Missouri massage therapists will all be required to renew licenses by January 31, 2011.  That means you must complete at least 12 hours by the end of 2010.  If you are Nationally-Certified, that renewal date will be determined by the date of your original certification, and you are required to complete 48 hours every 4 years.  Please see sidebar to the right for more information. 

In October of 2007, we were approved as a Continuing Education provider by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, Provider #450530-07.

Continuing Education classes will be posted on our calendar. Just click on the left, or email us if you would like to take or TEACH a class that we do not offer.

MTIM may co-contract with various professionals around the area to teach. We are open to all disciplines, from Sportsmassage to Shiatsu, Reiki to Hakomi, or Dual-Role Ethics to Native American Ways. If NCBTMB requirements are met, their courses will be available under our approval.

We have a wealth of potential instructors throughout Missouri. We would like to hear from you if you are ready to share your knowledge and experience. Courses may be scheduled at our recently-expanded facility, or in your own area. Let us share our resources to help you get out there and share your wisdom!
