Professional Massage
Therapy Training

Our massage therapy training programs are broad-based and comprehensive. Our objective is to create intelligent bodyworkers who are trained to recognize each client's needs and can draw from a wide spectrum of massage techniques. In addition to the hands-on techniques, our training programs give students an appreciation of the interrelated functioning of the whole body. In our training programs massage and bodywork techniques are balanced with education in theory and a thorough grounding in anatomy, kinesiology, bio-mechanics and the energetic principles of healing.

Open Enrollment
