What Holistic Massage Therapy Qualifications are required to work in Spain
 

Hello
I am a holistic therapist and massage therapist in the UK and am looking to relocate to Marbella. Does anyone know if I can use my UK qualifications to practise in Spain or do I need to re-qualify?
Many thanks.

Hi.:welcome:

I would be surprised if you did - you don't actually need any qualifications to practise most of those things in the UK do you?

I'll try to do some finding out but it might depend upon the therapies you offer. Can you be a little more specific?

Hi
You absolutely have to have qualifications to practise as a massage therapist in the UK or you will not be covered by insurance. If you don't you could be sued for millions.
I am a holistic practitioner (cant be more specific than that really - holistic means the whole body and mind) and a massage therapist.
The question is can I practise as a massage therapist in Marbella with my UK qualifications or do I have to re-qualify.
Thanks.
