Personal Hygiene
Personal hygiene and cleanliness are essential for massage therapists as we work closely together during training. The best practice is to shower before and after the work day. Wash your hands and feet before and after each massage session. Wet baby wipes are handy but use sparingly. Nails should be kept short with smooth edges, using an appropriate nail file. Be careful not to cut them too fast, too short or too close to the skin, which will lead to discomfort when massaging.
Covid-19 Update
We follow the measures of the local authorities.
Vaccination is not necessary.
Ventilation of the training room is performed.
Good hand hygiene and regular hand washing are required.
The use of masks is left to the discretion of each participant.
