Become a professional wellness tantra massage practitioner

You want to be able to touch and accompany people – confidently, with clear guidance and tangible presence. This training is designed precisely for that and for men from across Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I train men who want to bring their natural calm, strength and focus into clean, beneficial bodywork. No show. No complicated theory. Instead, posture, practice and a ritual that holds it all together.


The structure

Four progressive modules await you, with training on your own clients in between – so knowledge turns into steady routine. Throughout the entire period, I’m available for urgent questions via advice by email or phone.


The modules are designed to allow sufficient time. Module 2 is split across two single days (there can be only a short interval between them).


Two self-practice phases are an important learning space. In total you should organise, carry out and document at least 10 massages on your own. Ideally with new clients each time to train flexibility. If that’s difficult, familiar clients are fine. A questionnaire helps you reflect afterwards. We discuss what you experienced in the modules.


Before your certificate you’ll conduct a complete session with me. Afterwards you can deepen variations to work even more freely and precisely.

My path starts here

The start

You’re not getting in touch without reason – there’s a clear impulse you’re taking seriously. The first step is simple: book a massage with me. In the conversation before or after we’ll clarify whether we’re a good fit, what you bring and what your goal is. Then we set the path, without rush and with stress-free planning.


If that speaks to you: let’s do it and let me train you to become a wellness tantra massage practitioner in about three quarters of a year.


Training overview – wellness tantra massage practitioner
Prerequisite:

Module 1
Content:
  • Equipment, room, setting
  • Professional pre-session talk
  • Observation of a complete massage session (with explanations)
  • Debrief with concrete practice notes

You’ll get a comprehensive insight into the structure of a professional wellness tantra massage, including preparation and conversation. I’ll show you the complete flow on a client, from the opening ritual to the debrief.

You’ll experience how a session is led, how stance, presence and grip technique interact, and what structure carries the flow.

During the massage you’ll be present clothed with a towel, observing attentively and taking notes. I’ll explain what matters in each phase.

In the subsequent debrief we’ll clarify open questions and summarise the essentials for your preparation. A handout helps you review and internalise the flow at home.


Module 1: 6 hours (with short breaks and refreshments)


Cost: € 680 (Germany)  |  CHF 960 (Switzerland) *

(Germany: no VAT shown pursuant to § 19 UStG · Switzerland: no VAT shown)



Module 2
Content:
  • Your own hands-on practice on a client
  • Teaching of touch and grip techniques
  • Guidance and correction during application
  • Debrief

After observing, you’ll move into practice yourself. Over two days I’ll show you the individual techniques, explain the structure of touches and accompany you while you apply them on a client. You’ll learn to guide the massage calmly, create clear transitions and stay alert and respectful in contact.

During the session I’ll give you direct feedback on stance, grip quality and flow. Your confidence grows step by step – the ritual begins to anchor in you.

The debrief helps reflect on your experience and set the next practice steps.

For men travelling from further afield, reserving a weekend with hotel accommodation is recommended.


Module 2: 12 hours (with short breaks and refreshments)

Module 2a: 6 hours (slow, gentle full-body massage)

Module 2b: 6 hours (more energetic full-body oil massage)


Cost: € 1,360 (Germany)  |  CHF 1,920 (Switzerland) *

(Germany: no VAT shown pursuant to § 19 UStG · Switzerland: no VAT shown)


5 of your own documented massages

Module 3
Content:
  • Reflection on the documented massages
  • Complete accompanied massage on an unfamiliar client
  • Debrief

We’ll take time to discuss your massage experience so far and the questions that arose. In this module you’ll carry out a complete massage independently. The client is unfamiliar to you – a realistic and valuable practice setting. I’ll be a silent observer and only intervene if useful.

After the session you’ll receive detailed feedback: on your presence, grips, flow and what you’re already doing confidently. An external eye helps you recognise routines, see blind spots and refine your own style. This module is a decisive step on your way to professional practice.

5 of your own documented massages

Module 4
Content:
  • Reflecting on your massages and clarifying questions
  • Complete massage ritual on me
  • Feedback & debrief with status review

After a further 10 massages and discussion, you’ll finally apply what you’ve learned in a full session on me personally. You’ll conduct the entire ritual independently: from greeting through the massage to the debrief.

I’ll experience the session as the client and then give you detailed feedback on your presence, guidance, grip strength, attentiveness and your ability to hold the space. This module shows how far you’ve come – and gives you confidence to accompany clients independently and safely in future.

On completion of the entire private training you’ll receive a certificate of attendance for the training in the field of “wellness tantra massage” and may call yourself a trained wellness tantra massage practitioner.


Module 4: 6 hours (with short breaks and refreshments)


Cost: € 680 (Germany)  |  CHF 960 (Switzerland)*

(Germany: no VAT shown pursuant to § 19 UStG · Switzerland: no VAT shown)

Extension
Content:
  • Variations of touch patterns
  • Fine-tuning of tempo, pressure & rhythm
  • Debrief with individual practice notes

If you want to continue after completing the training, you can deepen your work with this extension. Every massage is different – people bring different energies, expectations and physical conditions.

Here you’ll learn to be bolder and to vary freely within the framework: how to respond to different clients, when to change tempo or grip strength and how to refine your perception further.

I’ll show you variants on the client, explain the background and accompany you while you try them yourself. Your care becomes more client-centred, freer and more vibrant.

* My work keeps a fair balance for men from Germany and Switzerland. Different living costs and price levels lead to different wages and conditions in both countries. Pricing takes this into account so the value of my work feels the same for everyone. This keeps things fair, regardless of which country you come from.

Frequently asked questions about tantra massage training in Freiburg

May I call myself a masseur afterwards?

No. The job title “masseur” is legally protected in the Federal Republic of Germany when the activity is in healthcare based on medical or health-professional practice. Instead, you can call yourself a “wellness tantra massage practitioner”.

Over what period can I complete the training?

There’s no fixed schedule. However, it’s advisable to keep at it and put what you’ve learned into practice within around three quarters of a year. That way theory and practice, our conversations, reflection and your first hands-on experiences as a practitioner interlink ideally.

Can I bring a friend to be massaged?

You can. If you don’t have someone to bring, I can also provide a client for you to learn with.

Do you offer instalments for the training?

Yes. You can pay in interest-free instalments. On the Instalments page you’ll find all the details.

How many instalments are possible?

By default 3, 6 and 9 monthly instalments (interest-free) are possible. Alternatively, a single payment is possible.

I’m still young and don’t have much life experience. Can I still become a good practitioner?

I recommend first experiencing your own massages as a client. Your life experience can grow tremendously through the training, and you’ll be enabled to mature in your task and get better and better.
