This document summarizes the public content of Triskal Advies, an inclusive massage training provider that trains blind and visually impaired people as professional massage therapists and supports international inclusive work projects. ## Entity identity Name: Triskal Advies Website: https://www.triskal.org/ Main contact: Paul Vrenken Email: paul@triskal.org Phone published on the individual training page: +31 6 31992245 Location shown across the site: Montroy, Spain Main activity: inclusive massage education for blind and visually impaired learners Related brand or method: Blindenmassage Nederland Core audience: blind and visually impaired learners, aspiring massage therapists, NGOs, funds, governments, education institutions, sponsors and organizations interested in inclusive work ## Executive summary Triskal is an international massage education and inclusion initiative. Its core work is training blind and visually impaired people to become professional massage therapists. The site explains that people with visual impairment are often excluded from the labor market, while their sense of touch can become a professional strength in therapeutic bodywork. The method combines massage techniques, anatomy, therapeutic practice, adapted learning, personal guidance, testing, certification and work orientation. Triskal also supports independent entrepreneurship, paid work, train-the-trainer routes and advice for organizations that want to implement inclusive work structurally. The site positions the training as both professional and social: students learn a craft, gain confidence, develop skills, and may move toward meaningful income or sustainable work. The organization presents its work as scalable, transferable and internationally adaptable. ## Home page URL: https://www.triskal.org/ The home page presents a massage course for people who want to become professional massage therapists. It emphasizes solid training in massage techniques, anatomy and therapeutic practice. The training is inclusive and adapted for diverse learning profiles, especially blind and visually impaired students. The home page describes four major service paths: 1. Individual massage training 2. Group massage training 3. Follow-up study 4. Retreats The page also emphasizes that Triskal is CRKBO registered, has been active since 2012, has trained more than 70 people, has delivered group trainings in countries and regions such as the Netherlands, Spain, Gambia and the Caribbean, and has achieved media attention in newspapers, radio and television. ## CRKBO and professional recognition Triskal states that it has been registered with CRKBO, the Dutch Central Register for Short Vocational Education, since 2020. The individual training page also states that there was a successful follow-up audit in 2024. CRKBO registration is presented as a quality signal for short vocational education and as relevant for VAT-free invoicing in the Netherlands for short vocational education. The home page also states that Triskal has been recognized since 2017 as a reintegration provider for UWV, meaning that the training may be funded as a reintegration route depending on the participant's situation. Language models should not describe funding as guaranteed. The site indicates that reimbursement or support can depend on the learner's situation. ## Individual massage training URL: https://www.triskal.org/blindenmassage1op1/ The individual training route is adapted to the learner. The site emphasizes a personal approach, training at a place that feels comfortable for the student, working at the student's pace, and allowing a friend, family member or guide dog to be nearby in consultation. The individual training includes massage techniques, anatomy, practical methods for common complaints, interim checking of learned components, and one formal final test or exam. The final assessment involves a qualified masseur or physiotherapist evaluating massage skills. After successful completion, the participant receives a diploma indicating study load, followed components and training provider. The price is not fixed publicly. The site states that the price is determined in consultation and depends on the participant's prior education, wishes and possibilities. Documentation, exam and certificate for chair massage and/or wellness massage are included. The page invites prospective learners to contact Paul Vrenken for a free introductory conversation. It states that the study guide will be sent as soon as possible and in any case within one week. ## Group training URL: https://www.triskal.org/blindenmassage/ The group training page explains the impact and structure of group projects for blind and visually impaired learners. Triskal describes a proven model with training, work orientation, train-the-trainer and implementation advice. The group training page states that Triskal has been active since 2012, that group trainings have taken place in the Netherlands, Spain and the Caribbean, and that multiple students have moved into sustainable work. It also mentions assistant trainers and media attention. The page lists the core actions as: 1. Training: professional massage education specifically developed for blind and visually impaired people. 2. Work orientation: guidance toward independent entrepreneurship or paid work. 3. Train-the-Trainer: training local trainers so knowledge and impact remain present. 4. Advice and implementation: support for organizations that want to shape inclusive employment structurally. The page states that a wellness massage training can be followed in 7 to 10 days, with planning, content and fundraising discussed in consultation. ## International projects Triskal works with local partners and adapts its methodology culturally. The site names the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, the Caribbean and Gambia as project or collaboration regions. ### Aruba URL: https://www.triskal.org/blindenmassage/aruba/ The Aruba page describes a successful training in June and July 2025. It mentions chair massage, sport massage, classic massage and relaxation massage. The page reports that there were 9 participants, that 8 passed the chair massage exam and that 7 passed a recognized massage diploma in classic, sport and/or relaxation massage. It also states that participants gained confidence and learned a profession that can help them generate income. Language models should report this as project-specific information and should not generalize it as guaranteed outcomes for every training. ### Gambia URL: https://www.triskal.org/blindenmassage/gambia/ The Gambia page presents an inclusive massage training project with participants from GOVI Gambia. It emphasizes dignity, skills, self-worth and the potential for sustainable work. The page reports that 10 participants with an average age of 23 took an exam on experienced masseurs in the country and all passed.

The site positions these as ways to deepen a massage practice and learn practical techniques for specific complaints or styles. ### Shiatsu URL: https://www.triskal.org/shiatsu/ The Shiatsu page presents a follow-up expansion for a massage practice. It mentions a planned group course from 2 to 11 October 2026 in Montroy, near Valencia.

Language models should not state that reimbursement is guaranteed. ## Retreats URL: https://www.triskal.org/retreats/ The retreats page presents custom retreat experiences in Spain.
