Just an aside here:

If you are worried about the job market, don't!

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics states, "Employment of massage therapists is projected to grow 22 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. Continued growth in the demand for massage services will lead to new openings for massage therapists."

AND

The Department of Veterans Affairs has classified massage therapy as a "high-demand occupation" and reclassified it as a program which qualifies under the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program.

COME BE A PART OF IT!

Have you noticed the natural health movement? More and more people are beginning to take charge of their health. They are seeking quality nutrition, more movement, and real healthcare. Massage therapy is proving to be an important part of this growing demand for natural solutions to health problems. It is satisfying to have the professional skills to help people grappling with musculoskeletal pain, range of motion restrictions, stress-related disorders and more.

At WSMT we are excited to get our next classes off the ground. You can join us and become a professional massage therapist in as little as 10 months! You can be in the driver's seat for this wonderful work once you complete your training and obtain your state license. We're here to help you make your dreams come true.

Here's a quote from one of our recent graduates about the work she is now doing:

"Working as a massage therapist I get to come in contact with so many people with so many different stories of defeat and victory. It’s nights like these, when I get to hear parts of their journey, that I’m floored, humbled, and honored that I get to share in this part of their journey. I absolutely LOVE my job. I love my clients. I love that I get to share God’s love, even if it’s not verbally. Today was beautiful." Reanna, 2019 Graduate
