If you are a massage therapist working in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Penang, Melaka, or near the Singapore border — this message is for you.
Many therapists in Malaysia work 10–12 hours a day, barely resting, pushing through the pain because clients are waiting and the boss is watching.
Yet despite all that effort, your salary stays the same.
And every time the MOH enforcement team walks in, your heart drops — because you don’t have SKM3 or DKM4.
If this is your life…
Please know: It’s not your fault.
Thousands of therapists in Malaysia learned massage through experience — not through formal schooling.
You learned by doing.
By practicing.
By helping customers feel better.
By suffering through long shifts, sore wrists, back pain, and mental exhaustion.
Your skills are real.
Your experience is real.
But without SKM/DKM, you may feel:
scared of MOH inspections
stuck earning the same salary
unable to grow, lead, or open your own place
unrecognised despite years of sacrifice
And that feeling can be deeply painful.
At Tim Bodycare Massage Academy, every trainer once started just like you.
They swept floors.
They massaged until their fingers went numb.
They worked while seniors slept.
They counted money just enough to send home to family.
They cried quietly on bad days.
Today, they stand as qualified, confident, recognised professionals — and they are ready to guide you through the same transformation.
We created a special pathway for experienced therapists (5+ years, Malaysia-based):
With this pathway, you can earn:
No need to “go back to school” full-time.
No need to start from zero.
Your real-life experience becomes your qualification.
But please note:
If you have more than 5 years of work experience, now is the time.
We created a full video to help you understand the process clearly:

We answer gently.
No pressure.
No judgment.
Just support.
