Welcome to the only California State certified massage school in Humboldt County!

Our school has been approved for online and hybrid classes during the pandemic.

State Certification News during COVID-19:

Taken from the California Massage Therapy Council's website:
"Passage of a CAMTC approved exam is not currently required for CAMTC Certification. While the law previously imposed this requirement, the requirement to pass a CAMTC approved exam has been suspended through December 31, 2022."

Get your 500 hours completed before December 31, 2022 and you will not need to take the MBlex!  Call our  Director Hilary Miyagishima with any questions or to have us send a transcript to the CAMTC so you can take advantage of this law before it expires.
