An Empowering Educational Experience:
Becoming a Massage Therapist requires learning much more than a few massage techniques and strokes. You’ll need an understanding of Anatomy, Physiology, and the Mind/Body connection. In addition, you’ll have opportunity to refine your newly learned skills with plenty of hands-on practice. As a student at Healing Hands, you’ll actively give and receive massage daily, which can be a healing process by itself. Students learn to relate to one-another with compassion in an environment conducive to both personal and professional growth.
- Flexibility and Variety:
According to Harmony Curtiss, Director for Healing Hands School of Holistic Health – Laguna Hills, “our career placement department receives jobs from a variety of top Massage Therapist Employers. These include jobs for Doctor’s offices; Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Physical therapy clinics; as well as health resorts, Spas, Salons, Franchises and Bodywork Specialty Clinics. You can also start your own solo-practice. Working at a home-based or mobile practice, visiting clients at their home or office.
- Bright Job Outlook:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/fastest-growing.htm), the occupation of Massage Therapist is one of 20 occupations with the highest percent change of employment between 2016-26. Growth projected at 26% vs the average 7% for most other industries. The average annual income for Massage Therapists is $39,990 with the top 10% earning as much as $70 K.
- Power to Positively Impact Others:
One of the most common reasons Massage Therapists give for pursuing their career, is their desire to help others. As a Professional Massage Therapist, you’ll have the ability to relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, increase range of motion, boost circulation, speed healing, improve posture and enhance mental well-being. That’s why the Healing Hands’ Faculty refers to our students/graduates as Healers. To date, they’ve empowered over 7,000 Healers to positively impact their clients’ quality of life.
- Become Self-Employed:
While many Massage Therapists choose to gain experience working in a Massage Clinic or Spa, eventually most choose to work as an independent contractor or solo-practitioner. This option affords Massage Therapists the ultimate control over their schedules and income. Toward that end, Healing Hands offers courses like Community Service Internship, Massage as a Business and Professional Practices that include topics such as career development, budgeting, business operations, business ethics and client communications.
