Yesterday we wrapped up an incredible hands-on training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).
— a specialized technique that supports the body’s natural detox process, reduces swelling, and promotes overall immune health.

Thirteen dedicated therapists are now certified in MLD, ready to bring this gentle yet powerful modality to their future clients! 🌿

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a light, rhythmic technique that helps move lymph fluid through the body. Supporting recovery, circulation, and balance.

We’re so proud of this group for diving deep into advanced bodywork education and adding another skill to their growing toolbox. 💪

Sylva is a whole mood.
Studying, snacking, and thriving-
it’s called balance
💜 Future LMT glow.

🧑‍🎨➡️💀 From Clay to Anatomy!

Who says learning muscles has to be boring? Our students got their hands messy (literally) building the human body—one clay muscle at a time. 💪🎨

Clay anatomy isn’t just about sculpting-it’s about truly understanding how muscles layer, connect, and work together. By building them piece by piece, our future massage therapists get a deeper (and stickier 👀) grasp of the human body.

And let’s be honest… some of these skeletons ended up with pretty epic facial hair.
😂 (Swipe to see!)

We are excited to welcome the Class of 2026 to their massage therapy journey! 💆‍♀️💆

The first week is all about building community, learning routines, and even practicing behind-the-scenes skills—
like how to properly fold those tricky fitted sheets.

It’s just the beginning of an amazing adventure! ✨ 🙌🏻

New class starts Monday, so naturally we’re over here acting like a full-blown HGTV makeover crew 🫠

Carpets shampooed ✔️
Hydraulic tables unstacked ✔️
School clean & reset ✔️
Back muscles? TBD. 😂

I heard with a little audacity and delusion you can do anything, bet.

All worth it to welcome our next group of new future therapists! If you’re curious about our program there is still time but not much ⏰

💛 “Be the reason someone blooms.” 🌻
Hey everyone! I’m Sierra, the hands-on massage therapy instructor here at South Dakota School of Massage Therapy. Today was a big day—our final student clinic for this group before they take their board exams!

It’s been an honor mentoring these talented, kind-hearted students and watching them grow not just in skill, but in confidence and care for others. They’ve worked hard, showed up, and poured so much into this season.

One student surprised me with this beautiful sunflower painting as a thank-you—he remembered they’re my favorite. 🌻 It even matches the colors in my new home… coincidence or blessing? Either way, I’m touched.

To my students: you’ve left a mark. Your clients felt it, your peers saw it, and I’ll always remember it.
Now go show the world what healing hands and a good heart can do. 💪💆‍♀️

🌿 Sunday Pause | What’s your intention for the week? 🌿

Every week offers a fresh start.
A moment to reset, refocus, and reconnect with what matters most.

At our massage therapy school, we teach more than just technique — we teach the power of intention.
Because how we show up in our lives and for others… starts with how we care for ourselves.

So today, we invite you — whether you’re a current student, graduate, client, or community member — to take a breath and ask:

What do I want to carry into this new week?
What am I ready to leave behind?

Drop your intention in the comments.
Let’s begin this week grounded, together. 💜
