Well, I am Brazilian – in the region where I lived in Brazil, massage
 has a big value, in addition to relaxing benefits, there is a lot of work with
 aesthetic benefits too, for the treatment of cellulite even post-operative.
Today I am 45 years old but since I was 20 I already allowed myself
 to win this gift that was to be massaged.
 Mainly for lymph massage. So the massage has been with me
 for a long time.
12 years ago I moved to Holland and I
 realized that the practice here was not so
 common yet, (for me, being massaged and like
 going to the hairdress to cut my hair, it was almost a necessity).
As I have been working in the office for 23 years, lately
 I have been feeling like it is not healthy to sit 8 hours a
 day behind the computer.
I feel pain in my shoulders, arms.
 My husband and I work together in the same company and
 at the end of the day I had a sick husband with so much pain and
 bad humor.
So I started looking for the chance to learn how to massage, to
 take care of my husband.
 I previously paid for the LOI course online, but I
 had a lot of difficulties, because I had a DVD., it was not so pratical to me.
I believe that for other people it is quite good., but unfortunately
 for me it did not work. I started researching via the internet
 and found Therapeutisch Opleidingscentrum Kersten – it was ideal for me, a
 course with explanatory and videos that I could turn on my cell phone and
 massage my husband or my friends wherever I was.
And so I did, I started to massage my husband and he was very happy.
 So I had the habit of welcoming my friends home on Fridays, so I got together, I did some
 brazilian cocktails and my friends could talk abouot their own problems with
 children, husband, work etc, in the end then I did a short massage to
 them and that was our best day of the week.
 Talking, smiling, drinking, hugs and getting a massage was all my
 friends wanted. So I became the masseuse of the group, but
 what I realized is that the fact that my friends feel good, I also felt very well,
 from my precious hands came the feeling of well-being, it was like a gift for them,
I felt proud of myself.
And more and more I wanted to deepen my
 knowledge of massage to give well-being to other massage my friends
 people as well. But as I still work in the office, my time is
 short to go to normal school, so online courses are the perfect
 combination for me.
My husband has already decorated a room
 exclusively so I can and
 others who need it.
I know I have a lot to learn but I am very satisfied with the result, and
 my dream of the future can definitely change the office work
 to have my own space and provide moments of relaxation, aesthetics,
 through massage.
At this moment in the corona, I think it is essential that
 people to find a mental balance
 (with so many uncertainties that we are experiencing at the moment) and
 through massages and meditation etc, we can find that balance easier.
And here in the Netherlands there is still a big market to be explored,
 I see many possibilities to grow professionally, to be independent and
 to work on my own time.
I would also like to take the following courses.:
Intuitive development & magnetization
Meditate & provide meditation lessons
I will be very happy if my letter be on your website. 😉
Thank you very much.
Alvanete Ferreira.
