Welcome
to
Lakewood School of Therapeutic Massage
We
acknowledge and embrace the Art and Science of the practice of Massage
Therapy. Students develop their awareness, focus, and intention while also
learning the therapeutic skills needed for this profession.
Students develop assessment and palpation skills and clinical reasoning
abilities so they can design a treatment plan to meet the needs of every
client.
Our
school is located in a historic district of Port Huron, Michigan where Lake Huron and the
St. Clair River meet. The Blue Water Bridge links Port Huron, Michigan with Sarnia,
Ontario, Canada.
The
professional training is a 720 clock hour, state licensed program that grants graduates the
title of Massage Therapist. Students are prepared to sit for the National Certification
Board Exam.
The
10 month program begins in
February and August. In February, we offer a day program, and in August we
have both a day and evening option. See the School Calendar page
School Calendar for more details.
