The completion of the 1000 hour program of instruction prepares students to sit for the licensing exam in New York. The Finger Lakes School of Massage emphasizes the development of knowledge and skill, professional preparation and working with self-understanding. The primary goal of the Finger Lakes School of Massage is to promote personal awareness through touch. Our students are invited to learn massage in a context of personal inquiry and empowerment. When massage is offered in a caring, mutually respectful environment we have found it to be a nourishing practice that can promote health, acceptance and compassion.
Emphasis is placed on learning in a supportive environment.
We recognize the value of individual needs within the learning process and our staff makes an effort to attend to those needs. We encourage our students to use this program as a tool for personal growth and professional development. As part of our graduate support, we maintain a directory of our graduates.
