Become a Licensed Massage Therapist in less than a year. State-approved training with flexible day and evening schedules, bilingual instruction, and small class sizes.
Our 500-hour Licensed Massage Therapist program is designed to take you from beginner to fully licensed in approximately 9 months on a part-time schedule. You'll graduate prepared to pass both the MBLEx national exam and the Texas Massage Therapy Exam, and apply for your Texas LMT license through TDLR.
About half of the program is hands-on massage training — including a real internship at our on-site school clinic. The other half covers the classroom knowledge you need to pass your licensing exam.
Our curriculum covers every subject required by TDLR for Texas massage therapy licensure.
Anatomy
Study the human body — muscles, bones, joints, and organ systems — to build a foundation for safe and effective massage therapy.
Physiology
Understand how body systems function and how massage therapy affects circulation, the nervous system, and overall wellness.

I'm a recent graduate of Massage Masters and wanted to share my honest opinions of the school.
I just wanted to say thank you to Leroy (teacher) and Karina (director) of Massage Masters. They made the past year a experience that I won't forget and always stay near in my heart.
The people make the process non stressful and easy going atmosphere makes a nice environment to learn. If you have any doubts if knowledge of a topic, they are always there to help and support your growth.
The school provides the space and tools needed to learn and improve the skills of massage. A big plus on flexibility of schedule for people that work or go to school, their morning and evening classes make the choice easier to do.
I recommend this school to prepare yourself on the certification test and knowledge of the topic. Don't be afraid to join this friendly school.

To the readers, I recently passed my exam and became a licensed massage therapist; I just wanted to take a moment to express my immense gratitude for the wonderful experience I had at the massage school. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by a team of truly professional individuals who were dedicated to providing the highest level of education and training.
The staff at the massage school demonstrated a wealth of knowledge that was truly impressive. They were not only well-versed in the theoretical aspects of massage therapy, but they also had a deep understanding of the practical application of various techniques. Their expertise was evident in every class and workshop, and I felt fortunate to be learning from such knowledgeable instructors.
What truly set this massage school apart was the level of professionalism that permeated every aspect of the program. From the well-organized curriculum to the attention to detail in the training materials, it was clear that the school was committed to providing a top-notch educational experience. The instructors were always prepared, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that each student understood the material.
I also appreciated the emphasis on hands-on practice and real-world experience. The school provided ample opportunities for students to apply their skills in a supervised setting, which helped build confidence and competence. The practical training sessions were invaluable in preparing us for the demands of the massage therapy profession.
Overall, I cannot recommend this massage school highly enough. If you're looking for a comprehensive education in massage therapy, delivered by a team of professionals who are truly passionate about what they do, then look no further. My time at the massage school was transformative, and I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained during my studies.

I've been dealing with a lot of pain from injuries acquired in Iraq. For 16 years I have been in so much pain. This place is absolutely magic.
Kandice was very professional. Very kind young lady. I was very comfortable with her working on me and I left feeling a lot better after the massage. I will definitely return to massage masters and request Kandice.
