Estimates for a small start in the UK, not guarantees.
What it is
One-to-one seitai sessions, a Japanese-style hands-on bodywork approach focused on posture, tension and movement. You treat clients on a couch or mat in a quiet room at home, usually in 45 to 60 minute appointments.
Your first three steps
- Complete a recognised seitai or bodywork course, and ask insurers what training they require
- Set up a clean, private treatment room with a couch, linen and a simple booking system
- Offer discounted first sessions to friends and neighbours, and ask for honest reviews
Who pays
Office workers, people on their feet all day, active adults and anyone looking for relaxation and relief from everyday muscle tightness.
How it makes money
A fixed price per session, with repeat clients booking monthly or every few weeks. Block bookings or a small discount for regulars can help keep your diary steady.
Skills that help
- Hands-on bodywork training
- Good listening and communication
- Calm, professional manner

Watch out for

- Know when to refer clients to a GP, and take a short health history before each new client
