AHHHH… sometimes it pays to be manipulated by others.
Introducing the minimal money massage!
I’ve found a way to get a 60 minute remedial massage for just $20. Try and negotiate that price with your local day spa! Students from the Q Academy here on the Gold Coast are hungry for bodies so they can practise their newly acquired craft. You can be the recipient of a massage administered by a student whose fingertips are fresh and ready to go.
Of course, I had to put myself on the table and be the guinea pig just to ensure that this deal was legit and worth the $20. It was hard work but someone had to be dealt the 60 minutes of bliss from Q Academy super-therapist Lauren.
Watch me at work… such a stressful position I have! And oh…for those of you who don’t live on the Goldy I’ve done some research and have found similar deals in other major cities…details are below…
Information from the Q Academy website…
“Our courses are designed to get you fully trained and industry qualified in themost efficient and time effective way possible by making full use of your 3 to 6 months study time and by using advanced kinaesthetic learning techniques to make it fun and therefore memorable. Our full time courses are really full time and run 5 days a week of live training and our part time courses run 2 evenings a week plus a full day on the weekend, both programs get you industry qualified and earning in the shortest time possible.”
I’ve also researched some cheap massages in other states… Information is correct as at November 2009 – so it can all change… i.e subject to change…you know how these things work!
