Many of the schools you identify, including Cortiva-Watertown, are highlighted on my website at Massage Schools Guide. I must say that this overview of the options in the Boston area is truly impressive. If you are still active on this blog and read this comment I would love to have you write of your experiences as a student for our website. Let me know.

Your blog is beautifully written, insightful and informative.

As a fellow potential career changer who is considering massage therapy, I was wondering if you are currently enrolled in massage school, and if so, if it’s meeting your expectations?

Best Wishes

Comment on Why a Career in Massage Therapy? My Reasons for Pursuing This Path by Julie

I came to the massage profession after 12 years in the photography profession where everyone needed everything yesterday. The owner of the company was off sailing around the world in his custom made sail boat and I was left dealing with all the stressed out photographers. There had to be a better way.

I can’t say that being a massage therapist has really been all it was made out to be according to the massage schools etc. That’s why I now write about the whole profession and the real challenges of being a successful massage therapist.

I initially thought I would just be helping others and that would make for a more meaningful career. I now know it is way more than that and has little to do with helping others. Helping implies that people are not capable of healing on their own. I now know it is more about taking care of myself so that I can be present for others and witness their healing process.

The same reasons that I came into the massage profession were the same reasons that I almost left about 10 years ago after ending burned out from giving too much.

I still do love it and have a humbling appreciation for the process that continues to deepen and expand as I do.

You’ve written a wonderfully balanced, well thought out piece on choosing a massage school! I suggest you consider our school which is opening a second branch in Acton on October 7th. We are The Massage School, based out of Easthampton. I’m the director, Alexei Levine. In addition to being licensed by the MA DOE, I’m currently serving my second term as a member of the advisory council to the department of Education. We will be offering a scholarship of $2,000.00 to all students admitted to our inaugural class in Acton! This will bring your total tuition down to $3,600.00! We have been operating since 2001 in Easthampton, and we take great pride in providing an excellent, hands-on oriented program. You can check out our website at http://www.TheMassageSchool.org

We’re going to Bumpkin next weekend and we’re really looking forward to it. Is there anything we should know in terms of preparing or what to bring?

I started out because years ago, I loved it. I just had a very bad experience in a massage class and I do not know if I will pursue it.
