Help Others
We know that doing something brand new can be daunting, so our instructors are dedicated to helping you gain the confidence you need to provide an amazing consultation, build a custom treatment plan and send off your guests feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Work in a Variety of Environments
After receiving an education, you have the freedom to choose where you want your career to take you. Some potential careers or workplaces include:
- Massage and body-work specialist
- Spa owner
- Private practice
- Spa and/or health club therapist
- Spa manager
Have a Flexible Schedule
Most massage therapists are self-employed. Which means you can set your own schedule. You can decide if you want to work part-time or full-time, and schedule appointments around other obligations.
A Career You Can Start Quickly
You can start doing what you love sooner, often in as little as 6 months from first class to graduation, at which point you will be more than prepared to take the State of Michigan Therapy Licensing Exam. As part of our program, you can learn in the classroom, digitally and through hands-on demonstrations. When you are ready, we will support you as you start taking actual guests in our student spa. Our licensed instructors provide real feedback and assist you as you work toward becoming a licensed professional.
High Demand
The demand for licensed massage therapists is steadily on the rise. New massage therapy jobs are constantly being created in places such as nursing homes and office buildings.
