The School for International Bodywork and The Green Mountain Institute for Integrative Therapy invites you to learn massage with us in locations of outstanding natural beauty.

Learn to give what many recipients tell our students is the best massage they have ever had, a massage that feels as good to give as to receive.

All of our courses are small, allowing us to give personalized attention well beyond that usually available in massage schools. We always try to teach each student according to how she or he learns best.

All our faculty are holistic practitioners with extensive experience in their field. They are also caring teachers, dedicated to helping your training be a journey of self-exploration.

Through experiential exercises that draw on physical, energetic, meditative and emotional approaches, we work towards increasing your ability to be present, in the moment, fully alive and in your hands.

The more present you are, and the more alive your touch, the greater the quality of your contact with your client. Your work touches a deeper level. Relaxation is profound. At the same time your work is highly invigorating.

Dramatic results, even life changing ones, can occur.
