Question 1

How long does it really take to become a massage therapist?

Accepted Answer

At one class a week, a solid foundation (intro plus three techniques) takes about four months; at twice a week, about two. The planner converts your weekly availability into a week-by-week timeline automatically — the 30/60/90 structure scales to your pace.

Question 2

Do I need a degree or licence in Belgium?

Accepted Answer

For wellness massage (relaxation, sports, spa), no medical degree is required — quality training plus correct business registration is the path. Therapeutic or medical massage is legally reserved for physiotherapists. Always verify current rules with the authorities; our certification guides explain the distinction in detail.

Question 3

How much does the full path cost?

Accepted Answer

The €59 intro plus class packs for three techniques — the planner prices your exact plan live (packs beat singles, roughly 20% at ten classes). Run it twice, once private and once small-group, to compare.

Question 4

Can I keep my job while training?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is what the pace setting is for. Evening and weekend slots run seven days a week, and the side-income path is designed around a day job: train 1–2 times a week, take your first paying sessions before quitting anything.

Question 5

What if I don’t know whether to seek employment or go independent?

Accepted Answer

Choose “not sure yet” — the plan gives you a decision framework with a day-75 deadline, a trial shift to test employment, and a priced private offer to test independence. Then talk it through with Wen, who has done all three.
