For Beginners

Tight neck. Stiff shoulders. Aching back.

Many people want to help someone close to them feel better, but do not know what to do safely or confidently.

This course is designed for beginners who want a practical and structured way to help at home. You learn by doing, understand what you are doing, and leave with confidence.

During the day you practice a full routine for legs, back and neck-shoulder area, then take the skill home for your partner, friend or family member.

Vick van Emden

Viktor has been working as a massage therapist for over 15 years – from professional athletes and competition teams to spas and corporate clients. Over the years, he has developed his own Mixed Massage Art approach, which combines the best aspects of classical massage, sports massage, osteopathic manipulation and trigger point therapy into one whole.

Viktor is a restaurateur with a degree in service production and management – this means that the course day is designed from start to finish as a quality experience, not just a list of techniques. Viktoria is motivated by the idea that the right touch is a skill that anyone can learn. Hierontakursi.fi was born from that – to bring professional-level expertise home, to bring partners and families closer together. As a father, he knows firsthand how important closeness and presence are in everyday life.
