A Hands-On Education
Massage therapy uses touch to help people, and that’s why our massage therapy school includes working with real-world clients in our student salon and spa. Under the supervision of licensed professionals, you will meet a variety of clients, learning something from each of them about how to increase their comfort and the different effects that can result from similar massage techniques. Our clients come in with a variety of injuries, ailments, and stresses, and our students get to practice the techniques and skills they have learned. In this way, our students develop the skills they have learned and are ready to start working as massage therapists after finishing the program.
