BCI believes healing happens through sensation and awareness. Teaching students to be present in their own bodies, allows them to learn through a felt sense of their own present moment experience. Increasing body awareness provides students with the skills to be fully present with their clients and to assist their clients in developing awareness as well.

All education at BCI is based on the idea that we believe it is an honor to touch another human being. Massage/bodywork therapy is more than a technique of skilled hands, it is an art that respectfully touches the body, mind and spirit. The results of this type of integrative healing have a profound effect on the person, family, community and world.

The objective of the Massage/Bodywork Therapist program is to train students to acquire satisfactory skills and to demonstrate competence in massage and bodywork. Upon satisfactory completion of the training, students will be qualified to sit for the NCTMB NELS Exam or Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) Exam. Both are national exams check with your state to see which exam your state accepts for licensure. A passing grade on the national exam will enable the student to apply to the state of Iowa licensed states for licensure as a massage therapist. Once licensed, the student can apply for entry-level positions as a massage therapist.
