THE HOLISTIC MASSAGE THERAPY SCHOOL FOR MINDFUL,


ARTISTIC AND EVIDENCE-INFORMED MASSAGE THERAPISTS

Massage therapy is a fantastic career choice, especially right now! Massage
schools vary vastly in their intention and approach—choosing the wrong one can
cost you time, money, and the future you deserve, absolutely shaping the
trajectory of your career. Berkana is the premier Boulder County Massage School,
known for its holistic and mindful approach to massage therapy education. The
Institute offers a 650-hour Hybrid Program rooted in a long-standing tradition
of excellence. Serving the entire Front Range, including those seeking a Denver
Massage School, many of our students relocate from out of state to experience
our unique blend of art and science. This program is dedicated to developing
exceptional holistic healthcare practitioners fully prepared for successful
careers as licensed massage therapists and entrepreneurs. To make the education
accessible, we offer commuting subsidies, scholarships, discounts, financing,
and payment plans. The Colorado Workforce Fund approves Berkana. Schedule your
tour today to discover if this holistic massage training makes Berkana the best
massage school for you. 

ART + SCIENCE

The ethical alchemy of what we know to be true, and what we are inspired to
explore

MINDFULNESS

The practice of presence, and vigilance over the chaos of the mind

EXCEPTIONAL

Specializing in cutting edge, career development and entrepreneurship


THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE

Berkana, one of the few Holistic Massage Institutes globally, explores
therapeutic massage's multidimensional effects from a biopsychosocial
perspective. We prioritize trauma-informed, evidence-based practices and
emphasize mindful discipline to honor the human condition's delicate nature and
the healing arts' transformative potential.

While most massage schools train Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) for spa jobs
through intermediaries, Berkana highlights discernment in working relationships,
self-empowerment, entrepreneurship, and longevity for graduates, many of whom
will have private practices.

Berkana offers essential training for this courageous career path and the keys
to success in our proven approach.

The Berkana Institute sets the standard for excellence with an elite, holistic
program and a unique apprenticeship-style approach over 6 to 9 months, fostering
growth and success.

Our graduates achieve superior performance, quickly realizing a return on their
investment with above-standard earnings.

BECOME A PERSON I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE, BUT ALWAYS STRUGGLED TO FIND THE BEST
AVENUES IN WHICH TO DO SO. THIS SCHOOL IS THAT AVENUE. THE TEACHERS ARE
INCREDIBLE AND SUPPORTIVE AND VERSATILE. THE PROGRAM IS BEAUTIFUL AND
CHALLENGING IN PERFECT HARMONY.”

SARA HUMPHREYS

“IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING REAL, ENCOUNTER AN AMAZING JOURNEY OF
SELF-DISCOVERY AND LEARN AN INCREDIBLE ART OF CREATIVITY, PROFESSIONAL MASSAGE
AND SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL, MS. BERKANA IS THE ONE TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH, EDUCATE
YOU AND PROVIDE YOU WITH HER OUTSTANDING KNOWLEDGE. HER COMPASSIONATE NATURE
DELIVERS SUCH AN AMAZING FEELING OF SAFENESS, AWARENESS AND CALM.”

RACHEL MOTTO

“AS A GRADUATE YOU HEAR TIME AND AGAIN HOW CLIENTS SEEK OUT STUDENTS FROM THIS
SCHOOL. BERKANA IS HANDS DOWN A SCHOOL THAT PROVIDES A TOP NOTCH EDUCATION AND
THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO EFFECTIVELY OPEN AND RUN YOUR OWM PRACTICE. I OPENED MY
BUSINESS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GRADUATING AND FELT CONFIDENT WITH THE SUPPORT THE
SCHOOL GAVE ME AS AN ALUMNI. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A MASSAGE SCHOOL THEN LOOK
NO FURTHER. BERKANA IS BY FAR THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK."

JOEL SCHOOF

“I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT ENTERING INTO THE
MASSAGE PROFESSION. AFTER HAVING GONE THROUGH AN INTENSE PROGRAM AT THIS SCHOOL,
I CAME OUT AFTER SIX MONTHS WITH A BUSINESS PLAN THAT I CONFIDENTLY EXECUTED
THREE MONTHS LATER. THE SCHOOL PROVIDES YOU WITH A REALLY SOLID EDUCATION AND A
COMMUNITY TO ALWAYS HELP YOU FIND WORK, STAY UP TO DATE ON THE SCIENCES WITHIN
OUR PROFESSION, AND TO NETWORK WITH- YOU NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ALONE WHEN YOU
ARE A BERKANA GRADUATE”

HALEY IRIS

“THE BERKANA INSTITUTE DRAMATICALLY TRANSFORMED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER. AS A
GRADUATE, I HAVE COMPARED MY EDUCATION TO THAT WHICH COLLEAGUES RECEIVED IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD, AND BERKANA IS THE MOST WELL ROUNDED, SCIENTIFICALLY
SOUND, AND MINDFUL EDUCATION AROUND. BERKANA ALSO PREPARED ME FOR MEDICAL
SCHOOL, WHICH I AM THRIVING IN AND I BELIEVE IT'S LARGELY DUE TO THE TOP QUALITY
AND IN-DEPTH EDUCATION I RECEIVED AT THE INSTITUTE, AND THE SUPPORT FROM THE
AMAZING FACULTY ALONG THE WAY. JILL BERKANA, THE FOUNDER, IS A BRILLIANT AND
COMPASSIONATE MENTOR WHO TAKES THE POTENTIAL IN STUDENTS AND PUSHES THEM FURTHER
THAN THEY EVER THOUGHT THEY COULD GO. I COULDN'T RECOMMEND MORE HIGHLY.”

JIA BRUNNING

“STUDYING AT THE BERKANA INSTITUTE WILL CHALLENGE AND REWARD YOU IN THE VERY
BEST WAYS POSSIBLE. THROUGH THE WHOLE-HEARTED COMPANIONSHIP OF MY CLASSMATES AND
THE PROFOUNDLY COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT FROM THE INSTRUCTORS, I GREW IN MORE WAYS
THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED, BOTH AS MASSAGE THERAPIST AND AS A HUMAN. THIS ISN’T
JUST MASSAGE THERAPY SCHOOL—IT’S SOUL SCHOOL!”
