Our uniqueness lies in our emphasis on Bodywork as a spiritual art.

Though we don't advocate any particular spiritual teaching, our classes take place in a meditative environment that encourages cultivation of subtle inner awareness and deep presence. We also advocate experiential learning and personal attention where each student is worked with individually to assure mastery of the techniques taught.

What is your philosophical approach to massage?
We believe that massage therapy has the potential to provide healing that extends beyond the physical body and that skilled touch can create a doorway to deep healing on the physical, emotional , mental and spiritual levels. We believe that the state of consciousness and quality of touch of the practitioner deeply influences the potential for healing and that cultivation of presence, unconditional compassion and meditative awareness are an indispensable component of bodywork training.

All of our instructors have at least 15 years of full time professional experience in the field, and 90% of them have over 20 years of experience, with at least 10 years of teaching experience. This expansive depth of experience, a deep passion for their work and a spiritual orientation in their view of massage and bodywork distinguish all of our instructors as masters and pioneers in their field.
