Are you seeking a meaningful career change, additional income or a way to effectively care for others? A part time or full time career as a Massage Therapist may be an excellent solution. The number of Americans receiving massages has more than doubled in the last decade (now over 114 million treatments per year) and the profession has consistently been one of the fastest growing in the country in recent years. 

Massage therapy has become widely accepted by both the public and the medical community. No longer just an enjoyable means of relieving stress, massage has become an important component in treating many types of injuries and medical conditions as well as enhancing athletic performance.

A comprehensive program in therapeutic massage. The Wellness Massage Center & Institute has been in operation in St. Albans since 1995. The dynamic 500-hour curriculum is grounded in science and effective techniques so that all students graduate with solid foundational skills. Special attention has been given to the requirements of the National Board of Massage (NCBTMB) so that graduating students are prepared to test for national certification. We have former students working in spas, chiropractic offices, physical therapy businesses, and private practices.

Experienced, accomplished faculty. Our faculty is comprised of nationally licensed instructors with 28 years of combined bodywork experience. Our teachers have maintained thriving practices while regularly honing their own skills through continuing education. This experience and education translates to better training and more efficient learning for students new to the art and science of bodywork.

Financial aid available. Qualifying students have received grants through VSAC for up to 60% of the cost of the course.
