First and foremost, we at the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy are on a crusade to remind everyone that Massage Therapy is an art form.
Massage Therapy is not a technical skill in itself, and only utilizes technique as one tool along with many other cultivated skills in order to meet the needs of our clientele and express the art of bodywork in a fluid and creative way.
Mindfulness, compassion, personal skills, intuition, humor, courage, respect, scientific knowledge of the human body, and a dash of awe are but some of the essential ingredients necessary to begin to explore the potential of being a fulfilled bodywork artist, who is making a positive impact on the world at large.

The Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy is intentionally different.
We do not follow current industry trends in massage therapy education, and we are extremely proud of, and committed to our stance.
We are the minority, championing the "old school" approach to massage therapy education while integrating professional evolution.
As for the trend of Massage Therapists being converted into 9-5 laborers by corporate McMassage chains, Bodywork Artists can avoid working for exploitative middle men.
We should always be compensated appropriately, and should not be burning out after only 3-5 years in the profession.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Jill.
So, let's start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started my massage therapy practice in 1990 while attending the Boulder College of Massage Therapy.
From there I had a phenomenal private practice until 2005 providing over 20,000 massages.
While in practice I had the unusual opportunity to work at a resort deep in the rainforest of Belize where I developed a holistic spa program for guests based on the use of medicinal herbs and plants from the jungle.
