The Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in Albany, NY, which offers massage therapy training, continuing education for bodyworkers, and discounted massages at its student clinic, will host an open house August 5, 2014, at 6 p.m. Fall classes begin in September.

“Bodywork is the focus of our school,” says CNW School of Massage Therapy Executive Director Lisa Satalino. “We don’t have other programs to distract us from our mission. We are not a franchise. Our excellence is demonstrated by our statistically high graduation rate, New York State exam pass rate and job placement rate. We provide training for a fulfilling, flexible career in a growing field. Our graduates are working in settings from spas to hospitals, creating their own businesses in every possible venue.”

CNW School of Massage Therapy will hold a Massage Exploration workshop August 19 at 6 p.m., and Fascia Week August 25-29, with special weekday classes, reduced prices and topics exploring the fascial system. There is a full calendar of continuing education classes almost every weekend, Satalino says. Continuing education classes are geared for currently licensed massage and physical therapists and athletic trainers.
