700-hour CMT Program with Somatic Bodywork and National Exam Prep
The Arcata School of Massage offers a balanced curriculum which includes both the clinical and the intuitive, providing practical training in both the art and the science of bodywork. A Certificate from ASM makes you eligible to take the National Certification Exam, required or accepted for Licensure or Certification in all but six states that have laws regulating massage. ASM is a California BPPVE Approved Vocational School.
We accept small classes of students who are dedicated to a life and a career of learning and service as professional therapists. Classes are scheduled to accomodate students who need to work while in school (see Course Schedules). We are now enrolling for Daytime classes (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and Evening classes (5 -9 p.m.).
Graduates of ASM know how to use their hands to promote and participate in the natural healing procesess – the magic – of the human body. You graduate ready to put your gifts at work in the spas, with Chiropractors and Physical Therapists, in holistic clinics, and in private practice. Every graduate of ASM who has sought employment is now working... and loving what they do.
All of our instructors work as therapists, and we teach from our experience as career professionals. The program includes Swedish Massage, Somatic Bodywork, Deep Tissue, Asian Bodywork, Therapeutic Treatements, Healing Chi Kung, Hot Stone Massage, Business and more. Our Applied Anatomy, Pathology, and Body Systems courses are hands-on preparation for the National Certification Exam. Our unique in-house clinic internship (included in the program) gives you real-world experience in a full-service massage clinic. Click here for complete program information.
