Professional Licensed Massage Therapists are available 5 days a week, by appointment. Our Professionally Licensed Massage Therapists provide Deep Tissue Massage techniques such as: Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Myofascial Release, with varying degrees of pressure to help the body let go of the tension patterns it is holding.Many of our staff are trained in advanced techniques through Medical Massage training to help certain chronic conditions which affect pain patients and cancer patients.
Since 2013, A Gathering Place has piloted Hybrid Learning, where the lecture based classes are watched in an online format prior to coming to class. This affords a "deeper discussion" of the material which is part of the Massage Therapy Program. We believe this mode of learning has helped our students excel in their studies.

I left here today feeling rejuvenated. All my stress points were addressed. I plan to come back again.

A Gathering Place Massage Therapy Center is the place to study massage therapy. Cindy, a Leader in Love and connection to Spirit changed my world and consciousness. My time at this school transformed me and planted seeds that continue to blossom in my life now. I am so grateful for the time invested in my education and all that I learned from Cindy. Highly Recommend!

This Facebook page says they are open. Google says they are open. After reading through their services, I make a couple attempts to call. No answer, no problem. I figure they are busy. I drive up there. There is a lady vacuuming. I asked if they were open, she replied "we are not open." I asked, "When will you be open again?" She said, "Not today." She never even turned off her vacuum until after I walked away. I cannot see that this will be a place that I will gather.

Cindy the owner is the best massage therapist I've ever been to. She has been keeping my body healthy for over 5 years. I put a lot of stress on it due to being a professional athlete and she knows exactly what techniques to use and exactly the cause of the issue when I have them. I won't go anywhere else. She is amazing at her passion and her soul matches that talent.

I have lived all over the US and have never had such a high quality deep tissue massage. Cindy is fantastic, listens closely to what your problem areas are and knows what she is doing!

I went to school here and it was the best and most fulfilling experience. I not only recommend the massage therapists here but as a school I learned a lot of varied techniques as well as about business and personal growth. If your looking for a new career built on solid teaching styles or just an hour massage to relieve muscle pain this is the place to go!
