Special focus is given to professional safety training. Every massage therapist should understand "body mechanics" to not exhaust or injure themselves.

Students are encouraged to learn breathing techniques, exercise and use yoga to keep themselves in good physical shape.

Our students have the opportunity to gain real world experience offering massage sessions to the public in our student massage clinic.

The focus on competency-based education allows students to be actively involved in their own success and educational outcomes.
