“The body cannot be cured without regard for the soul.”    -Socrates

Dear Students,

Being a massage therapist is a wonderful profession. It lets you actualize your spirit’s call to be of service in a way that also nurtures you. The ripple effect of your caring spreads well beyond your reach, and it becomes a sort of practical peace work. Massage is also an act of creation, and therapists ultimately create unique sessions that are their heart and soul’s expression of a healing intention.

Being in massage school is usually one of the best periods of a person’s life. You meet people with similar good intentions, and you learn so much about yourself in the process of learning to do massage. You receive massage most days as well as give it, and often a student’s body changes for the better while in school. Plus, in learning how to listen to clients, and to hold space for them, you deepen your own emotional intelligence. At the end of school, you have the skills to support yourself by actively participating in helping other people’s lives improve. It is a very satisfying life.

Our teachers are all working therapists, who want to ‘give back’ to the profession that has nurtured them. We are excited to help you grow as a professional – and as a small school, we can help you find the way to become a professional massage therapist that is in harmony with your individual expression.

Attendance, Cancellation & Withdrawal Policy

 

Students must cancel at least seven business days prior to class start date in order to receive a credit or refund. No Shows are not eligible for a refund or credit. Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes.  No classes are scheduled on legal holidays*.  The instructor of each class will record absences, tardiness, and any increments of 15 minutes missed by the student..  If a scheduled class is missed, the student must complete classroom hours and instructional material no later than 30 days from end of class without prior authorization. 

Missed practical training can be made up by tutoring with instructors at $25.00 per hour. (One hour of tutoring equals 1 hour of class time.)  Makeup sessions should be personally arranged with individual instructors or the front office. Failure to complete the hours of classroom attendance required for the course will result in an “incomplete” assessment by the Institute.  Class hours will not be added to transcript until all required hours are completed. Missing more that 30% class hours will result in an automatic drop, forfeiting all hours and payment.

Students must bring their own basic supplies (e.g. linens, lotion, pen and paper, etc.) and any required material for course. See individual course pages for prerequisites and requirements.
