We offer a wide range of training in biomechanical approach and energy approach. To register for a professional program, you must have completed an introductory course.
Kinetic Swedish Massage® is a biomechanical technique that considers the person in motion. The program prepares the future massage professional to help clients presenting with a specific musculoskeletal problem or showing a high level of stress.
Californian massage is a technique in which the massage therapist learns to focus, to breathe consciously and to relax. This brings about an emotional freedom or awareness that promotes a natural release of tensions. The massage therapist focuses on all areas of the body. By stimulating the well-being of healthy areas, their radiation has a beneficial effect on the affected areas. The long effleurage movements with enveloping sliding pressures sculpt the body to create unity where energy circulates freely. Passive contacts and mobilizations lead the person to welcome oneself home and to let go.
Shiatsu is an energetic approach that aims to ensure the proper circulation of vital energy in the body, mainly in the network of meridians. This network monitor various physiological and psychological functions. An energy imbalance thus leads to pathology, both in the body and in the mind. To this extent, shiatsu goes beyond simple massage and is intended as a form of prevention and relief from various ailments. It is performed through pressure, mobilization and stretching on the recipient’s body.
Polarity is an energetic approach that seeks a comprehensive health system to take care of the person in all its dimensions: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Understanding this energy and knowing the network paths allows us to act on imbalances to restore optimal circulation and thus promote a return to health. By means of light, medium, and deep pressures, polarity interconnects specific points by acting on energetic currents and magnetic poles.
Massokinesitherapy is a 2nd level biomechanical training in direct continuity with that of Swedish massage. It aims to develop a deep understanding of the osteoarticular system and its ability to assess and prevent various biomechanical problems present in the client. The training also allows the student to learn to answer the client’s questions or advise him on various aspects relating to lifestyle habits (physical exercise, healthy eating, etc.).
Sports massage is a biomechanical approach that addresses all the situations that may arise in a sports context. It allows to act efficiently and quickly in a specific sport situation with an appropriate strategy for the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries.
The basic structure of each professional training in massage therapy is:
The common core courses are theory courses which are mandatory to complete any basic massage therapy technique. The courses offered are Helping Relationships, Professional Supervision and Sexuality and Professional Practice.
The objective of these courses is to know and understand the person and to know how to communicate in an appropriate way. The training covers the basics of effective communication while considering the stage of development the client is in. To ensure student success in the job market, socio-economic, political, and ethical issues will also be discussed, making them ready for a most promising professional future.
Finally, the student is made aware of the concrete problems related to sexuality that he may encounter in his professional practice. He is led to become more aware of the distinction between sexuality, emotions, touch, intimacy, and nudity, to clarify the purpose, context, and boundaries of his massage work and to reflect on his personal values regarding sexuality.
To meet the needs of each student, we offer programs in several modalities: intensive (3 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.), weekends (two Saturdays and Sundays per month, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 30) and evenings (3 evenings per week from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.).

Since June 30, 2017, international students wishing to study in Quebec in a training program lasting more than 6 months must be admitted or registered in a designated educational institution, a recognized institution, that is by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education or another Quebec Ministry, to be able to apply for temporary selection for studies and a study permit from the federal government. None of our institutes are recognized by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, which is why it will be impossible for you to study there as an international student in a program lasting more than 6 months.
