Overview

The arena of holistic health and alternative medicine has expanded greatly in recent years. Massage therapy is more accepted by the medical field as an effective healing modality than ever before. Massage is also becoming more respected as an economically viable career path, as increasing numbers of massage practitioners are establishing successful businesses and private practices. The general public increasingly understands that massage practitioners are educators as well as healing professionals, teaching their clients vital information and awareness of their own bodies.

Massage practitioners who want to be successful need special training that focuses on personal and professional development. Our program at the Mount Madonna Institute School of Professional Massage provides essential instruction in anatomy, body mechanics, and communication skills as well as in professional ethics and business development. We also focus on developing the practical skills of a massage practitioner by giving students opportunities for extensive supervised hands on experience.

The Massage Practitioner training fulfills the requirements of the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education for the practice of massage in the State of California. Our School of Professional Massage offers100 hr and 200 hr state approved programs in 12 day and weekend intensives, all within a beautiful, supportive residential setting.
