapy is constantly evolving, and retaking a course can help you stay updated with the latest techniques and practices. However, this requirement only applies if you have completed the full practical certificate course of the same title in a classroom setting.

We strongly advise those who have done online training to re-do their course through accredited hands-on therapy lecturers at an internationally accredited training provider (not an online accredited course provider).

What are our most popular courses/combos? What are clients looking for when they go for a massage? What does the industry expect from massage professionals? And is there a need for massage?   

With Balancingtouch, you can become a Registered Holistic Therapist when you enrol with us. We will register you with The Guild upon request. Balancingtouch is an accredited training provider through The Guild and a registrar for The Guild of Holistic Therapists.


Your Balancingtouch certification is adequate, but being registered internationally does prove that you have met all global requirements. It is sure validation and global proof that you have had accredited hands-on training through a reputable institution.


Being accredited by International Industry regulators, we must ensure that all who study massage therapy online do not qualify to do massage therapy.

Professional bodies believe that people who practice with only online training cannot be trusted. Massage therapy is a highly skilled hands-on trade requiring hands-on Accredited training and one-on-one guidance.
