| MASSAGE THERAPY |
Healing Touch Career College is an exciting place to study and
learn about massage. Massage therapy is about intention,
commitment, spirituality, and holism. Our mission is to foster
high standards of ethical and professional massage therapy
practices. This will be accomplished through a high quality
education and training that assures the competency of the
practitioners of massage and body work. Our college is
dedicated to the personal development of our adult students
and to the advancement of the profession of massage therapy.
We aim to create graduates who are highly competent at
entry-level work in the field of massage.
Our massage program consists of both classroom and modular
coursework in massage training, as well as an internship
outside of class at school. Both courses and internship run
consecutively. Classroom hours consist of lecture, discussion,
demonstrations, and hands-on practice in a wide variety of
massage techniques. Students pair up and practice while
instructors provide one-on-one guidance. This environment
assists in students developing their massage skills, desirable
habits and attitudes, and on-the-job training.
The clinical internship program provides inexpensive massage
and spa treatments to the public. It is designed to provide a
real-life educational experience for our students, who work on
clientele in a supportive and safe environment. Their
confidence and skills expand while they learn the many intricate
aspects of practicing massage therapy.
Students also have opportunities to provide massage at
community events like health conferences, athletic races, and
fundraisers. These are important opportunities to educate and
serve the public, and those in need in our community.
Once all program requirements, which include the successful
completion of 766 clock hours and sitting for a Comprehensive
Licensure Exam approved by the state of Mississippi, as well as
financial obligations, are met, students are considered a
graduate of Healing Touch Career College. The students then
receive a diploma in a graduation ceremony. With a passing
score on the chosen exam and as a graduate of Healing Touch
Career College, students are eligible to apply for state
licensure as a massage therapist.
