At Bellevue Massage School, we love what we do!  Rather than taking a single, defined approach to massage therapy, we strive to nurture and empower each individual:

Our mission is to help students discover their unique massage expression and become exceptional, confident and intuitive massage practitioners who facilitate the well being of others.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the importance of concentrating on and developing the empathy and sensitivity of our students so that they are better able to help clients recognize their own power in the healing process and successfully incorporate self-care routines into their daily lives.

Our Core Beliefs

Our core beliefs define our mission, philosophy and approach to teaching.  These beliefs are:

• Massage can be used to help in the rehabilitation of specific illnesses.
• Practice of massage can be extremely valuable in the prevention of illness and maintenance of good health.
• The body/mind/spirit model becomes real as one discovers the chemical, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of massage work.
• Massage is not just another medical modality that concentrates on signs and symptoms of disease but rather a complete modality that allows the practitioner to focus on eliminating minor imbalances before they develop into a major problems or disease.
• Massage gets to the “root” of an imbalance by focusing on its energetic or vibratory aspect rather than trying to eliminate symptoms, which often results in their reoccurrence.
• Participation in a student massage clinic, which gives varied client experience in a supervised setting, is a vital part of any massage education program.
