As an educator, I share my knowledge and witness as students make this knowledge their own through the learning process. You learn the material and make it your own. The beauty of massage is that we each have the opportunity to develop our own unique style and special way of touching others. This too, inspires me.

Our Massage Therapy Diploma Program blends a holistic and hands-on approach to massage. You'll be challenged to create your unique career path, working in a hospital, clinic, spa, health club, or your own private practice. Our training covers three top areas of study:

Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology
Coursework in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology provides a solid foundation in understanding the structure, function and health of the human body. You'll learn medical terminology that is actively reinforced in classroom experiences.

Massage Therapy and Practice
Master techniques in a classroom setting and practice them in a supervised and supportive environment. We also provide training in body mechanics and self-care because we want you to enjoy a long and healthy career. In addition to your Theory and Practice courses, we provide hands-on training in the Student Clinic and in our Community Outreach program that will further prepare you to interact with your own clients.

Professional Development
We provide you with the business basics necessary to succeed as a professional massage therapist. With the help of your instructors, you'll define your goals and target markets for a successful practice. With exercises in goal setting, creating a business plan, writing a resume, marketing/advertising and self-management, you'll walk away with the skills and tools to establish your own practice or apply for the right jobs for you upon graduation.
