Touch Line Institut of Amma Massage

Un Art! A Passion! A Vocation!

Founded in 1995 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, by an American named Tony Neuman, the Touch Line Institut has trained over 12 000 practitioners across 13 countries!

Tony Neuman, author of the book: Chair Massage – the traditional japanese art of accupression: Amma, (editions Jouvence, re-edited yearly since 1998 and translated in 6 langugages) has committed his professional career to offering the highest level of seated massage technical training, marketing and support to his network of students!

Tony’ mission is render professional massage accessible to everyone: psychologically, financially and temporally!

There are many obstacles that prevent the majority of people from receiving a professional full body massage: “It’s too expensive!”, “I don’t like to get undressed in front of strangers…”, “I just don’t have 1 hour of free time for myself each week between my private and professional lives…!”

The Touch Line Chair Massage is a highly studied, refined and tested 15 minutes accupressure sequence that take place in the clients office, or other accessible location, through the clothing, in the time of a 15 minute coffee break, paid for often by the boss!

Since the advent of Chair Massage, Touch Line has provided hundreds of thousands of massages to people all over the world, and surmounted the traditional obstacles to touch! Tony’s goal is also to provide meaningful work to massage practitioners.

Creating Art, is an Art.
Making a living as an Artist, is also an Art!

Tonys’ unique passion for massage and honest marketing have resulting in a highly efficient training program fine-tuned over 22 years of teaching. You will be surprised at how much you will learn, and how quickly, all while having fun! In the Tonys’ Marketing Class you will learn how to overcome the emotional blocks that prevent most massage practitioners from achieving the success and fulfillment they deserve. You will benefit from 22 years of experience of a successful chair massage practitioner, the clear arguements for efficiently implementing your chair massage activity in a company, as well as the traps and pitfalls to avoid while creating your practice.

So many massage practitioners study 5, 6 or 7 differents techniques of masssage, only to leave their schools, diploma in hand, and abruptly find themselves confronted with the harsh reality of having to build a practice, yet ill equiped to find paying clients!

Time has proven clearly that:

  • It is a small step for the non-initiated, potential client to the chair
  • Another small step from your chair, to your table…
  • But a hugh leap from the non-initiated state – to your table!
  • And the majority of potential client do not take that leap!
  • And the majority of massage practitioners are unable to make a living from their passion!
  • The Vision of Touch Line and Tony Neuman is to bridge this gap!

This training is THE most effective way for you to change your routine, have fun out in the world with your chair, help countless numbers of people to receive touch, and increase your revenue!

Do not wait any longer for your clients to discover you…take your chair and get out into the world and present yourself! You will absolutely ask yourself one simple question:

“Why didn’t I do this SOONER?!”

Some exemples of where our students work:

  • Companies (IBM, Orange, Air France, Apple Computer, Google…)
  • Events (Music festivales, Trade shows, Weddings, Cannes film festival…)
  • Public (Beaches, Parks, Street fairs, Terraces of CafĂ©s…)
  • You are only limited by your imagination!

Touch Line is more than a simple training…it is a network! Touch Line is committed to creating a maximum number opportunities for its students even after your training has ended. Once you have recieved your certification, you become a member of the Touch Line family!
