Learn by Doing

Our Teaching Philosophy

Our teaching philosophy is simple. We keep class sizes small in order for students to experience ample one-on-one time with our highly skilled instructors. In the classroom, you will give/receive/teach massage, as well as preparing for your state licensing exam.

what people say about us

Best decision I have ever made. I still have Eladah in my head 9 years later saying Renee put your shoulders down!

Brenda Renee RandallClass of 2009

Best massage therapy education I could've ever received!!!

Melliza TaylorClass of 2015

Eladah’s personal touch and laser focus is different from any other massage instructor or college that I have experienced. She cares for every student and works to make sure that you not only gain the knowledge but gain confidence to work at the highest level possible. OCMT creates an experience long past the classroom. The instructors are very patient and encouraging, as well as helpful. The atmosphere allowed me to learn at my pace.
