Who we are; what we stand for. Hands on Healing
Institute is a holistic school teaching
the connection of the mind, body and spirit to facilitate healing. We believe that just learning the technique
of massage is not enough to facilitate healing. Throughout the MT250 Program you will be taught how to connect
to and help facilitate healing in your client through:
Proper touch
Grounding
Centering Being
totally present
Setting the right intention You will be learning from teachers who practice what they
teach and love sharing their knowledge. We have created a loving, safe environment for you to learn
and grow…spiritually, emotionally and physically. You will learn much about yourself, your
bodies and your emotions. Our students
tell us that their experience at HHI is life changing. I often have heard our
therapists say they feel as good as their clients after giving a massage. So, if you want a profession that enables you to help others
while helping yourself, massage therapy is right for you. Our continuing education offers many hours of advanced electives so you can add to your certified hours,
continue your education and understand more fully the mind, body, spirit
connection to facilitate healing. The
choices of what modalities and how many hours of training you wish to
accumulate are up to you. You can help change the world one client at a time. Blessed be, Cami Sandroni Director/Owner Open

DESCRIPTION
Anatomy
& Physiology
A basic knowledge of
anatomy and physiology is necessary in learning the theory and practice of therapeutic
massage. Students will study the
structures and functions of the human body in order to know when, where, and
how to apply massage movements for the most beneficial results. Students will also study Medical
Terminology and Contraindications. These classes are presented in a way that
makes it easy and fun for the student to learn.
Business
Practices & Marketing
This class gives
students the skills needed to begin and promote a successful massage
practice. Some of the subjects
discussed are: business cards,
licensing, places of possible employment, types of clients you would like to
work on and much more. This is the
class where all your questions are answered.
Chair
Massage
Basic techniques of
chair massage and a “15 minute” therapeutic chair massage routine will be
demonstrated and practiced. Simple
business ideas for massage will be discussed and students will learn First
Aid tips for chair massage. This modality is becoming highly popular and can
be offered on-site at offices, health food stores, marathons, schools, and
more.
Health/Hygiene
& Ethics
This class will give
the students the knowledge needed to protect themselves and their clients
through health and hygiene. Ethics of
massage therapy will also be studied and discussed.
Music
& Massage
This innovative
class focuses on an important element of a professional massage therapist’s
practice: the music. Experience the effects of various genres of
music on freedom and style of body movement, fluidity, emotion, and
memory. Learn invaluable information
about how music affects our movement and flow.
The
Facial Web (Structural Bodywork)
This class
introduces a therapeutic model of bodywork, a category referred to as
structural bodywork. It introduces the student to a specialized approach to
doing deeper massage work. This work can stand alone as modalities like deep
tissue, myofascial release and sports massage, or can be integrated into a
wellness therapy such as Swedish massage. Benefits can include increased
range of motion, ease of movement, improved posture, increased healing of
injured areas, and increased athletic performance.
Swedish
Massage
Massage therapy is
an ancient healing art. This course focuses on the power of touch and how
massage affects the mind, body and spirit and helps to facilitate the body’s
healing process. The importance of
Health & Hygiene, Indications and Contraindications for massage is also
studied. The emphasis of the practical
training is a 50-minute and a 80-minute, full-body
Swedish massage routine. The five
basic Swedish strokes are taught:
effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration
and tapotement, and their variations. Students not only learn the basics of
massage; but also are encouraged to develop their own style. Interrelated topics are also taught during
Swedish classes including: meditation as a tool for massage therapists to
help in calming the mind and focusing before a session; and breathwork techniques and guided dialogue to expand your
capacity for freedom, power, and joy; and, movement awareness, giving you a
conscious experience of lasting ease and relaxation in your body. These
skills are essential to training and needed in order to help others through
massage and deep tissue work.
