To avoid confusion with the regulatory boards of the massage profession Elevate Massage Training uses the term endorsement instead of certification to describe the credential granted to licensed massage therapists who complete all the requirements of our advanced track of study.

Our endorsement program is assessment-based. This means that there are no annual fees or recertification requirements. We will teach you a set of skills then assess your proficiency through one-on-one evaluations and community interaction.

Every course focuses on :

• a logical sequence of techniques for the entire body (Seated Ashiatsu is upper body only)

• the fundamentals of gravity-assisted bodywork 

• practitioner body mechanics and barefoot touch accuracy

• general principles for giving a balanced and flowing ashiatsu session with a meditative state of mind

To earn Elevate Thai Massage Endorsement students must :

• complete all five immersion weeks

• receive and review three sessions from approved ashiatsu practitioners

• attend a performance review

Benefits of completing the 200hr Mat Track :

• Confidence in using ashiatsu to customize sessions to meet the individual needs of your clients

• A professional reputation upgrade as an ashiatsu specialist

• A certificate for framing and displaying your credentials

• Advanced notice on new courses, study trips and retreats

• An optional listing on our therapist directory with link exchange

• Community support and networking for your practice

• Mentorship and possible teach assist opportunities
