Soma Stories

A Clinical Massage Therapy diploma from The Soma Institute prepares you for a successful career.

Soma's clinical massage therapy programs will qualify you to enter virtually any professional specialty area within the massage field upon your graduation. At The Soma Institute, you'll learn from industry professionals who will provide the necessary training for anyone aspiring to be part of the massage therapy and healthcare communities.

This rigorous training is why Soma graduates currently enjoy a 96% job placement rate in 2009 (as reported to the Illinois State Board of Education), with many graduates going on to careers at prestigious organizations like Northwestern Memorial Hospital, The Joffrey Ballet, Swedish Covenant Hospital, and The Peninsula Hotel. The Soma Institute cannot, however, guarantee placement.
