Programs

Which Program is Right for Me?
We love to help, so please ask us. Meridian students learn about massage and holistic health in much greater detail when enrolled in a program. Under expert supervision and guidance, our students become proficient and confident in a wide range of relaxation and therapeutic bodywork techniques. Students can expect to learn basic human anatomy, many massage techniques and fundamental business skills. These skills will allow you to confidently work for yourself or with others in a variety of settings, including spas and hotels, and in doctors’ and/or chiropractors’ offices.

Do I Take Programs or Classes?
Classes may be taken individually or as program requirements. If you would like a more detailed description of any classes, then please
request a free catalog. Each class description will give the abbreviation for the Program if it is a required class.

Practicing in Your State
Please remember that states and cities have different regulations to follow. After receiving your Certificate of Completion, you need to find out what the city regulations will be for where you intend to practice. Usually, this will involve filing for a license to practice and taking a practical and written exam. Good luck with starting your new life in health and let us know if you have any questions! For more information on your local requirements please check out this page on our
