From the Director

The BTCSM honors each student as an individual and designs its programs to take into account the different learning styles and ways those students take in and process information. Our programs are designed to be interactive in nature to allow the mind and body to learn simultaneously. Our students have the opportunity to further their personal development while becoming a professional massage therapist.

Our educational goals are as follows:

1. To design and deliver educational programs of the highest quality that convey the art, science, academic and technical knowledge, clinical skills, sensitivity and awareness to meet the needs of today's massage professional.

2. To educate students to develop into massage professionals that are skilled, responsible, and ethical and understand the importance of continued development both personally and professionally.

3. To educate students to the holistic nature of massage therapy while providing them with the knowledge and confidence to interface with medical and other allied health professionals.

4. To educate students about themselves.

Each student at the BTCSM contributes to this school in a wonderful and unique way. By actively participating in this massage program you will enrich your experience and the school. The heart of this program depends on open and honest communication, may this handbook serve as a tool to understand the school's policies.
