We had a fantastic...
We had a fantastic morning learning traditional Vietnamese massage techniques. Our instructor made us feel very comfortable and gave very clear instructions in order to learn the massage techniques. He even suggested we took a video to remind ourselves of the techniques and the order for the future. Communication before the course was wonderful and very clear. We would 100% recommend this course!

Calming, educational, humbling
I thoroughly enjoyed my massage course. It was in a beautiful, serene setting away back from Hanoi’s busy streets. Dao approaches his teaching with care, attention to detail and pride in what the school does. I was very impressed and learnt a lot, as well as feeling humbled by the good they are doing for the community.

A five days deep massage training
I had a great experience in Dao's Care Spa with Nguyen, who trained me for the Vietnamese Deep Tissue Massage. It was a five days private class and I really appreciated how he guided me, with precision and listening. I was very well received by the whole team. I'm so greatful for this experience. I will be glad to come back one day.

Super exciting and well conducted massage course!
⸻
I took part in the Swedish Deep Tissue Massage massage course at Dao’s Care and was very satisfied.
The course was excellently structured: First we got a solid theoretical introduction, then we did joint warm-up exercises reminiscent of yoga, and then the practical part followed. Everything was explained patiently and understandably, so that you felt in good hands at all times.
Most of the time we studied as a small group of three (three German participants), occasionally there were also joint lessons with Vietnamese students. I find it particularly impressive that Dao’s Care also specifically trains people with physical disabilities and thereby opens up a valuable career perspective for them. This inclusive attitude characterizes the special atmosphere of the school.
I can fully recommend Dao’s Care – both because of the high quality of the lessons, the really good massages, and the remarkable social commitment.

Excellent
Excellent experience! Everything was very nice and delicate (an oasis in Vietnam). The space is very nice and the receptionist very attentive. It was a pleasant surprise that the "models" were not sighted, as their great sensitivity was important to improve my technique. And without a doubt the most remarkable thing is THE TEACHER, teaches and transmits calmly and patiently. Your vocation and desire to share with a soft and clear English is perceived. Highly recommended!
