Welcome to A Gathering Place
A St. Charles Massage Therapy School
A Gathering Place Massage Therapy School is a subsidiary of A Gathering Place-Wellness Education Center, LLC. Our School is a center of learning with educational activities to effect change in the mind, body, emotional and spiritual aspects of being. These learning activities promote wellness for the whole person.
100% of Students Graduate and Pass Board Exams
The school facilitates the growth of its students on an emotional and social level with the loving and caring atmosphere which surrounds the center. It has been found that such a learning environment allows for self growth and long-term retention of the material taught. Our staff members work with the students, with a low instructor-to-student ratio, to enhance the personalized training process. The relationships which are created between the staff members and students, and among the students themselves, allow for life changing experiences as they promote self growth in a positive setting.
A Gathering Place finds its mission fulfilled when the students complete their training, successfully pass the national board exam and find jobs that fulfill their career purpose.
The Center’s Objectives
The goal of the wellness education center is to develop individuals who want to become massage therapists and to provide continuing education to current health care professionals in the area of touch therapy. The outreach of the center is to the Midwest to suggest healthier choices which will contribute to more fulfilling lives. A graduate from the ‘Massage Therapy Program’ receives a certificate of completion acknowledging that 625 hours of coursework have been completed in massage therapy and its related modalities. The graduate is then eligible to take the national massage therapy examination, which is required for licensure by the state’s Board of Therapeutic Massage. Graduates from the following programs: ‘Anatomy and Physiology,’ ‘Therapeutic Massage,’ ‘Allied Modalities,’ and ‘Related Modalities’ ‘Bodywork Specialization’ receive certificates of completion for their participation in the programs.
