The New School for Massage

Our latest blog. Public protection and professional mobility can — and should — work together.

That's why New School for Massage Bodywork & Healing supports the Interstate Massage Compact (IMpact): a framework that lets qualified, licensed massage therapists practice across state lines, while every state keeps its own standards, licensing, and oversight.

Read our full position on what the compact means for therapists, students, and the public we all serve:

💜 March 8 is International Women’s Day.

In massage therapy, women are the heart of the profession.
Nearly 85% of therapists are women — as clinicians, educators, mentors, and leaders.

We are grateful every day for the skill, care, and dedication they bring to this work and to our community.

Today, we celebrate and thank you. www.newschoolmassage.edu

At The New School for Massage, we support initiatives that help strengthen the massage therapy profession and expand professional opportunities for therapists.

The Massage Therapy Licensing Compact aims to improve mobility for licensed therapists while maintaining professional standards and public protection. We support the related Senate Bill (SB1756) as a step toward a stronger, more connected profession.

Our mission remains the same: preparing skilled, ethical therapists ready for the future of massage therapy.

Happy Monday! While others dread Monday mornings, massage therapists wake up knowing they'll spend their day helping people feel better. The work is meaningful, the demand is real, and the flexibility lets you build a life that actually works for you. Our massage therapy training program is how you get there.
