Frankly, the world is changing. People are realizing that traditional Western medicine alone is not the only answer for improving our wellness. More people than ever before are turning to complementary therapies like massage--even in difficult economic times. So while jobs are disappearing in other fields, we need more massage therapists and that need is expected to grow. But we need a new breed of massage therapists with not only excellent massage skills, but with business and marketing expertise, and the ability to help clients take charge of their own wellness professionally and ethically. We need holistic massage therapists. The Holistic Massage Therapy Certificate Program at the Pyramid Holistic Wellness Center prepares its students to become one of this new breed of professionals.
Quite honestly, there is nothing like the massage therapy training program at the Pyramid. With self-care as a guiding principle, students will start out with a very intense in-person weekend where they will learn all massage basics, become attuned to Reiki level I, and will experience two massages, Yoga classes, salt cave visits, and much more. The weekend will alternate between intense classroom and hands-on learning with self care and rejuvenation. In short, students will leave this workshop feeling wonderful and ready to tackle the learning required.
After this intense weekend, students then return to their lives, integrating distance learning over the Internet at their convenience. Each of the next ten modules will include videos, PowerPoint presentations, special reading assignments, and practical information on wellness, business, marketing, and ethics. Students progress to the next module as soon as they successfully complete a simple set of assignments. Students are also encouraged to do as much massage practice as possible during this time. At the completion of the distance modules, students then return to the Pyramid for the massage clinic experience. Here, they will receive expert supervision and fine-tuning of techniques, all while being part of a busy holistic wellness center clinical team. Massage clinic experiences are scheduled throughout the year, allowing students to complete the program on their own time frame. After a minimum of 200 clinical hours, students will then participate in a non-intimidating final exercise, and will receive their certificates with all of the knowledge necessary to sit for the national licensing exam. For students from states that require a 1000-hour program, we can adjust our program to make it work for you. Please contact us for more details. Our program has received an assigned school code from the NCBTMB. New classes start regularly.
