Massage Apprenticeship
Our next cohort will begin December 2024!
Welcome to the Harvest Massage & Wellness Apprenticeship Program! Our comprehensive program is designed to equip aspiring massage therapists with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their careers.
Program Structure:
The apprenticeship program is divided into three essential components:
Coursework: Our thoughtfully designed coursework can be completed from the comfort of your home, offering the flexibility to fit your studies around your schedule. All coursework assignments will involve reading from your textbooks and completing tasks in your workbooks. Expect to dedicate 5-8 hours each week to this essential part of your learning journey.
In Person Classes: Twice a week, you'll attend in-person classes designed to enhance your learning experience, each class will have a maximum of 4 people. One of these sessions will be a hands-on class where you'll learn various massage modalities and techniques for working with the human body, gaining practical experience that will be essential for your future practice. The other will be a lecture-style anatomy class focused on deepening your theoretical understanding. Each class will last between 3 to 4 hours, offering you valuable instruction and guidance from experienced instructors.

Apprentices are required to complete two 6-hour shifts per week, but may work additional shifts if available. If your schedule is fully booked, you'll provide five 1-hour massages per shift.
