We, the devoted staff of Spirit Wellness Institute, believe massage therapy creates an opportunity to heal through movement and introspection by communicating (via touch) that we are all truly and deeply deserving of wellness. We believe massage therapy is more than a physical routine, a practical knowledge of human anatomy, or a form of relaxation. In fact, we believe the practice is a "healing art" - a creative way for the therapist to create a container for wellness through both a physical and spiritual medium. Below are some ways that Massage Therapy school transforms you into a holistic healer.

1. Gain practical and spiritual knowledge of yourself in order to facilitate healing.

Becoming a holistic healer begins with knowing yourself. Spirit Wellness Institute prides itself on providing a program licensed through the Division of Professional Licensure’s Office of Private Occupational School of Education, which includes the state-mandated breakdown of hours between massage therapy instruction, anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, pathology, and ethics. These basics help you to unravel the marvels of the human form while learning how to cultivate health from within. Our clinical hours help you put your knowledge into practice in an experiential setting, providing the opportunity to integrate healing techniques while holding healing space for other like-minded students and guests. What makes our program unique is the offering to simultaneously hold space for spiritual knowledge and growth, in order to help you evolve into your grandest vision of self. Imagine graduating with not only physical knowledge, clinical experience and credentials that will allow you to apply for a license, but spiritual enhancement and the practice of working from a place of wholeness as well!

2. Use your knowledge to connect the body and mind through movement.

Once you've completed your training, you'll be able to communicate wellness through massage therapy in a physical and spiritual way. You'll understand that health is not just about the physical body, and you'll have the tools to manifest an atmosphere of relaxation and healing in your practice through your own attitude and environment. You'll understand how to weave knowledge of the physical body with the dynamics of the energetic and divine aspects of being. Your continued practice in the healing arts will continue to help you grow spiritually, too!

3. Become a resource for people to feel safe and whole.

One of the benefits of becoming a holistic healer is the chance to inspire others to lead lives of healing in their own ways. We believe all people can become healers! As a massage therapist, you'll find your flexible lifestyle allows you to live with lower stress naturally; working less and making more money. This calmer outlook on work/life balance flows through you over time, and allows you to offer embodied wisdom to your repeat clients while developing supportive and long term relationships as a care provider. What could be more satisfying than that?
