OUR VALUES

The mission of the Massage Therapy Program at The Oriental Healing Arts School of Massage Therapy is to stay true to the traditional art of training healers by focusing on the experiential self-cultivation methods of meditation, QiGong, Tai Chi, and Yoga as a foundation for the medicine being learned, and combining this with a high quality, thorough, and formal education of the subject matter.

Our program allows Massage Therapy to meet Oriental medicine, thus giving a specific direction for understanding pain and being able to relieve it in a highly effective way. Many non-needle techniques used in Oriental medicine are a valuable asset to a massage therapist trained to use them appropriately. Understanding and utilizing these techniques creates a skilled bodyworker.

Students will experience a dramatic change in their own health issues and attitudes as they receive regular massage, and then have the opportunity to be treated for specific issues using both massage therapy and non-needle aspects of Oriental medicine. This builds both confidence and belief in bodywork as a natural component to healing.

As the field of complimentary alternative medicine continues to grow, we expect our graduates to be highly sought after and employable in a wide variety of settings.

We strongly believe that the cultivated ability to touch others in a safe and caring manner builds one of the most basic and important aspects any healer can attain. This embodied knowledge will enhance all further education in medical and healing modalities that are subsequently studied and practiced.
