Unfortunately, you won’t find Nuru Massage training courses in official massage therapy schools. In fact, Nuru training classes are incredibly rare to be found, even outside the official channels, which is probably due to the very intimate and rather sexually explicit nature of the massage modality.
Another reason might be that it’s thought to be rather easy to master Nuru Massage by yourself because of “just” some sliding and gliding of your hands and body over another person’s body. Although there’s some truth to this (if performed on a very basic level) it doesn’t do full credit to professional Nuru Massage, which not only involves physical strength and precision, mastering quite a variety of meticulously performed sliding positions and moves (which sometimes are rather “acrobatic”), but also having knowledge of professional massage therapy techniques.
Having said that, you now and again encounter Nuru Massage providers, massage parlors, or individual Nuru Massage practitioners who offer workshops and classes, either on a regular basis or on request.
In addition, there are a few videos on YouTube that give you the gist of a Nuru session and demonstrate some of the techniques involved. This can come particularly handy for those who privately want to carry out Nuru Massage at home with a partner. We’ve listed some of those videos in our post Nuru Body Slide for Couples.
Nevertheless, if you would like to become a Nuru Massage professional you’ll basically need to learn the Nuru techniques in-house in the establishment you’ll be working for.
What you’ll also see, is that professional Nuru Massage practitioners may have additionally followed an official certified massage therapy training (not Nuru Massage, but other massages, such as Swedish Massage, Full Body Oil Massage, Foot Massage, or Acupressure Massage, etc.) and combine a Nuru session with the massage techniques they master.
The above depends very much on individual therapists or it depends on the establishments they work for, the latter (or the applicable local law) may be requiring that their masseuses/masseurs are qualified and certified massage practitioners.
At any rate, couples who want to bring in professional massage techniques into a Nuru session at home, can easily find many courses, workshops or classes, or complete massage therapy training offerings in their own city or region. There’s certainly no lack of regular massage training. It can be a means to bring your Nuru Massage session to another, enhanced level.
What’s more, it’s neither very hard to find individual trainers, training schools, or massage treatment establishments that offer erotic massage training courses and workshops. These are not Nuru Massage trainings, but typically Full-Body Sensual Erotic Oil Massage (FBSM) or Tantra Massage trainings, through which you can learn sensual or erotic massage techniques.
