Massage School Graduate Story

Massage School Graduate Story

“As a graduate, Soma has taught me a clinical skill set that I can take to any environment and that has acted as a key to massage positions in chiropractic and rehab environments. Soma has also taught me a higher level of professionalism, and that's something that shows every time I go on an interview or introduce myself to a potential new client.”

Heather Rudin, graduate of The Soma Institute

Heather Rudin dreamed of helping others and educating the public about the benefits of massage. She enrolled in the Clinical Massage Therapy Diploma program at Soma and completed their 750-hour course. After training at The Soma Institute, Heather has been able to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients.

“One thing I absolutely love about my job is seeing progress in my clients. It's an amazing feeling to have someone who comes in with a mobility issue, and after my work they have much more range of motion than what they came in with. It's a lot of fun, and every time they come see me they're in a better mood because they're seeing and feeling the results of the work we're doing together.”

Soma’s 750-hour Clinical Massage Therapy Diploma program covers the major areas of massage, including sports massage, hydrotherapy, and bodywork. If you’re interested in learning more, call The Soma Institute to speak to a knowledgeable Admissions Representative at 1-800-694-5314.

Massage Therapy Career Success Story

“People often spend more time with their massage therapist than with their doctor or physical therapist. They trust us, and I think it’s critical that we educate our clients with ways they can help themselves through their own stretching and strengthening exercises.”

Soma Graduate, Renee Dubois

Renee Dubois wanted to advocate for better health education and equality in healthcare in underserved urban populations. Along with her dream of helping others, Renee enrolled in the Clinical Massage Therapy Diploma program at The Soma Institute in Chicago, Illinois. It is an 11-month, 750 hour specialized program covering many areas of massage, including hydrotherapy, sports massage, and bodywork. Today, after graduation, Renee has started her own practice, opening her own wellness studio on Michigan Avenue.

“I really need to credit the instructors at Soma for providing a solid knowledge base. Understanding the anatomy and physiology has been essential—Soma helped me to understand the efficacy of massage therapy, and its role in pain and stress management. After graduation, the staff at Soma has always helped me whenever I needed them. They’ve been quick to respond to all my questions. I value and appreciate that type of attention.”

Soma’s graduates have gone on to careers in many fields, including doctors’ offices, spas & gyms, sports teams, and private practices.

“I work with professional athletes, senior citizens, pre- and post-operative patients, endurance cyclists, as well as everyday people dealing with pain and physical limitations. They often say that I’m the only person they’ve worked with who has taken the time to educate them about what is happening in their musculature.”
