In-Person Training

Study Thai massage in-person at Sirius Health School, with direct instructor feedback, structured practice, and online resources.

Hands-On Learning At Sirius Health

In-person Thai massage training offers something online lessons can’t match: hands-on correction, partner practice, immediate feedback on pressure, coaching on body mechanics, and live demonstrations from multiple angles.

Certification Courses And Continuing Education

Sirius Health School offers two types of in-person training. The five-level certification program is designed for students who want a structured path to Thai massage certification. The advanced and Lanna/specialty courses, on the other hand, are continuing education options tailored for those looking to refine specific skills, pursue professional growth, and expand their Thai massage techniques.

All in-person courses provide Continuing Education Credits. However, it’s important to note that only the five certification levels lead to Thai massage certification. The other courses enhance your expertise but do not replace the certification pathway.

Why Study Thai Massage In Person?

Thai massage is physical, interactive, and adaptable. Students need to observe the technique, listen to detailed explanations, experience the right amount of pressure, consider client comfort, and practice transitioning smoothly between positions with steady, controlled movements.

In-person training enhances this process with real-time feedback and hands-on partner practice. It also fosters a learning community, allowing students to share insights, work with diverse body types, and build confidence before practicing independently.

1. Watch live demonstrations

See how each technique is shaped, paced and adapted for safety.

2. Practise with feedback

Correct pressure, angle, posture, rhythm, and transitions during the lesson.

3. Ask questions immediately

Resolve confusion before awkward habits become automatic.

4. Review online after class

Use online resources to reinforce what you learned on the mat.

Certification Intakes

The five certification levels are available twice a year. One session starts in the fall, and the other begins after the holiday season. This schedule allows students to progress through the professional Thai massage training program in a consistent, structured manner.

Students aiming for certification should plan in advance and enroll in the right session to ensure each level builds on the last.

Courses By Demand

Advanced and Lanna/specialty courses are available on demand. These courses are an excellent choice for working therapists, returning students, bodyworkers, and movement professionals seeking targeted skills without committing to the full certification program.

Each course offers Continuing Education Credits and features consistent pricing, making it straightforward to select the modality that aligns best with your professional goals and practice needs.

In-person training is where Thai massage moves from information into body memory: students see it, feel it, practise it, correct it and learn how to care for real people with confidence.

CREDITS AND CERTIFICATION

Know What Each Course Counts Toward

Certification Levels: NHPC Certification

The five-level certification pathway is designed for students seeking Thai massage certification. Advanced and specialty CE courses don’t replace certification levels.

Levels 1 through 5 build gradually, starting with foundational skills and leading into hands-on practice.
Certification courses are offered twice a year.
Students should complete successive levels to stay on track.

All Courses: CE Credits

Every in-person course is crafted to foster ongoing professional growth. Students earn Continuing Education Credits for certification levels, advanced training, and Lanna/specialty programs.

Beneficial for therapists tracking progress in professional education.
Ideal for returning students seeking fresh techniques without retaking an entire program.

In-Person Training With Online Support

Students gain access to online course materials, ensuring the learning experience extends beyond the classroom. These resources allow students to review demonstrations, revisit explanations, check sequences, and practice at their own pace between sessions.

This approach works especially well for Thai massage. Hands-on training provides touch, feedback, and real-time correction, while online tools offer repetition, flexibility, and long-term support.
