“Massage soothes the body, easing mind and spirit. Mind and spirit, in turn, remind the body of its God given power to self-heal.”

– Bruce Hopkins, LMT

​

Massage Therapy Institute opened its clinic in October of 1993, and the school in April of 1994. Our goal is to provide quality alternatives to medical treatment through massage therapy. We believe that mind, body and environment are interconnected and contribute the body's experience of well-being. MTI's approach to massage combines the healing properties of touch with applied therapies to unlock the body's ability to relax and recover.

We offer services from licensed massage therapist as well as students. 

We are also available for on site massage for local businesses, small and large.

​

Our staff is dedicated to excellence in academics, professional training and practical application. It is our goal to create an optimum learning experience for every one of our students. Our earnest hope is that the technical and inter-personal skills you acquire will bring much pleasure and improved health to clients as well as career satisfaction and rewards to you.

As practicing licensed massage therapists and instructors, our knowledge and experience provides students with various insights into building successful careers while they prepare to practice newly found skills as massage therapists.

"Touch was never meant to be a luxury. It is a basic human need. It is an action that validates life and gives hope to both the receiver and the giver. The healing of touch is reciprocal."

~Irene Smith

Always a great experience. Very professional. Cant beat the prices! I leave feeling rejuvenated and usually go home and get the best nights sleep. Highly recommend!!!
