Ashland Institute of Massage

Why AIM

A small school with a big vision, Ashland Institute of Massage offers a holistic approach to the education of body, mind, and heart. At AIM, who you are is as important as what you learn.

Our AIM is for you to acquire awareness, integrity, and meaning in your studies, practices, and lives. Possessing technical skill (body), understanding the human body (mind), and practicing from a space of personal awareness and presence (heart) are crucial characteristics of a competent practitioner. Our school values equally the development and integration of each of these traits. We structure our massage therapy education so you experience this integration through a thoughtful balance of kinesthetic training, academic preparation, and awareness exercises.

AIM is an intentionally small school focused on the individual learner. We provide a safe, supervised, and supportive learning environment that promotes the health and well-being of our students while encouraging them to achieve a high standard of excellence. Our dedicated instructors are passionate about what they do and utilize multiple teaching strategies to accommodate different learning styles. AIM’s diverse student body brings a rich set of skills and life experiences to the educational program and student cohort.

At Ashland Institute of Massage, we recognize that massage is not only an individual health care practice, but it is also a sustainable aspect of a healthy community. We actively participate in community events and volunteer opportunities, encouraging our students to cultivate a widened view of themselves as they experience the impact of their work in a variety of settings. The beautiful valley in which our school is nestled is known for its community of highly skilled body workers, and this professional network offers much support for our students in their practices.

AIM offers an intensive immersion in the workings of the body, mind, and heart. It is also incredibly fun! Friends made here are friends for life, and our students are irrevocably transformed by their massage school experience.
