The Soma Institute: Massage Therapy School in Chicago

In a massage therapy course, you’ll learn a variety of natural methods and techniques to treat pain, reduce stress, rehabilitate injuries, and promote overall health and wellbeing. The program provides both classroom instruction and hands-on training to give students the industry support and practical experience they need to become skilled clinical massage therapy professionals. The courses in our Clinical Massage Therapy Program produce skilled clinical massage therapists, many of which have started their own practices.

We’re dedicated to setting you up for success, which is why you’ll receive personal attention and expert guidance throughout your massage therapy training at Soma. You can earn your diploma in just 11 months, and at the end of your time here, you’ll be well prepared to offer clients much more than traditional therapeutic massage therapists.

In addition to our renowned massage therapy course, we also offer a Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate Program that can be entirely virtual.

Internships and employment opportunities

While you’re taking a massage therapy course at Soma, you’ll also have externship and internship opportunities to put the skills you’re learning into practice at our on-campus clinic. There, you’ll receive valuable faculty-supervised field experience that will build up your confidence and skills.
