Is it hard to make a living as a massage therapist in london?

Question

I am 28 years old and have always been interested in complementary medicine especially massage. I would be most grateful if anyone can give me some information about courses i should take and how easy it will be to get work afterwards, either in a clinic or privately. Also, i would like to know how viable it will be as a way of making a living. I would appreciate any help or advice that anyone can offer. Thank you kindly.

Answer 1

In the US, most massage therapists can make a living only by being aligned with a clinic, spa, salon, or other such facility.  There are surprisingly few resources to be found for trainings and job openings in the field in the UK, but the following may be promising to give you more specifics on the coursework, certifications, and post-graduate placement opportunities:
