How to apply?
Questions?
No. However, a basic knowledge on human anatomy is recommended.
The cost will be €650 per person provided you chosen the 6-day intensive.
Yes. To keep it simple, if for example you live in Alentejo or the Algarve I will only offer the course as a 6-day intensive and NOT over 3 weekends.
I want to make this course more available to more people. And by that I mean, more affordable. All I need is a minimum of 2 participants and a clean, quiet space. To be able to do it in the comfort of your home means NO extra cost for a venue, meals, travel(for you). And, this means a flexible schedule.
As soon as there is a second participant in your area, the course can start as soon as possible.
If you bring someone to join, you will get a discount on the course fee. This is incentive to you so we can start as soon as possible.
About Greg Hickman
Hi, I’m Greg Hickman, originally from South Africa and now based in Central Portugal. My deep passion for the human body and its energetic flow led me to pursue bodywork and massage. After completing a 165-hour Professional Thai Massage course at the Wat Pho and Chetawan School in Thailand, I gained the knowledge to help people release tension, heal, and restore balance.
I believe massage can transform the body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, or simply looking to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to help you unlock your body’s full potential.
I genuinely care about your well-being. Every human being is different and so is every human body. My approach is not about providing a one fits all treatment, but about creating a partnership with my clients, to ensure an experience tailored to your uniqueness and your bodies needs.
