Sarasota School of Massage Therapy

The mission of the Sarasota School of Massage Therapy is to train students to become skillful, responsible and sensitive massage therapists and to provide an opportunity for personal growth that can be shared with the larger community.

SSMT offers a 710 hour massage therapy diploma which can be completed in 8 ½ or 18 months. Many students enroll from states throughout the US, and also, sometimes from abroad.

Many classes include movement and relaxation. Such disciplines as Yoga, Feldenkrais, Tai Chi Chuan and others expose the students to a range of movement practices intended to increase self-awareness. This sensory awareness is similar to what results from both giving and receiving bodywork, and can be a catalyst for transformation in both our clients and ourselves. This is the promise and the beauty of bodywork.
