Body Institute
A School of Massage Therapy

Body Institute is dedicated to the teaching of therapeutic massage and bodywork. Our therapeutic massage therapy training program is filled with students from all over Northern California. Our massage school is located east of Sacramento in the Roseville-Granite Bay area making it easy for those coming from Auburn, El Dorado Hills, Marysville, Sacramento, Placerville, Elk Grove and even Stockton. Body Institute meets the needs of the aspiring student as well as the massage professional looking for Continuing Education.

Our Student Massage Clinic is integrated into the educational program giving the student more than just classroom experience. Classroom knowledge is only the start. In the Body Institute Clinic the student integrates what is learned in the classroom into the clinic setting. Students that have progressed into the clinic portion of the program see clients in our spa like setting. Clients seeing our students in the student massage clinic eagerly participate in the student’s growth and are excited to have the student practice newly learned techniques in 1 hour, 1 ½ hour and 2 hour massage and bodywork sessions.
