Why Pacific Center for Awareness & Bodywork
Massage therapy is a rapidly growing health career choice, offering flexible hours, high hourly pay, and the benefit of helping others.
The number of massage schools in the US is nearly 300, and we think this is great. Not every school is the best for everyone, so choosing the school that is right for you is important. Here we list four qualities that we believe make PCAB unique amongst massage therapy programs and may help you in your decision.
What Makes Us Different
-
PCAB is one of the few pre-licensing massage programs that offers massage therapy education with the latest neuroscience of touch, pain, trauma, interoception, and wellbeing. As a result, graduates leave with a unique set of advanced bodywork skills and perspectives.
-
Our DOE-licensed, NCBTMB-approved massage therapy program offers enough hours to be licensed in almost any state in the country and to qualify for the optional Board Certification from the NCBTMB.
-
PCAB emphasizes practitioner cultivation and relational skills more than any other pre-licensing massage program in the country. Regardless of one’s future career choices, the skills gained in this program can be used everyday in one’s life.
-
Kauai is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It offers a perfect place to learn, play, and relax. The beaches, the misty ocean cliffs, the waterfalls…not a day goes by where we are not awestruck by the beauty of this island.
