The Exception to the Rule
If you seek holistic massage therapy education, consider the Berkana Institute for a lasting investment.
Berkana, one of the few Holistic Massage Institutes globally, explores therapeutic massage's multidimensional effects from a biopsychosocial perspective. We prioritize trauma-informed, evidence-based practices and emphasize mindful discipline to honor the human condition's delicate nature and the healing arts' transformative potential.
While most massage schools train Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) for spa jobs through intermediaries, Berkana highlights discernment in working relationships, self-empowerment, entrepreneurship, and longevity for graduates, many of whom will have private practices.
Berkana offers essential training for this courageous career path and the keys to success in our proven approach.
The Berkana Institute sets the standard for excellence with an elite, holistic program and a unique apprenticeship-style approach over 6 to 9 months, fostering growth and success.
Though Berkana's tuition is higher, our graduates achieve superior performance, quickly realizing a return on their investment with above-standard earnings.
For world-class holistic massage therapy training, Berkana Institute is the premier choice.
"Deliberately Saturating the Art of Bodywork with Consciousness"
“At Berkana, we understand that the benefits of massage therapy are amazing. We don't need to make up stories of magical healing to make it bigger than it already is, and we don't have to shrink the power of it to make it reasonable and comfortable for small minds.
While we should continue the search for why and how, we don't have to prove and fully comprehend the majesty of professional touch to ethically and mindfully provide it right now.
The simple truth of this work is that it is more powerful than any story someone can tell you. We know that we can’t fully understand the natural power of healing which belongs to all of us, and we are forever curious and eager to learn how to help others with this work as facilitators and encouragers of healing.”
