Elaine Phan

Elaine Phan, Certificate IV and Diploma of Remedial Massage

“I quit my job after over 10 years to embark on this new and exciting journey of giving back in a rewarding and holistic way. Have never looked back and never felt so much more relaxed, happy and rewarded. Sage has opened my eyes to limitless educational possibilities in such a short period of time. Why go anywhere else? It’s all here at Sage. Thank you Sage for such an unforgettable experience and my qualifications! This is the beginning of my new purposeful life.”

Mark Sidandi, Certificate IV in Massage Therapy

“I have had a massage background in my family back home in Kenya, Africa which was passed down generations through my grandmother then through my father and then to me. I learned a lot of things from them so when I got to Australia my earnest longing and desire was for an opportunity to study massage. I got this chance when I happened on Sage Massage School where I recently obtained my Certificate IV in Massage. My experience at Sage was extremely useful and beneficial. The lecturers were up to the task and taught me a lot of things in a way that made it very easy for me to grasp the subject matter. The practical sessions were such a marvelous experience as I got hands on experience as well as exposure to the western ways of massage which I must admit I found quite different from the African massage I was used to. I always looked forward to attending classes where the learning environment was so friendly and always so refreshing. The whole experience at Sage is something I will always appreciate and cherish. Upon completion of my studies I was confident enough to open my massage studio in my home and after placing an advertisement online I started receiving my first few clients which steadily grew and exceeded my wildest expectations. So far my business known as African Massage is doing very well and I am so happy and quite fulfilled. Once more I say a big thank you to the Sage Massage!”

Sarah Katsoulis, Cerificate IV in Massage Therapy

“Being an elite athlete I have been exposed to massage for quite a number of years. I wanted to give back in some way, so I opted to do the Certificate IV in Massage. The team at Sage Massage were extremely supportive, and provided me with the knowledge and practical skills I need to work with other elite athletes.”
