Diploma of Remedial Massage Student Testimonials

Mish

The Diploma of Remedial Massage at Demi International is the most well-rounded, engaging and practical courses I have ever had the pleasure of completing. I knew from a young age that I always wanted to complete a massage course, yet I had no idea it was going to be remedial. Not only am I now more knowledgeable on the anatomy of the body and how muscles function, but this course has also given me a range of different techniques to treat a variety of different muscles and conditions. I highly recommend completing this course.

Morgan Harris
Remedial Massage Therapist

I have always wanted a career in sports medicine I just didn’t know where to start. Demi International helped me to get my foot in the door, by enrolling in the Certificate of Massage therapy that they offer. After falling in love with the concept I progressed and continued on to do the Diploma of Remedial Massage through Demi also. My teacher Seonaid Boyle was encouraging, supportive and always positive throughout my entire journey. I am certain I wouldn’t have found something I love to do as much as Remedial Massage without her help and the Directors of Demi International. If you are wanting to do something fun, active and rewarding I absolutely recommend this course, you will not be disappointed.

Selina McGaffin
Graduated Diploma in Beauty Therapy

I really loved my time at Demi International, Ann and the Teachers were just amazing and professional. It had been well over 20 years since I last studied and the class’s and materials where just so easy to understand and the quality was just outstanding. Since qualifying from Demi International I have worked in some Fantastic well-known Spa’s including RACV and Endota Spa. Thanks to Ann and the Teachers at Demi International you are just all AMAZING, I would not be where I am today without all you.

tony stevens remedial massage trainer demi international chermside

Tony Logan-Stevens

I am so excited to be teaching the Remedial Massage Diploma because I am passionate about helping to develop the next generation of Remedial Therapists. I trained at a time where there was much focus on holistic care, with attention to the connection and inter-dependency across the Mind, Body & Spirit.

I want to take that philosophy – blend it with my experiences from the last 20 years – and share that with students to help them become all they can be in this great industry.
