Our mission is to create communities of competent massage therapists devoted to serving the greater community, enhancing and harmonizing our shared experience through intention, integrity, and acceptance.
Our Philosophy
Our educational philosophy is centered around the idea that everyone learns in different ways. We believe in providing an adaptable learning environment that accommodates various learning styles. We adopt a multidimensional approach to instruction, incorporating auditory, kinesthetic, and visual aids to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of massage therapy. Our classrooms are designed to be inclusive and supportive, promoting a safe and fun learning environment.
Our Program
Our massage therapy program is structured to integrate body, mind, and heart into its educational program. We believe in the development and integration of technical skill, understanding of the human body, and practicing from a space of personal awareness and presence. Our program is designed to provide students with a balanced education that includes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
