A common question that we get in the admissions process is what about financial aid?

The dean has the very best advice in this video. If you are looking to apply for or use federal financial aid,

Step 1-we do need you to fill out the FAFSA before we will have any of your information to be able to answer your specific financial questions. We understand that it might feel like a big step, but truly the website is meant to be user-friendly and we believe in you!

What other questions would you like the Dean to answer. Drop them in the comments or feel free to DM us.

It can feel intimidating to start school
Wondering how to fill the time with a client on the table
From the beginning of the first term
To the end of foundations you will be amazed at how much has changed!

60 minutes will breeze by, and you will have your mind filled with new understanding of the body, that creates powerful space for curiosity.

Sound pretty great?

Ending Mindless Bodywork is more than a catchphrase, it is a mission that East West continues to strive to facilitate this in our profession, with our students, and in our community. We do this by having the very best instructors and CE teachers.

Alex and Jonathan of have made this mission their vision in the work that they do- and the wisdom they share in their continuing education classes taught here at East West.

One of the powerful benefits of participating in massage school is that you get to receive bodywork yourself as you learn.

The power of massage is palpable and from the very first quarter you have the opportunity to heal in ways that are profound to you as a human as well as those you provide care for.

Not a bad way to take care of your own body too!

Thank you for sharing your experience! And welcome to our teaching staff. We are so excited to have you!

Our program is rigorous for a reason, we understand what you need to know to be an exceptional LMT, and the results show in both knowledge on the test, and the incredible reputation that you carry with you when you apply for your first job and you put East West on your resume.

The program is not easy, but it’s worth it.

Massage is both an art and a science. We teach you the science but the art comes in bringing your personality and style to your practice.

You can do this by

* Choosing your preferred population to work with ( ie: pregnant mothers, trans folks, athletes, trauma informed bodywork)

* Decorate your space with fun additions to make it feel like you ( ie: books that you like to read, tai tai blankets, red light bulbs, cozy blankets, on of our students even set up her space to look like an old school medical facility. It matches her brand and her vibe. So cool)

* Adorn yourself in the ways that speak to who you are (ie: clothing, your hair, tattoos if you like them etc) when you show who you are then others that are like minded can feel even more comfortable on your table or mat

* Pick music that moves you- maybe you like jazz, or loft beats, maybe you really like spa music, or classical. When the mood is right with you, you can show up fully and energized in the session
