SWEDISH MASSAGE - This will be the massage class upon which all others will be based. Learning Swedish will teach you the basic massage strokes, how to give a full-body 1 hour massage, and how to become comfortable and adept at touching the body. You will also learn how to release tension and give a great "feel good" massage! 

CONNECTIVE TISSUE MASSAGE - This is a form of deep tissue that focuses on the connective fascia that wraps every muscle. You will learn how imbalances originate in the body and mind and how to treat them, including treating injuries, chronic pain, and special conditions. The bulk of your massage training will be here. 

INTRO TO AYURVEDA– Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest medical systems. Originating in India 5,000 years ago, it relies on a natural and holistic approach to physical, mental, and emotional health. You will be introduced to the basic principles of Ayurveda, as well as Ayurvedic body treatments such as abhyanga massage. 

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY - Also called Neuromuscular Therapy, or NMT, this point work focuses on finding the trigger points that are causing or the result of pain or imbalances and releasing them. You will learn where universal trigger points are, how to find unique trigger points, and treatment protocols for several common problems, such as Frozen Shoulder or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 

REFLEXOLOGY - One of the most called-for modalities out there. You will learn how reflex points on the foot affect far-flung areas of the body and how to treat those areas by working on the foot. You'll also learn how to give an awesome foot massage and treatment, complete with a foot scrub, soak, and hot towels. 

FOREARM MASSAGE - Using techniques from Lomi and Thai massage, you will learn how to give an entire massage using your forearms and olecranon as your main tools. This will be invaluable knowledge to help you save your hands when your massage practice begins to thrive! 

SPA TREATMENTS - Whether or not your main goal is to work in a spa setting, many therapists find themselves working at a spa at one time or another. It's a great way to get a lot of massages under your belt and it can be a lot of fun. The skills you'll learn in this class will be highly valued there including Hot Stone Massage, Body Wraps, and Salt Glows. You may find yourself giving these treatments in your private practice, as well, as they are very popular.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY - All systems of the body will explored with delight and curiosity. Find out about yourself and your clients in a fun and interactive way. If you can learn and apply your knowledge of human anatomy to every massage you give, your ability to treat people effectively will soar. 

PATHOLOGY - Understanding your clients' various conditions and syndromes is essential for a massage therapist. Armed with this knowledge you will know when your work will help, and when it could possibly hurt, though these instances are less common. When you greet a client with the understanding and compassion that accompanies knowledge of their particular condition, they will feel they are in competent hands. And they will be! 

KINESIOLOGY - Frequently taught concurrently with a massage class, kinesiology delineates the muscles in terms of name, action, origin, and insertion. Knowledge of this medical terminology will allow you to communicate with ease to other massage therapists and health professionals, and be accurate and correct while doing so. This will help you to better treat patients who have diagnosed issues, and to understand the workings of the muscular system, along with balances and imbalances you'll find in each client's body. 

YOGA AND MEDITATION - The main goals of all movement classes will be twofold: to bring you into greater awareness of your own body, which is essential for someone using their body daily in their work; and so that you have body awareness in general which you can begin to educate your client about. Additionally, a healthy form of exercise is a fantastic way to keep your body in good shape so you can continue to give energetic massages well into the future. The practices of awareness and stillness are keys to being able to give a fully present and focused massage and the physical movements of yoga asana practices will help you achieve proper body mechanics during your massage. If you are distracted and thinking about a million things at once how can you focus on the task at hand? Meditation will be a boon to all areas of your life, including your massage practice. 

COUNSELING & AWARENESS - Drawing from Hypnotherapy, Hakomi, NLP, CBT and other concepts, students will learn how to offer the gift of listening. Many clients who come to your massage table will talk about things that are important to them. Here you gain the ability to listen without derailing your client with social conversation. You will also learn compassionate and non-intrusive ways of communicating with them while they are in that vulnerable state. When to refer out to a trained Counselor or Therapist is discussed fully, as are transference and countertransference issues. 

STUDENT CLINIC - Practice is the key to becoming a skilled therapist. Students will begin completing the 150 clinic hours required for graduation after they have received at least 100 hours of hands-on massage therapy training. Our supervised clinic will be open to the public where students will work with a variety of clients. Students will learn how to run a massage business, as well as give massages to the public and receive feedback from instructors. 

OTHER CLASSES- In addition to the classes above Ethics, Business, Hydrotherapy, MBLEx Test Prep, Prenatal and Sports Massage will be covered in the program.
