Mountain Meadow Massage School

Why Mountain Meadow Massage School?
7 month, 716 hour Massage Therapy Certification Program

Our Teaching Focus –

• How to be truly present with your clients
• Precise knowledge of the muscles and bones
• Techniques for giving an effective and relaxing massage

Our emphasis is on teaching you how to be truly present for your clients, holistically integrating mind, body and spirit. Presence paired with precise knowledge of the human body and techniques will equip you with the skills necessary to give your clients the highest quality of care available, and therefore stand apart in the industry. While presence is our main focus, anatomical knowledge and skill with techniques is a close second. We do not neglect academics to focus on energetics. Rather, the two are interwoven in our unique program.

Our Location –

• Charming small town with less distractions
• 10,000ft mountain with skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and biking
• Classroom located right downtown, directly on the river

Come awaken the healing energy within you in our high desert mountain town of Ruidoso. A relatively small town, Ruidoso affords a quiet and peaceful environment ideal for awakening the healing, sensitive energy within you. Get rid of distractions and get centered. The school itself is located conveniently downtown, near shopping and restaurants, with a view of Rio Ruidoso right out the big windows as you give and receive massage.

Our Price –

• Affordable
• Competitively priced

Our cost is competitive with schools in our area. In fact, among privately owned massage schools in New Mexico, we are one of the most affordably priced. While payment plans are available, our school is not currently eligible for financial aid or government grants (FAFSA).

Small Class Size –

• Between 8 and 15 students in your class

Being in a small town, our classes tend to be small, between 5 and 13 students, on average. Get the personalized attention you deserve. Work one on one with our instructors and sometimes even receive professional massage in class. Because of our small class size, we are able to give what is close to an apprenticeship, in terms of working closely with instructors. We find this arrangement produces some of the most effective and experienced therapists.

Yoga –

• Participate in a 60 minute yoga class twice a week

Awareness in movement is a large part of our program, in the form of Yoga. We believe that therapists who are aware of their bodies, and know how to move them properly, will have a career with longevity. Practice yoga twice a week, overlooking Rio Ruidoso.
