Our Massage Therapy program offers a variety of holistic therapies that are adjunctive to massage such as reflexology, deep tissue release, breath work, trigger points and sports massage. We offer students experience in a wide variety of settings to best prepare them for the outside world – treating the mind, body and spirit as a whole entity.

The Massage Therapy Diploma or Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Program is dedicated to the training of skilled massage therapist through a program with emphasis on ethics, professionalism, disciplined study, skillful practice, and a belief in an alternative approach to health care. The program objective is to develop proficiency and confidence in therapeutic massage techniques. Students learn massage skills, develop a comprehensive understanding of the structure and function of the body, and the effects of massage therapy on the body. They gain an understanding of the benefits and limitations of massage therapy, and the knowledge necessary to refer clients to other professional health care givers when appropriate.
