Stop Wondering If Massage Therapy Is Right for You

Get Your Hands On It


Before you commit to a 600-hour program, spend a few hours experiencing what it’s actually like to learn massage therapy.

You can read about the career. You can talk about the profession. You can research schools and compare programs. But there’s a better way to find out if massage therapy is right for you: Try it.

At a BIMMI Open House, you’ll step into our classroom, experience a mini version of a real massage therapy class, learn basic techniques, and actually get your hands on the table—with guidance from our instructors.

By the end, you’ll have a much better idea of what massage school is really like and whether you can see yourself doing this as a career.

See What Massage School Is Really Like

Forget the sales pitch. Experience it for yourself.

1.

Learn

Get a taste of the classroom. Start with a mini-lecture covering the history of massage, who massage therapists work with, the benefits of massage, and important contraindications. You’ll learn some of the same foundational concepts that are part of professional massage therapy training at BIMMI.

2.

Practice

Get your hands on the table. Watch a guided demonstration, then practice an introductory Swedish massage sequence yourself—with step-by-step instruction and coaching. No experience necessary. Just come ready to participate.

3.

Decide

Find out if this career feels right for you. Ask questions, talk with our Director, and get honest answers about massage therapy as a career—including licensure, training, schedules, tuition, and what comes next.  You don’t have to decide whether to enroll that day. You just have to decide whether you want to explore it.

What Will You Get Out of the Open House?

By the time you leave, you’ll have:

  • Experienced a real BIMMI classroom environment before enrolling
  • Learned the basics of Swedish massage and practiced a beginner sequence
  • Learned about the day-to-day work of a professional massage therapist
  • Discovered whether you enjoy the hands-on nature of massage therapy
  • Had the opportunity to ask questions about training, licensure, schedules, and tuition
  • A much clearer sense of whether massage therapy could be the right career for you

The best way to know if massage therapy is your path?

Try it.
