What is our Massage Program?
Lotus’s 625 Hour Massage Program perfectly prepares students for the experience of being a Massage Therapist from the moment they graduate. Starting with the basics, each student is trained for a plethora of different situations.
From learning intricate human anatomy to physiology, all of our students require 100 hours of real life practicum before going into their own practice. We’ve had alumni start their own clinics, running their own independent businesses, and working for some of the largest massage clinics in Virginia.
