Why Choose Our School

Long Established in Field (1989)

We have been teaching professional massage therapy since 1989, long before it became popular. While many other massage programs have sprung up over the years, their purpose in starting operation is different than ours. We have a deep- felt love for the massage profession and feel that the lives of many are touched and changed in a positive way. Other programs may see the dollars and cents and place the human factor way in the background.

High Quality of Education

We set our educational standards high and have high expectations of our students. Rather than teach to the content of the licensing examination, we teach material that will make our students excel in the massage marketplace. Our practicing, experienced faculty members have strong belief in the power of massage and communicate that through their teaching. We take pride in helping our students become the best therapists they can be.

100% Passing rate on licensing exam

While the industry average for passing the state-licensing exam is 65%, we have achieved a higher rate due to our commitment to quality education and the high standards we set for our students. We screen our students carefully during the admissions interview and strive to make sure our goals and their goals are in alignment. Studying hard pays off in the end.

Clinical and Energetic Approaches to Massage Therapy

Having been in the education side of massage therapy for a while, we have seen changes in the approaches some schools take to training their students. With the proliferation of spa style relaxation massage some schools teach a very “vanilla” style of work. While we teach relaxation massage as a basic skill level, we also instruct in the clinical application of massage. Schools that focus on clinical application often neglect the energetic connection and exchange that goes on during massage and bodywork. We take pride in our cultivation of a healing consciousness in the therapist and client alike.

Flexible Schedule Options

We offer core classes in the both daytime and evening which gives students more options to fit their education around their work schedule. With trimesters commencing January, May and September our students can take time off for family or work and return when it is more convenient for them. Schools that have a set program taught over a specific timeframe do not often allow this flexibility. Other schools offer only evening classes and may meet every weekday.

Large Variety of Experienced Faculty

While some schools have one or two primary instructors, our core teaching staff numbers over fourteen. This allows for a variety of approaches and personalities to the practice of massage therapy. Our students benefit from the different perspectives each teacher brings to their education. All of the massage faculty are in private practice and thus bring their considerable knowledge and experience to their teaching.

Choice of Continuing Education Opportunities Onsite

Our commitment to excellence continues past graduation through the wide variety of continuing education seminars and bodywork disciplines we teach at our facility. Many massage schools do not offer such courses, choosing to focus on basic training only. Practicing professionals can attend our school and further their education while fulfilling licensing requirements. Add to your skill level and remain on the cutting edge of technique by attending our courses.

Advanced Massage Therapy Certificate available

If you have graduated from one of the many 500-hour massage programs, you can attend our advanced massage program and earn an Advanced Massage Certificate. The many elective courses and continuing education courses we offer can be parlayed into this advanced training.
