Get Hands-On Training & Real World Experience

Massage is a “hands-on” career. At WellSpring we strongly believe that’s the way it should be taught and learned. As a WellSpring massage student, you’ll receive hands-on instruction from experienced Massage Therapists within the interactive and supportive learning environment of our Kansas City, Springfield, Wichita, and Lawrence branches. You’ll also develop your skills helping actual clients during a clinical internship at the WellSpring Student Clinic. With real-world experience before you graduate, you’ll feel confident you have the expertise to thrive as you transition from student to massage professional.

WellSpring’s Massage Therapy classes cover a wide range of therapeutic techniques, including:

• Swedish Massage
• Hydro Therapy
• Reflexology
• Sports Massage
• Perinatal Massage
• Massage for Older Adults
• Intermediate Massage Techniques
• Neuromuscular Massage
• Integrative Massage
• Hot Stone Massage

Beyond technique, you’ll earn a CPR certification and learn the anatomy, pathology, practical communication and business training skills it takes to turn Massage Therapy into a rewarding career.

Enrich The Lives Of Others & The World

People are increasingly seeking guidance about how to maintain a healthier, more natural lifestyle. Our program goes beyond massage training to include basic wellness curriculum that will empower you to help others live well. As a WellSpring massage student, you receive basic training in general wellness, nutrition, and lifestyle-management skills. Students are also taught when to refer a client to a specialist in these fields. It’s all part of the integrative health care model that is the foundation of the educational experience at WellSpring School of Allied Health.

Become A Licensed Massage Therapist

In the State of Missouri, and most major municipalities in Kansas, Massage Therapists are required to first complete a recognized program like WellSpring’s, and then pass the national Massage Board Licensing Exam (MBLEx) to become licensed to practice. At 90%, WellSpring boasts a student pass rate that is well above the 74% national average! You’ll earn enough hours to certify in Kansas, Missouri, and most other states across the country.

“I must say that I am so happy to be a WellSpring graduate! There has not been one day that I have regretted coming to this school. Everyone here is so lovely and kind and smart. The instructors are the BEST! You can tell they genuinely care about us and our education. I rave about this place whenever I get the chance.
