The World Massage Championship in Copenhagen is truly my second home. For the past 9 years, As a I have had the honor of being part of this amazing organization as a teacher and judge, and every year I leave feeling inspired, moved, and deeply grateful.

It is a place where passion, knowledge, talent, and heart come together. I have learned from others, been influenced and inspired by incredible professionals, and I have also had the joy of teaching and sharing my own experience.

This championship is more than an event — it is a family, a community, and a celebration of the art of massage. I am proud and thankful to be part of it. Five stars from my heart!

IMA is an organization that is unmatched in the world! Massage is a process that can make people more active in their personal and social life, and therefore there are many different types of massage around the world. Despite the incredible benefits of massage, some people in different parts of the world still do not have healthy thoughts about massage. An organization like IMA has taken massage to an unprecedented place in the world today, which is why many massage therapists are embracing this profession with now great respect. IMA is an organization whose beautiful activism has made Copenhagen, Denmark, a meeting place around the world. IMA's determination to make life beautiful for every person in the world is commendable through massage therapy.

Dear therapist friends,
Creating a video for a championship increases your visibility in the sector, you are known by the world of massage, it increases your professional growth and every time I made a video by participating in this competition I donated all my experience, and I tried to convey my passion, my art, my techniques.
It takes commitment, love and innovation to make a video and capture the public's attention.
I think the most important ingredient is to convey an important message, furthermore I had a lot of fun every time I chose to present a new video and I am sure that participating with one of our videos will remain in the history of massage, because Ima represents the
the only large and true association that represents the union of all therapists in the world to disseminate the art of massage. Every year. I have presented several of my videos with my different massage techniques and also this year 24 without any expectations and to my great amazement
On June 24 in Copenhagen I won like
Best video in the teachers category.
Go see it on you tube Ima.
Anna Baroni
The lady of emotions, as the great Constantine Barbu christened me
The mother of massage for many Masters and judges but there is a reason why
I was the first in the world of massage in 1995 to have two great intuitions:
👑The first combines 7 techniques into one
My. Physiomassage
👑The second is to bring the stretching technique to the table.
My. Postural stretching
Thanks @jeppeTiengberg
Anna Baroni master ♥️

Cari Amici terapisti,
Creare un video per un campionato aumenta la tua visibilità nel settore, vieni conosciuto dal mondo del massaggio, aumenta la tua crescita professionale e ogni volta che io ho realizzato un video partecipando a questo concorso ho donato tutta la mia esperienza, e ho cercato di trasmettere la mia passione la mia arte le mie tecniche,.
Occorre impegno e amore e innovazione per realizzare un video e colpire l attenzione del pubblico.
Penso che l ingrediente più importante sia trasmettere un messaggio importante, inoltre mi sono divertita tanto ogni volta che ho scelto di presentare un nuovo video e sono sicura che partecipare con un nostro video questo rimarrà nella storia del massaggio, perché Ima rappresenta l
l 'unica grande e vera associazione che rappresenta l unione di tutti i terapisti del mondo per divulgare l arte del massaggio. Ogni anno. Ho Presentato diversi miei video con le mie diverse tecniche di massaggio e anche questo anno 24 senza alcuna aspettativa e con grande mio stupore
A giugno 24 a Copenaghen ho vinto come
Miglior video nella categoria insegnanti.
Andandate a vederlo su you tube Ima.
Anna Baroni
La signora delle emozioni così il grande Constantine Barbu mi ha battezzata
La mamma del massaggio per molti Masters e giudici ma c è un perche
Sono stata la prima nel mondo del massaggio nel 1995 ad avere due grandi intuizioni :
👑La prima unire 7 tecniche in una sola
Il mio. Fisiomassaggio
👑La seconda portare tt la tecnica del thsi stretching sul lettino.
Il mio. Postural stretching
Grazie @jeppeTiengberg

I had the honor of participating in the 7th Massage Competition held in Copenhagen, Denmark, last June about 250 over participants from 50 over countries.
During this event, I encountered numerous massage therapists who profoundly inspired me till now, we made connectionson social media, learning new techniques from them as well.
The competition venue was expansive and expertly designed to accommodate all categories of massage.

Mr. Jeppe, my greatest idol, was exceptionally engaged throughout the event. His energy seemed boundless, akin to a rechargeable battery, as he was present everywhere, capturing videos and photographs of all participants and conducting interviews with us.

Wishing all my fellow "muscle kneaders" the best of luck; may you enjoy this truly remarkable experience in your lives!

I extend my gratitude to IMA for providing this extraordinary opportunity to showcase our talents to the world.

