Educational Institution
We are a holistic, heart-centered massage certification offering students the highest quality healing arts education available. Students are well prepared for the job market by learning to integrate intuition with medical massage techniques. Our 625 hour certification is unique in that it is designed for people who are interested in studying massage therapy without having to relocate or interrupt their current occupation and/or family life, with classes meeting monthly for a 5-day intensive. It's designed to fit your busy lifestyle and your budget. Our small grass-roots program aims to meet the unique needs of each group and each individual in the group. The intimate size of this program promotes in-depth learning on a personal and professional level. Each student will leave equipped with the necessary skills for a successful practice as a professional massage therapist. Attention is placed on versatility and creativity. Students will learn the theory and application of many different types of massage, and will be guided to finding and developing their own style of therapeutic bodywork so that it comes from the heart. This is complimented by improving the student's quality of touch, and therefore the quality of treatment given. We recognize that learning massage therapy is quite different from learning many other skills. For this reason, we employ an alternative and eclectic teaching style that appeals to the kinesthetic faculties while honoring other types of understanding. It is our emphasis on experiential learning that shapes this practice-oriented program. Balance is the key concept at Healing Spirits. We explore how to do specific and technical work while maintaining the integrity and spirit of both client and therapist. We believe that personal awareness through touch is invaluable to hands-on therapy. It is through this awareness, along with practical training, that inspiration for a life long career in massage therapy can evolve.
