When asked why students choose BMTI over other schools, most say, “I can’t explain it, it was just a feeling.” It’s often described as nurturing, warm, safe, accepting. A feeling of connection, peace. A feeling like you have arrived…
We have a thriving clinic where students get a real-world experience! Clients range in age and conditions. You will graduate having done enough massages to feel confident and skilled.
My time at BMTI was transformational. The program's holistic approach to massage therapy was the perfect container for me to learn and grow in many aspects of my life. The entire staff is supportive and rooting for you, not only in the program but beyond it. I’m so grateful for the community I found through BMTI.

As a Boulder Massage Therapy Institute graduate, I feel like it was such a tremendous experience and a worthwhile investment into the massage profession. What drew me to commit to BMTI were three things: 1) The Director's unique background as a bodyworker and business director, 2) The thoughtfulness placed in the design of the program, and 3) So many passionate, well-known educators to teach and inspire us.

The Boulder Massage Therapy Institute gave me the tools to be the most successful Massage Therapist I can be. The Full Time 625-hour program, was enjoyable, challenging and educational. I learnt not only about Massage Therapy but also about myself and what I am capable of. The school environment is nurturing, respectful and supportive. The clinic prepared me for the real world of Massage and I couldn't be more happy with deciding to go to BMTI! In fact, I felt it was such a valuable experience that I decided to continue on to complete the 750-hour Board Prep program.

The thoughtfulness that went into the material and integration of the classes at BMTI made me confident and ready to pursue my own private practice after graduation. I've since gone into full-time massage therapy, and left my 9-5 job behind. I continue to feel supported and encouraged by the staff and other alumni from BMTI, and see myself staying connected to them throughout my career in this industry.

As a graduate of the 5 month program at the Boulder Massage Therapy Institute, I can definitely say I made the right choice in schools for what will be a lifelong career. Everything about the school - from the teachers to the courses and curriculum, have nurtured the healer within me, in a way that has been both challenging and inspiring. There is no doubt in my mind that my experience at BMTI will have positive lifelong effects and I will always be grateful for having had the opportunity to be a student here.
