The first private, credentialed, professional massage therapy school will be opening in Newport on Jan 3rd, 2015! The Newport Massage School (NMS) is the only massage school in the U.S. that offers an opportunity to earn a state license as well as a certification in the holistic medical science of Ayurveda. While Ayurveda has been time-proven for over 5,000 years in the Indian culture, it parallels Traditional Chinese Medicine in many ways and has just started growing popularity in the West. Ayurveda has been presented by many authorities appearing on shows such as Dr. Oz, Oprah and is now being accepted into many college curriculums. Ayurveda is here to stay and will become a household word like as yoga, acupuncture, chiropractic and massage.
NMS merges the art of massage, yoga and Ayurveda under one roof and creatively blends traditional, allopathic western medicine with ancient eastern medical systems, while specializing in the science of Ayurveda. NMS one of the first and only private massage schools in Rhode Island to be approved by the RIBGHE.
The owner and founder of NMS, Karyn Chabot, D.Ay, LMT, will lead her inaugural class on the path to becoming Licensed RI Massage Therapists, Registered Ayurvedic Health Counselors and Certified Yoga Teachers. With the call for holistic medicine ever increasing along with the demand for evidence that these systems work, NMS is here to pioneer this unique education to anyone interested in the field of the professional, holistic healing sciences. The Newport Massage School is credentialed by the NCBTMB, NAMA, and RIBGHE. They also offer workshops for continuing education credits for LMT’s, including an Ayurvedic Spa Technician Certification Program, and a myriad of other seminars and services. The Newport Massage School is on its way to being one of the most valuable and respected holistic education centers in New England.
