Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the highest quality educational experience available; taught in a supportive, caring environment.  We are dedicated to meeting the needs of the student as a whole person. 

Our Approach

Our approach is personal.  Classes are limited to 16 students which allows for one on one attention.  The student teacher ratio for hands-on work is no more than eight to one. Our program balances scientific and practical learning with the qualitative elements of professional touch.  We emphasize therapist care by teaching effective body mechanics and stress reduction techniques for the practitioner. Using creative teaching methods, we focus on developing the natural skills and resources of each individual.

Students

Students of TMTI come from diverse professional and personal backgrounds.  Differences in age, education, and interests enhance the class experience by expanding the learning opportunity. The common bond is a desire to learn the skills of a rewarding career.  

Facilities

Our facilities are located in an old, historic home that has been converted to classrooms and offices. Students enjoy learning in the comfortable homelike environment. Break areas on the first floor provide a place where students may relax or study. Administrative offices on the second level house records and lending library. And the third floor classroom is attractive and well equipped.
