Wholistic Massage Therapy Program Curriculum (650 hours) - The first five and one half months of the Wholistic Health Practitioner Program is the Wholistic Massage Therapy Program. (WMT101 - WMT114)

Wholistic Health (380 hours) - Through the information and personal experience gained in this class, students acquire the knowledge necessary to educate their clients about the principles of Wholistic Health and to create Wholistic cleansing and rejuvenations programs designed to fit each clients specific needs and goals. “Healing from Within”, by creating a state of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual balance, is the foundation upon which these classes are built. Students come to understand that as Wholistic Health Practitioners, they can give healing energy only to the extent that they have healed themselves. The following series of classes are designed not only to teach students about these fundamental healing principles but also to provide them with personal experience they can use to create wholistic health programs for their clients. The three hundred and eighty hours include the following:

Mind (60 hours) - Students participate in group discussions on the “Universal Concepts” of life. The concepts that we are raised with do not always serve us as adults. Students rethink their understanding of marriage, relationships, parenting, work, money, health, family, etc (20 hours). A written term paper is required and is comprised of written assignments that are turned in and evaluated. This paper provides students with the opportunity to clarify their own “Universal Concepts” (40 hours). (WHP102)

Body (230 hours) - Students take a more in-depth look at how the body functions as we work towards creating optimal health. Each topic presented describes different healing modalities used and the associated physiologic changes and affects of that technique. Specific topics include:

(WHP105)

Student Intern Clinic (90 hours) This is an opportunity for students to integrate the information learned in class into Wholistic cleansing and rejuvenation programs for their clients. Working with the public provides them with the real-life experience needed to gain confidence in their skills. All aspects of running a clinic including working with clients, preparation of client forms, client intake, client follow-up, bookkeeping, record keeping, scheduling, etc. are presented. Students learn the art of preparing programs that are tailored to meet the specific needs and capabilities of each client. (WHP106)
