MAWS Instructor
Professional massage therapist, physiotherapist, speech-language pathologist, esthetician
Irina Gitsu is an IICT-certified massage therapist with 30 years of professional experience, an esthetician, physiotherapist and judge at international massage championships. For more than 13 years she has been teaching massage and preparing specialists for professional work with clients.
Irina combines vast hands-on experience with professional training in adult education. In class she does more than demonstrate techniques and movements — she teaches you to understand the body, see the causes of mistakes, choose methods consciously and build confident professional skills.
For Irina, massage is her life’s work. She genuinely loves her profession, keeps developing, studies new approaches and continues to refine her craft. Teaching holds a special place in her professional life — the chance to pass decades of knowledge and experience on to the next generation of specialists.
She treats every student with attention and sincere involvement, helping them not just memorise a sequence of moves but understand what they are doing and why, and work as a confident, professional therapist.
