“The basic work of health professionals in general […] is to become full human beings and to inspire full human beingness in other people who feel starved about their lives.” — Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche, Full Human Beingness
Presence
When your mind, body, emotions are all present simultaneously for your client something magical happens. Not only do you love what you’re doing, fully engaged and focused, but your client feels seen, heard, and cared for. We offer you the opportunity for personal growth.
Body Mechanics
The way you use your body will determine how long your career is. There are specific techniques to use in order to have healthy and safe body mechanics for yourself in every massage for decades to come. We teach you these and you practice them over and over in this program.
Anatomy
Precise anatomical knowledge is gained in our program through hands on experience. While there will be many things for you to memorize, I guarantee you will find learning the muscles and bones easier than you ever have with our direct hands-on kinesiology classes.
Deep Tissue
This program will give you the tools you need to perform safe, effective, therapeutic deep tissue massages on the general public. You will gain techniques for working on every area of the body. We will also touch on working with specific populations.

What Our Graduates Are Saying.
Don’t just take it from us, let our graduates do the talking!
“The program taught me how to be more present and about how challenges in life can be overcome as well as how important “balance” is in life. I learned valuable skills including more awareness and presence with others and myself, to listen, caring, understanding, as well as much about the human anatomy, science, pathology and learning about all the important muscles and the places where clients are hurting.”
“Massage is a second career for me, and the choice to attend school did not come easily. I left my previous job — indeed entire career, relocated, and became a student again in my mid-30′s. I had an inkling that there just might be something to massage and bodywork that would help me feel more grounded in my own life, not to mention being a healing influence in others. And my instincts were gratified! To be frank, I wish my master’s degree had been as hands-on and concise as my 7 months at Mountain Meadows Massage. I am three months into my new career path, and I feel incredibly well-prepared. I know I have a lot more to learn in the massage and bodywork field, but the training I got with Mountain Meadows was an excellent grounding in the elements of this field.”
“Throughout the year I learned probably more about myself and also remembered things that I had forgotten thereby making it one of my best memories.”
