Isla Verde Spa Hot Stones Massage Certificate Course (4 CEU) (Udemy.com)

Bit disappointed there was not a lot of hot stone techniques shown and taught, just a bit of a quick glide over with the stones then just a lot of general relaxation and forearm work. I have been working in the industry for over 20 years and was hoping to learn more to add on to what I have done in previous luxury spas but felt disappointed with the minimal techniques shown.

I really enjoyed this course. It gives you a great framework for different lengths of massage, offers music that you can play during massage and it is complemented by instructional videos paired with music that you can play and watch while learning. To make it even better, the course offers resources that help with intake, screening for contraindications and gives helpful suggestions regarding business development. Excellent course - well worth the cost.

I enjoyed the course thoroughly. The material was organized for effective learning. In just under 6 hours, I went from a hot stone novice to having the fundamental techniques and practice to offer this therapy to my clients. I would highly recommend this course to any massage therapist looking to efficiently build their hot stone massage skills.

Yes, I am so happy, I found you. I am 65 years old and looking for a hobby/small career in Relaxation Therapy. I am presently a Chef and have the strength needed in my upper torso. I have already bought my stones and table. Thank you, Patricia May Ontario Canada

Fun, interesting information. nice to know he practices what he preaches as well. Clear videos!!! Understandable information. Loved the anatomy....as a retired nurse I know a bit of A&P, but he put what you need to know in a nutshell. Wish I had found Mark before!!

This was a great course…I really enjoyed it. I questioned how much I would learn online vs in-person, and was pleasantly surprised. Mark is very engaging and describes everything very well, and the videos clearly show the various techniques and how to do them properly. I will definitely be signing up for more courses with Mark.

I took this course to learn about using healing stones for massages and the instructor was informative about all areas of massages. As a visual learner the video on massaging with his voice over was powerful in that he guides the viewer on a proper massage. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to touch up on massages or learning about massages. Thank You

This was an outstanding course I couldn't be more happy with it. Mark is very engaging and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Hot Stones Massage. I will certainly be studying with Mark again.

As a complete beginner to massage therapy, I found this course to be extremely clear and at just the right speed to really get to grips with the techniques Mark demonstrates throughout. The section on essential oils is such a key area and I learnt so much about how and when to use them. Thoroughly recommend this couse, to both absolute beginners as well as practicing message therapists.

Mark is a competent and good teacher ... he not only teaches massage techniques but also the predisposition to massage, the correct posture of the operator and the empathic listening of the client .... I advise everyone to attend his Training Academy at Boquete, or to undergo a massage session ... it will be a unique experience !!!