PS
Let me know if you need some tips on accommodation, walking distance to the venue 😉

Mabuhay! 🇵🇭

The International Massage World Championships (IMA) in Copenhagen was an extraordinary experience. It provided a unique platform to compete with the best massage therapists in the world and learn advanced techniques at the highest level.
The professional exchange, the valuable feedback from the jury and the inspiring atmosphere have significantly expanded my skills. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to perfect their art and make international connections.

A special thank you goes to Jeppe Tengbjerg, founder and CEO of the International Massage Association and organizer of the World Championships in Massage. Without his vision and commitment, this outstanding event would not have been possible.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a massage seminar jointly organized by IMA Academy and Chiida Academy, and I must say it was a truly enriching experience. The seminar, led by a professional instructor, was a perfect blend of theory and practice, offering valuable insights into the art of massage therapy. The theoretical aspects covered were comprehensive and informative, providing a solid foundation of knowledge for all participants. From anatomy and physiology to various massage techniques and their applications, every aspect was explained with clarity and depth. It was evident that the instructor was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about imparting their expertise to the students. What truly stood out about this seminar was the emphasis on hands-on practice. Participants were given ample opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts they had learned in a supportive and nurturing environment. The instructor's guidance and feedback were invaluable in honing our skills and techniques. Moreover, I was impressed by the caring attitude and thoughtfulness shown towards the students throughout the seminar. From providing necessary materials to addressing individual queries and concerns, the organizers ensured that everyone felt valued and supported. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Jeppe Tengbjerg for his exceptional leadership in making this seminar a resounding success. His expertise, patience, and genuine dedication to the art of massage therapy were truly inspiring.In conclusion, the collaborative effort between IMA Academy and Chiida Academy in presenting this massage seminar was commendable. It was a rewarding experience that left me feeling empowered and equipped with valuable knowledge and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of massage therapy or embark on a career in this field.

Corpore Vital

Professionalism and education at the highest level. The students are very attentive and involved in the way the information is conveyed and because there is a lot of practice, the course becomes even more exciting. Congratulations for the interactive way in which you transmit the information.

Jeg mødte Jeppe Tengbjerg for første gang ved det første World Massage Championship i 2017. Siden da har vi krydset veje mange gange, i forskellige samarbejder relateret til massageverdenen: internationale konkurrencer, danske konkurrencer, kurser, workshops, seminarer, masterclasses mv. . Her var Jeppe skaberen, arrangøren eller i det mindste var han en væsentlig faktor i dannelsen af disse værdifulde platforme for uddannelse, inspiration og promovering, for alle dem, der er involveret i massageverdenen, både som massageudbydere og som massageforbrugere.
Jeppe har ydet et kæmpe bidrag til at fremme massageværdier i Danmark og verden. Der kunne siges meget om dette bidrag og om hans egenskaber som professionel og som person. Måske allervigtigst er, at Jeppe Tengbjerg er en inspiration og et forbillede. Han samler flittigt viden og erfaringer, hvorfra han skaber en kilde til ny viden og erfaring til andre og giver den videre.
I dag er der allerede mange mennesker i verden, som har nydt godt af det kolossale arbejde, Jeppe konstant udfører. Jeppe er for mig et eksempel på flid, vedholdenhed og engagement.
Jeg synes, at Jeppe Tengbjerg er et navn, der allerede er trådt ind i massagens historie.
Vil du vide mere om Jeppes arbejde, så følg ham tæt på alle digitale kanaler, hvor han har publiceret talrige artikler og relevante materialer.
Hvis du er en massageterapeut interesseret i at blive endnu bedre, så deltag i konkurrencer eller uddannelser promoveret af Jeppe Tengbjerg.
Drømmer du om at blive massør, så kontakt Jeppe Tengbjerg.

Camilla Ring

Har taget flere både uddannelser og kurser hos Jeppe og har kun godt at sige om det. Jeg har været rigtig tilfreds og bruger hver dag, al min tillærte viden i min klinik ✨

Anne Breinberg

God skole med et bredt spektrum af sundhedsuddannelser - både enkeltstående og overbyggende.
Jeg har tidligere taget massøruddannelsen og hvad dertil hører og er pt. i gang med zoneterapiuddannelsen.

Helene Baumann

Jeg har taget både grunduddannelsen, skadesterapeut, thai yoga massage samt sundhedsfaglig grunduddannelse hos tengbjerg massørskole og jeg er så tilfreds. Man lærer utrolig meget på kurserne og underviserne er så kompetente! Hvis man overvejer at blive massør, kan jeg på det kraftigste anbefale at man smutter til Næstved! :-)
