The 675-hour massage therapy certification program is designed to provide an academically excellent education in the field of massage and bodywork therapy that will meet and exceed the requirements for the national certification exam and the Massage Board Licensing Exam (MBLEx). By the end of the 675-hour program, students will be able to:

  • Understand the anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology of the human body and be able to apply that understanding to the practice of massage and bodywork therapy.
  • Draw from a diverse knowledge of modalities to create effective and individualized massage sequences.
  • Feel comfortable and confident applying their skills professionally in a variety of settings.
  • Make self-care a priority through the practices of journaling, yoga, movement exercises, nutrition, breathwork, and meditation.

Self-care and Mindfulness Immersions

Self-care and mindfulness classes cover practices to prevent burn-out, body care stretches, meditation, energy balancing, imagery and visualization, and strategic planning and goal setting. In this part of the program, we offer students an opportunity for rich self-discovery and exploration through yoga, meditation, journaling, and group discussion.
