Endeavour College of Natural Health

Pros:
— $ 15 Acupuncture
— $ 25 Remedial and Swedish massage and Tui Na sessions (yeah, I had no clue what Tui Na was either but now love it)
— Great way to try out different forms of natural therapy at an affordable price
— 4 packs sessions available when you find your favourite therapy
— Great CBD location
— No dolphin music.
Cons:
— These are students in their final year of study so consultations can take a bit of time
— The comuputer system they use here is abysmal meaning it can take over 5 minutes for them to check if there is availability. Bring your patience.
— No dolphin music (hey, sometimes I’m in the mood for it!)

I can’t believe that a good massage is this cheap.
Thirty bucks will get you an hour with a soon-​to-​be-​certified massage therapist. Truly, they are just as good (if not better!) than some of the massages I’ve had in salons around Melbourne.
The students listen to your health concerns. If you want a massage without the chatter, they’ll do it. If you are the type of person to talk their ear off (that’d be me), they are happy to acquiesce. The students here are extremely professional and invite you to a relaxing session every single time.
I couldn’t give this place the full five stars because of the threadbare partitions serving as walls and the bright overhead lights. However, it’s not like the students can help this. If I were judging the students alone, five stars would be most accurate.
Make sure you book ahead, as they fill up relatively quickly. And with good reason.

I have to say that I am a massive massage fan. Whether for remedial purposes or simply for relaxation, I feel like the majority of life’s problems can be solved by an expert massage. Unfortunately this is an extremely expensive habit and being a student and not a bored rich housewife my budget doesn’t quite extend to cover my desires. So, discovering the student massages at the clinic at Endeavour College of Natural Health was an absolute revelation. I only wish that I’d come across it sooner. For a ninety-​minute massage you’re usually looking at paying just over $ 100. At Endeavour, on the other hand, a ninety minute remedial massage or deep tissue massage comes in at a measly $ 30, $ 25 for your second visit. While the college may be lacking in spa-​style ambience, this no thrills approach does the job. The students are highly skilled and quick to ensure that you’re as comfortable as possible. The only downside is that the low prices and great service mean that you’ll probably have to book a few weeks in advance. Fans of natural therapy can also look into naturopathy, nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy and aromatherapy, all at equally low prices.
