Manual - Massage

The EHS Massage Training program is being developed by Nicole Torres. As the only daughter of Carol Carpenter, founder of the National Holistic Institute, Nicole is following in her family footsteps by opening a Massage Therapy School in San Francisco dedicated to producing the most successful, highly knowledgeable and competent health care practitioners in the field of massage therapy. EHS Massage Training is steeped in the most up-to-date study of Manual and Movement Science, incorporating Anatomy, Kinesiology, Pathology, Body Mapping and Postural Assessment in our course material, along with traditional Massage Techniques. Our philosophy is to provide a strong foundation of traditional massage protocol and techniques, with an understanding of how releasing, stabilization, and strengthening can enhance the ability of our graduates to successfully meet their clients’ goals of wellness. Our program is not only designed for those who wish to start a career in Massage Therapy, but also those who wish to specialize in Manual Therapy for Movement Practitioners.
