Our Evening Massage Therapy Classes Begin January 2027

Have you been thinking about a career change but aren’t sure how you could fit going back to school into your already busy schedule? Maybe you’re looking for more meaningful work, greater flexibility, or an opportunity to build a career helping others.

At A Gathering Place Massage Therapy School in Springfield, Missouri, we believe pursuing a new career shouldn’t mean putting the rest of your life on hold. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new evening massage therapy classes beginning in January of 2027.

Evening Massage Therapy Classes Designed for Working Adults

Starting in January of 2027, we will offer evening massage therapy classes Monday through Thursday, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m.

This new schedule makes it possible for students who work during the day to pursue their massage therapy education without having to leave their current jobs.

It’s also a family friendly option for parents, caregivers, and others who find that daytime classes simply don’t fit their schedules.

Whether you’re considering a career change or finally pursuing something that you’ve been interested in for years, our evening classes offer a new opportunity to make that dream a reality.

Build a Career That Fits Your Life

One of the most appealing aspects of a career in massage therapy is the variety of opportunities available. Licensed massage therapists can work in spas, wellness centers, healthcare practices, or even establish their own businesses.

For those interested in becoming self-employed, massage therapy offers the potential to create a schedule that accommodates family responsibilities and personal priorities.

Others may prefer the stability of working for an established business or combining part-time employment with a growing private practice.

While building a successful career takes dedication and experience, massage therapy offers something you don’t find in many traditional jobs: the opportunity to shape your career around your interests and long-term goals.

Learn the Skills and Confidence to Succeed

Our approach to education goes beyond learning basic massage techniques. We emphasize technical knowledge, compassionate care, and the importance of understanding each client’s individual needs.

Our small class sizes allow students to receive personal attention, ask questions, and learn in a supportive environment.

We combine classroom instruction, hands-on experience, and a hybrid learning approach to help students develop both practical skills and professional confidence.

Our students begin hands-on learning during their very first week.

We also emphasize proper body mechanics, professional boundaries, and therapist self-care. Learning how to care for your own body is an important part of building a rewarding and sustainable career in massage therapy.

Discover Where Your Interests Can Take You

Massage therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all profession. As you develop your skills, you may discover a particular area of bodywork that interests you most.

Our program introduces students to a variety of approaches through Allied Modality classes in Medical Massage, Spa Treatments, Structural Bodywork, Eastern/Energetic Therapies, and Specialty Bodywork.

With guidance from our Program Administrator, students can explore different techniques and pursue areas that align with their interests and career goals.

Our curriculum also includes business education and preparation for the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx), helping students prepare for the next steps toward becoming licensed massage therapists.

Your New Career Could Begin in January 2027

If you’ve been putting off massage school because of your daytime responsibilities, our new evening classes could be exactly the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

You don’t need to have your entire future mapped out before taking that first step. Sometimes, it starts with a simple conversation about what’s possible.

We invite you to schedule a tour. You’ll have the opportunity to meet with our Branch Administrator Jaclyn Kohler-Brake, see our learning environment, ask questions about our evening program, and discover whether massage therapy might be the right career for you.

A career helping others while creating new opportunities for yourself could be closer than you think. We’d love to help you get started.
