Acadia School of Massage

Acadia School of Massage Acadia School of Massage in Bar Harbor, Maine offers hands-on training in therapeutic bodywork. The field of Massage Therapy is vast.

With small class sizes and a supportive environment, we prepare students to become confident, skilled professionals in the healing arts. There are many techniques and styles of body work that a student may learn. Knowledge of the human body; its muscles, bones, and potential problems can be studied for years. Massage Therapist Core Training is designed to teach students what they need to know to p

roduce outstanding results in the field of body work in a relatively short period of time. There are 3 key focal points in the training: the science of functional anatomy and pathology, the art of delivering the finest work to clients; and professional and ethical excellence. From this foundation students will be well prepared to pursue careers in a variety of settings from spas, to medical clinics, private practice, cruise ships and perhaps even teaching bodywork. As the founders of Acadia School of Massage, we have designed massage therapist core training to reflect our passion for excellence in body work. Through our experience in developing and running the highly successful Tree of Life Day Spa we have come to understand the needs of the massage and spa industry first hand. We have spent considerable time training employees to perform what should be fundamental skills of the massage therapist. The Massage Therapist Core Training program is a systematic approach to training massage professionals. It differs from other massage therapy training programs in that it gives the student a competitive advantage by being able to perform fantastic body work upon graduation. The program achieves this result by leaving out “the fluff” (course work that acts as filler) and emphasizing the quality of touch so lacking for many massage therapists. All of our instructors are trained to provide the quality of education that we insist upon. The Massage Therapist Core Training is offered as a six month program comprising 600 hours. Program classes are held Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM allowing the student to maintain a job or other prior obligations. The program runs from Late October to late April. Each program includes hands-on time in our student clinic. Student clinic begins in late November. Clinic hours are one afternoon per week; either Sunday, Monday or Tuesday from 1 PM to 6 PM.
