About Us
Our Mission & Vision
At Massage Mastery Online, our mission is to inspire life-long learning in the massage profession through exceptional content, research-informed instructional design, and user-friendly online innovation.
To achieve this mission, we create full-featured, interactive digital textbooks for massage students, ancillary and curriculum packages for schools and instructors, and continuing education for massage professionals.
We are dedicated to high-quality materials, designed to entice users through web innovations that make learning more efficient, effective, and enjoyable. To that end, our digital textbooks and CE courses are filled with striking images, plenty of video, interviews with unique voices, learning games, and other features that make the process of learning more fun.
An important part of our mission is to help massage students struggling with learning challenges overcome the obstacles that might prevent them from their dream of a career in massage therapy. We do this by using video, listen-along audio, a text translation feature that instantly changes the text to most languages, and through strong instructional design and highly organized content.
Our lives have been dedicated to massage education and to making education more accessible and fun for a profession we love. We are excited to share our textbooks and courses with massage professionals everywhere and welcome your feedback. If you want to know more about our individual stories, see our bios. Better yet, check out a course or textbook and use it to learn something new!
