Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy

This program is very rigorous, and incredibly rewarding. The 4 months that I've been here have gone by in the snap of a finger! That being said, this is a very faced-paced and intense program and although it is located in paradise, your time will not feel like vacation. Be prepared to buckle down and focus while you're here since there is a TON of material covered in a fairly short period of time. Don't worry though, you will find yourself studying at the beach and taking weekends to explore nearby beaches, snorkle, or learn to surf. I was a little concerned about feeling overwhelmed and alone when I came here (I graduated high school just 2 months prior to starting Massage School) but the worry disappeared after day 1. My roommates and peers have been incredible, the staff are very organized, and the surrounding community is super supportive. This is a tourist destination so (depending on the season) you will meet not only Ticos but also people from almost every other part of the globe... it's a great place to see people from all walks of life, and to grow your own global community. I can't wait to come back here to visit, CRSMT has given me life-long friends, a community, and a skill that I love!! I'm so so SO glad I did this!!

Putting my experience at CRSMT into words is no easy task. This school provides a top notch education with life and personal growth experiences that are difficult to describe as they are profound. I am eternally grateful for the support and education I received here and I feel well prepared for my journey into bodywork. If you hear the call deep down inside to come here, do it. You will be challenged, you will be supported, you will evolve.

CRSMT is a phenomenal school of massage therapy. They have prepared us so well to spring into our new careers as massage therapists! They take great care to provide us with tools for self-care to help us through the extremely challenging program, and push proper body mechanics so we can have career longevity! The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the caliber of many of the educators is beyond expectation. This program will change you as a person. The challenges are steep, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When you come out the other side, though, you will be amazed to see what you are capable of!
