ADVANCED ASIAN BODYWORK CERTIFICATION [500-hours]

This program serves to allow graduates to become Practitioner Level Members of the AOBTA (American Organization for Body Therapies of Asia), and gain National Certification and/or state licensure. Instructed by professional therapists that include licensed acupuncturists, naturopathic physicians, and veteran practitioners and teachers of asian bodywork, this program gives students the option to choose a highly specialized focus in Eastern massage and bodywork practice. Students will gain outstanding experience in the Asian Bodywork Clinic at NAMTI and be ready to enter the health care profession, or expand their current professional practice, having learned and practiced with superior professional guidance. A strong focus on developing an internal martial art practice relevant to manual applications and theory taught in this program is unique and authentic in the experience you receive. Graduates will be equipped with therapy and life enhancing skills to enjoy and share with your clients.
