Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School in Iowa
The Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School in Iowa is dedicated to taking a leading role in bringing the massage therapy profession to the level of a true holistic healing art.
Body Wisdom is fully accredited with the State of Iowa, The Iowa Massage Board, the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) and the National Certification Board as a recognized massage therapy education provider.
The Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School was created as an answer to the ever growing demand by prospective massage students looking for massage schools that offer a "customized approach" to massage therapy education.
Our 750-1500 Hour Massage Therapy Certification Programs put you in the driver’s seat both in choosing a curriculum specifically tailored to meet your career objectives and in choosing the timing and schedule that best fits your current lifestyle.
We feel certain that as you explore the Body Wisdom Opportunity that you will find, as our many graduates have, that Body Wisdom not only has the very best training available in Iowa but also one of the top programs in the entire country.
Body Wisdom is the "Difference that Makes a Difference". We have designed our program specifically to "make a difference where it counts" starting with our national/local faculty and top-notch curriculum, down to our unique modular training approach.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Body Wisdom 11-Point Advantage Program:
1) Body Wisdom “Career Track”, Customized Curriculums of 750-1500 Hours: Our program is NOT a “One Size Fits All Approach” where all students go through the same curriculum. We have designed The Body Wisdom Career Track Program with flexibility, choice and expandability in mind. With Career Track, in addition to your comprehensive Core Curriculum of 500 Hours, you are able to choose from over “1000” Hours of Career Track electives to make up the balance of your customized program of anywhere from 750-1500 hours.
2) Take "Evening-Weekend Classes", "Day Classes" or a Mix of Both: Choose a mix of days and hours that best suits your lifestyle.
3) Multiple Start Times Throughout the Year: Because of our unique Modular Approach to Massage Therapy Education, you can start your program virtually any month of the year and then go-at-your-own-pace.
4) Top Notch "National" as well as Local Faculty: In addition to our highly qualified local faculty, we bring some of the best teachers from around the country to teach your elective courses right here in Iowa at Body Wisdom.
5) Super Learning Environments: In interviewing and working with 100's of applicants and students each year we know how important the right learning environment is to our students. That's why we have installed state-of-the-art Digital Projectors on the ceilings and Bose Sound Systems in all classrooms to create what we call "Massage Theatre", a "Super Learning Environment" with Video, DVD, Audio, Power Point and Live Internet capability. Super Learning Environments transfer information to students in the three main leaning modes, visual (looking at static or moving pictures), auditory (hearing instructions or explanations) and kinesthetic (guided hands-on learning.) When you combine all three at the same time the deepest learning takes place.
6) The Best Business and Marketing Training for Massage Therapists in the US: The SECRET to creating a "thriving practice" in the massage therapy business is to use a marketing SYSTEM that goes WAY beyond the traditional approach. That's why we have spent over three years researching and developing "The Body Wisdom Massage Marketing System". In our Exclusive 58-Hour Massage Business and Marketing Training you won't be "learning about" marketing. You will be digging in and designing your successful career NOW so you will be ready-to-go when you graduate
7) On-line Tutoring for Anatomy and Physiology: When students are studying, doing homework or preparing for exams they will have free, unlimited, live-access to an experienced on-line tutor familiar with their text, who is prepared to help during designated “Live-Hours.” Students and an e-instructor communicate by means of a White Board via text messaging. During other (non-live) times, students can submit questions and even assignments and reports for review, and receive a reply usually within 24 hours. Each student has their own password and archive to keep track of all their teacher-student communications. (Available after June 1st)
8) The Body Wisdom On-Line Connections Center is a Black Board and WebCt based on-line, E-Learning environment that provides dynamic book-specific supplements and other learning resources such as content updates, web links, downloadable images, review questions, class discussions and much more. Black Board and WebCt are used by thousands of colleges and universities world wide and now Body Wisdom is bringing that same level of E-Learning technology to its massage students.
9) “Members Only” On-Line Resource Center: 100’s of pages of resources, links, streaming video and audio, documents, downloads, discussion boards and much more for staying up-to-date with new techniques, innovations and offerings in the world of massage and bodywork. These resources are designed to support you in promoting and managing your massage business whether you work for yourself or someone else. Our "Job Hotline Listings" keep you up to date with the latest job opportunities.
10) In-House Training Videos and On-Line Streaming Video
We are currently developing a DVD/Video tape series to complement our 150-Hour Therapeutic Massage Series which will provide the video component for our exclusive step-by-step illustrated training manuals. These training manuals and accompanying DVD/Video tapes contain the proprietary Body Wisdom approach to massage and bodywork that goes far beyond the “standard techniques” contained in the massage and bodywork texts normally available to massage schools. Note: Our “Body Wisdom Members Only” Resource Center contains many additional hours of streaming video of massage and bodywork techniques provided free of charge to Body Wisdom Graduates for review of techniques and courses.
11) Externship and Community Outreach Programs: Externship programs with the Des Moines Menace and Drake College give students the real world experience that can help launch their careers in the world of Sports Massage and other modalities. Community Outreach Chair Massage events in venues such as Hospitals, Assisted Living Facilities, Offices, Schools, Churches, Sporting Events, Fundraisers, and Runs and Walks among many others, give our students valuable hands-on experience and confidence working with the public that supports their success in their own practice later.
