we are; what we stand for. HHI is a holistic school teaching the connection of the mind,

We believe that just learning the technique of massage is not enough
to facilitate healing. Throughout
the CMT150 Program you will be taught how to connect to and help facilitate
healing in your client through: Proper touch Grounding Centering Being totally present Setting the right

at HHI is life changing. I often have heard our therapists say they feel as
good as their clients after giving a massage. So, if
you want a profession that enables you to help others while helping yourself,
massage therapy is right for you. Our

Anatomy & Physiology A basic knowledge of anatomy and
physiology is necessary in learning the theory and practice of therapeutic
massage. Students will study the
structures and functions of the human body in order to know when, where, and
how to apply massage movements for the most beneficial results. These classes are presented in a way that
makes it easy and fun for the student to learn. Swedish Massage Massage therapy is an ancient
healing art. Classes focus on the power of touch, how massage affects mind,
body and spirit, helps to facilitate the body’s healing process, and the
indications and contraindications for massage. The emphasis of the practical
training is a 55-minute and a 90-minute, full-body Swedish massage
routine. The five basic Swedish
strokes are taught: effleurage,
petrissage, friction, vibration and tapotement, and their variations.
Students will not only learn the basics of massage, but will be encouraged to
develop their own style. Interrelated
topics are also taught during Swedish classes including: meditation as a tool
for massage therapists to help in calming the mind and focusing before a
session, breathwork techniques and guided dialogue to expand your capacity for
freedom, power, and joy, and movement awareness gives you a conscious
experience of lasting ease and relaxation in your body. Both are needed to be able to help others
through massage and deep tissue work. INTRODUCTIONS TO THE FOLLOWING
MODALITIES: Aromatherapy Aromatherapy is the practice of skillfully
integrating essential oils in a wide variety of application methods and
treatment forms to prevent illness, and to enhance and maintain physical,
emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Aromatherapy, in common with all
holistic therapies, seeks to strengthen the body’s own innate, self-healing
ability. Business Practices, Marketing & Ethics This class
gives students the skills needed to begin and promote a successful massage
practice. Just some of the subjects
discussed: business cards, licensing,
places of possible employment, types of clients you would like to work on and
much more. This is the class where
all your questions get answered. Chair Massage Basic techniques of chair massage
and a “15-minute” therapeutic chair massage routine will be demonstrated and
practiced. Simple business ideas for
massage will be discussed and students will learn First Aid tips for chair
massage. This modality is becoming highly popular and can be offered on-site
at offices, health food stores, marathons, schools, and more. Structural Bodywork This class introduces a therapeutic model of bodywork, a
category referred to as structural bodywork. It introduces the student to a
specialized approach to doing deeper massage work. This work can stand alone
as modalities like deep tissue, myofascial release and sports massage or can
be integrated into a wellness massage such as Swedish massage. Benefits can
include increased range of motion, ease of movement, improved posture,
increased healing of injured areas, and increased athletic performance. Energy Awareness This class is an introduction into
the field of energy medicine. Topics discussed in class will be different
views of what health means to us, the chakra system, acupuncture and meridian
theory, and the auric field. This
class will also discuss how energy balancing addresses the whole person: mind, body and spirit. Music & Massage This innovative class focuses on an
important element of a professional massage therapist’s practice: the music. Experience the effects of various genres of music on freedom
and style of body movement, fluidity, emotion, and memory. Learn invaluable information about how
music affects our movement and flow. Trigger Point Therapy This class explores deep tissue approaches by using trigger
point release and neuromuscular reeducation to enhance a therapist's approach
to massage. Theory and practice allows you to explore the body's anatomy and
physiology as you learn to encourage muscle release through gentle touch. *Upon completion
of our CMT150 program, graduates are offered the opportunity to participate
in our Certified Advanced Skills Program. Advanced Skills Program I *$300
Supply Pack included. Textbook not included. The students must have faculty
approval in order to participate in the advanced skills program. This is a great opportunity for
students to acquire hands on experience and develop a professional attitude
concerning such things as punctuality, appearance, confidentiality,
completing a massage within a given time frame, draping, making, confirming
and canceling appointments, maintaining client files, and record keeping and
communication skills through client contact.
This supervised clinical practice, allows the student to develop their
unique style and technique in a safe environment while adding to their
certified hours. Prerequisite: CMT150 and
program managers’ approval. *NOTE: A 50 hour elective would normally cost
$600.00) This
