Our educational philosophy is one which embraces the concept that each of us can change and set new goals at any time in our lives. We can learn new skills, and with those skills, contribute to the greater good of society. We believe that education is a primary provider of opportunities to change.
Our educational mission is to provide courses of study which are practical and effective. They are designed to create successful, professional licensed massage therapists and estheticians and to support the learning and personal growth process of each student. We promote “freedom in learning” within an atmosphere of openness and intelligent inquiry. We teach many different methods and theories of bodywork and skin care. There is no “only way.”
Each modality taught is considered a tool to be used by the therapist for the benefit of the client. As conscientious instructors, we seek to model what we expect of professionals in the field. Massage therapy and esthetics are young and rapidly expanding fields, with new and effective techniques emerging constantly. We ensure that the training our students receive will reflect the most current trends in these fields. We ask our students to leave their past educational experiences and judgments about education behind when they enter our Institution, and to set no boundaries on what they think they can achieve.
Invariably, students change during the time they are with us. Their confidence, self-esteem, and relationship skills change; ways of viewing health and healing change; new horizons are opened; and these horizons will forever transform them in both subtle and compelling ways.
