text: We are looking for dedicated massage school owners who are ready to bring excellence back to massage school education by opening a massage school.
  Last week, my team was at the AMTA National Convention in Indianapolis and we met with countless massage therapists who all had the SAME concerns: the quality of education for massage therapists has slipped over the years and their city is in desperate need of a quality massage school. The need is so high that we are putting out the call to find dedicated massage school owners who are ready to get started and improve the quality of massage education in their city.
  In fact, there were so many concerns that we were approached my twice as many people as the convention last year in Washington DC.
  Our done-for-you massage school system makes opening a massage school easy. Nearly everything is completely done for those who move forward, and it’s provided by a massage therapist with 10 years of experience owning not just 1 but 2 massage school campuses.
  I’ve been a massage therapist since 2006, graduating from Bodymechanics School of Myotherapy & Massage in Olympia Washington.
  I didn’t know it at the time, but Washington State is considered a leader in the massage industry. What I did know was that I needed to make a change in my life, that I never wanted another boss and I needed a salary that would allow my family to continue living at the level we were accustomed to…
  I trusted Bodymechanics School to provide me with the tools I needed to meet my goals.
  I’ve experienced a lot of difficulties over the years, and making a change to massage therapy was the BEST thing I could have ever done. I graduated in 2006 and bought Bodymechanics School in 2010 when the owner closed the school due to the economy.
  Today, students enrolled in massage schools have been let down on the same promise for excellence I received in 2006. They feel unprepared for the demands of the career and dissatisfaction with the profession has grown.
  It’s time to change the system. My done-for-you program is designed to help LMTs succeed as massage school owners and raise the quality of education.

  Shari has experienced moments where she HAD to push through some very hard stuff and grow personally and professionally.
  This program was created by a massage therapist, for massage therapists to help them open their own massage school to bring excellence back to massage education.
  Demand for high-quality massage therapists has never been higher in this country. Massage school owners have an opportunity to be part of one of the fastest growing professions, year after year, in the US. As the need grows, the demand for qualified massage therapists will continue to grow. At Bodymechanics Institute, we recognize this important need – and we’ve developed a done-for-you system that will help you quickly open your own massage school using a tried and true program offering full support through the process with our team of experts.
  This is NOT a franchise
  In fact, I call it the “anti-franchise” program. It’s a program for you to utilize that will help you quickly start your own massage school. Why is this important? The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the growing need for massage therapists:
  Bureau of Labor Statistics says:
  Employment of massage therapists is projected to grow 22 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. Continued growth in the demand for massage services will lead to new opportunities for school ownership.

  Additionally, there has been a significant decrease in the number of massage schools over the past decade. Many small, proprietary schools closed during the recession in the US between 2008-2011 unable to finance student tuition payments. Larger for-profit schools swooped in and began offering financial aid programs, further contributing to the smaller school closures who couldn’t offer the same programs due to high cost.
  Most massage therapists know the challenges that the large for-profit schools brought to the massage industry.
  Relationships were built with the larger massage chains due to the demands of the federal financial aid programs that demanded schools show job placement. This scenario created a massage school mill, graduating therapists who were not well prepared for the demands of the career. Further complicating the problem was the promise of salary earnings fell short. LMTs were working many hours and not earning a livable wage.
  Dissatisfaction over the past few years has grown.
  This model has further proven to be a challenge as the larger, for-profit schools has largely fallen on the promise to graduate therapists who could pass national certification exams and who then defaulted on student loans. Today, we are witnessing the Department of Education closing several of the large, for-profit schools for these reasons.
  But…. there has been a positive outcome in that the public is asking (demanding) massage therapy to be included in their healthcare. They are beginning to understand the benefits.
  According to the AMTA, approximately 18% of the US population has discussed massage therapy with their physicians, and of those nearly 60% were referred out to a massage therapist.
  This has led to the perfect scenario for YOU to share your passion for massage by opening your massage school. A decrease in the number of massage schools, large for-profit schools folding and an increasing amount of the US population asking their healthcare provider for massage therapy.
  Frankly put, we cannot keep up with demand.
