College of Massage and the Healing Arts Center

Attention to detail makes all the difference in enhancing and supporting the massage experience for your clients. This includes preparing the environment prior to the session and preparing yourself as well. Meditation, of which an introduction is included in this class, can be very helpful in the preparatory stage. Other techniques can be used during a session to enhance the experience. You will learn that Aromatherapy has healing powers beyond just pleasant scents.

In the Hydrotherapy class, you will apply learning about the circulatory system (from your Anatomy and Physiology class) to the hands-on use of heat and cold applications. As for music, it’s common knowledge that special music can enhance the massage experience. But in this class, we explore beyond the “obvious music choices” for massage and expand our understanding of “sound”.
