Relaxation trainers have the option of becoming self-employed and teaching relaxation techniques to individuals in their own practice , as well as working in groups. For example, you can give courses or teach in institutions. Nowadays, schools and kindergartens also often have a need for autogenic training.

Some companies also employ an in-house relaxation trainer for their employees to help with work-related stress, so the options are varied and can be flexibly combined.

Depending on whether relaxation trainers are self-employed or employed by a company, there are big differences in income.

In medium-sized companies, a monthly salary of €1500 or more is normal, but as an in-house relaxation trainer in a larger company, the gross monthly income can be as high as €2800.

The highest earnings can be achieved through self-employment, where €3000 per month is feasible with enough customers. However, if you are self-employed, you also need to own or rent your own premises and take care of bookkeeping and management.
