Description
Introduction
This course is unlike most other Body massage courses as it provides a comprehensive learning experience.
This course provides students with all the knowledge underpinning practice to ensure that they are industry ready. This course requires students to provide body massage to volunteer clients which creates their case study element of the course. This aligns with the traditional in class approaches utilised by most colleges in England, UK, and which is set as a gold standard of learning, however the variation is all learning is online. This course is a pre-requisite to Deborah's Aromatherapy and hot stone massage.
With almost 10 hours of online content, supportive reading material and a supportive group, students gain a level of knowledge that prepares them to launch themselves into a professional career providing service to customers and clients.
The big bonus is that though the course is 'not accredited' Deborah's professional diploma is accepted by her insuring partner which enables students to gain, if they wish, insurance to cover them for their private clinical business and includes access to their membership group.
Body massage therapy is a therapeutic practice that involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments, to promote relaxation, improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being.
Key Benefits:

Pain Relief: Alleviates muscle tension, chronic pain, and soreness.
Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
Injury Recovery: Supports rehabilitation of injuries and reduces scar tissue.
Increased Flexibility: Improves range of motion in joints and muscles.
Common Types of Massage:

Deep Tissue Massage: Focuses on deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic pain.
Sports Massage: Targets muscle groups used in athletic activities to enhance performance and recovery.

Deborah Casey, Founder of Calm Oasis Holistic Therapy, a fully Qualified & Insured Reiki Master Teacher, Massage Therapist, and Holistic Educator
I’m Deborah Casey, founder and lead instructor of Calm Oasis Holistic Therapy. With almost 30 years of hands-on experience as a qualified and insured massage therapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and holistic practitioner, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering others through natural healing, therapeutic practice, and accessible education.
My journey into holistic therapy began with a deeply personal mission—to help my eldest son heal from severe childhood eczema when conventional treatments offered little relief. That early success with natural methods inspired my lifelong commitment to holistic health. I went on to build a clinical practice, supporting private clients with therapeutic treatments and personalised care.
Over time, I expanded my focus to course creation, driven by a passion to make professional holistic training accessible to people across the globe. My online courses are designed to empower international students with real-world skills, professional insights, and natural approaches to wellness.
To support your professional journey, I’ve partnered with a recognised UK insurance provider who accepts my qualifications—giving you the option to gain insurance and practice professionally in a private clinical setting (where permitted).
My mission is simple yet powerful: to be useful. Specifically, to:
Provide inclusive, high-quality learning opportunities internationally
Deliver affordable, flexible, and independent learning experiences
Promote natural therapies as accessible, everyday wellness tools
Encourage the growth of ethical holistic businesses in Aromatherapy, Massage, Reiki, and energy therapies
Offer community-based treatment services that support sustainable, healthy living
At Calm Oasis Holistic Therapy, I teach from experience—with clarity, compassion, and a deep understanding of the healing journey. Whether you're starting a new career, building a wellness business, or simply embracing holistic living, my courses will give you the tools and confidence to move forward.
Join thousands of students from around the world and begin your journey into holistic wellness today. I look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
In advance of enrolling onto any of my courses I wish to thank you, but even if you choose not to then thank you for checking out my profile, I appreciate that you took time to look. Should you take a course or two then I hope you enjoy my offerings and what you learn is of value.
