— For those who finished the Beginner course —

After "that feels nice" comes
reaching the deep layers where it counts.

As a hobby, for someone you love, or maybe one day as work —
any reason is a good reason.
"I want to get better." That feeling is all you need.

YOUR NEXT WISH

Sound familiar?

Targeted back work with the fingers

"I want
real technique"

Move past the beginner basics to massage that genuinely works.

Gentle neck and shoulder work

"I want to massage anyone
with confidence"

Not just people close to you. No hesitation, no guessing, with anyone.

Close-up of the hands at work

"I want to do what I’ve
watched on YouTube"

Stop watching. Start reproducing those exact hands with your own.

If even one of these sounds like you — they can all be answered, in order.

STEP UP

Your next step from where you are

The words you hear from her will change.

Done
STEP 01 · Beginner Course

"Thank you."

Your first full-body massage, and the first time she thanked you for it.

Start here
STEP 02 · Intermediate Course

"That feels amazing."

Confidence with anyone — precise, targeted technique for every body part, plus a 30-minute full-body session.

Beyond
STEP 03 · Advanced Course

"Can I book you again?"

Become the therapist people come back to. Deep-muscle work, complaint-specific technique, and a complete 60-minute session.

Start with STEP 02 — Intermediate. Move up to Advanced when you want more.

COURSE 01 · Intermediate Course

⭐ Start here

Massage anyone with confidence — even someone you just met.

From the beginner’s "somewhere around here" to targeting the exact spot. Learn finger techniques that reach deep, body part by body part.
This is the level working professional therapists in Japan operate at.

01

Pinpoint pressure
with your fingers

Stop relying on palms alone. Learn thumb pressure in the shiatsu lineage — Japan’s signature method — driven by body weight, not arm strength, so it goes deep, exactly where you aim.

02

An answer for every
"right here hurts"

Legs, hips, lower back, neck & shoulders, arms. Learn each body part, and no request catches you off guard. Each area comes as a pair — the method, then a real-time practice run.

03

Build a 30-minute
full-body session

Connect the parts into a complete 30-minute flow, then extend it to 40. The 40-minute session she’ll love is shown twice — explained step by step, then performed in full.

The professional track. For those who finished Intermediate and want to go all the way —
to the level of Japan’s top professionals.

01

Beyond point pressure —
into lines and surfaces

Flowing pressure and Pin & Move: advanced techniques that loosen the deep layer in long lines and broad strokes, for the fatigue that ordinary massage never touches.

02

Adapt to any complaint,
any position

Tired legs, aching lower back, stiff shoulders. Face-down, side-lying, face-up — you’ll have an answer for every body.

03

Client care, the Japanese way
(omotenashi)

Japan’s hospitality mindset, from greeting to goodbye — so she wants to rebook. Every phrase subtitled in English, with a complete 60-minute session shown start to finish as a real appointment.

VOICE

From our students

Translated from reviews by our Japanese students.

Intermediate Male, 30s

I worried it was too soon after the beginner course. It wasn’t. Being able to rewatch just the parts I struggle with is a lifesaver. Last week she told me her whole body felt lighter.

Intermediate Male, 40s

My thumbs were sore for the first few days, honestly. Then the weight transfer clicked. Massaging my wife’s lower back is now a weekend ritual — she says it’s completely different from before.

Intermediate Female, 30s

I took it to do something about my husband’s stiff shoulders. No jargon anywhere, so even I — basically a beginner — never got left behind. Now he requests it every night.

Moved up to Advanced Male, 40s

Jumping straight to Advanced felt risky, so I built my base with Intermediate first. The step-by-step order made it manageable — and now I actually get asked, "when can you do that again?"

Individual experiences. Results and sensations vary.

Q & A

Frequently asked questions

Q.Which should I start with — Intermediate or Advanced?

Intermediate. It builds the finger techniques and per-body-part skills that give you confidence with anyone. When you’re ready to work at a rebooked-professional level, move up to Advanced.

Q.Can I start with Intermediate without taking the Beginner course?

You can, but Intermediate assumes you’re comfortable with basic palm technique. If massage itself is new to you, the Beginner course first will make everything click much faster.

Q.I’m worried it’ll be too difficult.

Every body part is split into "method" and "practice," explained slowly and carefully. For the Intermediate course, no anatomy background is needed — muscle names are introduced as you use them. The Advanced course does assume the basics: the instructor recommends keeping a beginner’s anatomy reference at hand as you study. Either way, with lifetime access you can rewatch until it clicks.

Q.Can I move up to Advanced later?

Yes. Build your base with Intermediate, and purchase Advanced whenever you’re ready. Intermediate is plenty to begin with.

Q.Do I need a massage table?

For practicing the movements, a mattress at home works. That said, the instructor demonstrates everything on a massage table and recommends one for giving real sessions — pressure stays stable and the techniques are much easier to reproduce (a foldable massage table is a good home option). No oil — everything is over clothing.

Q.Do I need a license? Can I use this professionally?

To massage your partner, family or friends at home, no license is needed anywhere. If you plan to charge clients as a professional, licensing rules vary by country and state — please check your local regulations. Either way, you’ll be learning the working techniques of a professional Japanese therapist — including advanced methods that most shops never use.

Q.What language are the lessons in?

The lessons are fully in Japanese — the instructor’s voice and all on-screen text (captions, chapter titles). Every video has carefully written English subtitles, which also cover the key numbers and safety points shown on screen. If you can follow a subtitled video, you can follow this course.

Q.How does viewing work?

Instant access after purchase. Phone & PC, no app, lifetime access, rewatch anytime.

Q.Can I get a refund?

Because this is digital video content, all sales are final. Please watch the sample lessons and review the curriculum and comparison table before purchasing.
