At Columbia River Institute of Massage Therapy, our mission is to provide superior massage therapy education in North Central Washington. We are committed to continually advancing the massage therapy profession through the training of future massage therapists. Our vision is to create a small, intimate learning environment that focuses on the individual strengths and talents of each student.
Our Vision
We at Columbia River Institute of Massage Therapy believe that massage therapy is a unique combination of art and science. Our program is designed to teach both the science behind massage, including anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology, as well as the artistic aspect of massage, where students bring their own unique talents and skill sets to the table. We strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where students can grow and develop their own unique style of massage.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive 750-hour massage therapy program that spans 10 months. Our program is designed to give students a well-rounded education in massage therapy, including both theoretical and practical training. Our curriculum is individualized to meet the unique needs and strengths of each student. We strive to create a small, intimate learning environment that fosters growth and development.
Tuition and Enrollment
Our tuition includes all necessary books, supplies, and student liability insurance. We also offer a payment plan to make our program more accessible. However, we do not offer grants, scholarships, or outside funding. We do accept Federal Financial Aid and other forms of payment.

This valuable practical experience will help students develop their skills and build their confidence as future massage therapists.

Hygiene and Safety
The reviews also suggest that the school takes safety and hygiene seriously. Crystal De La Cruz notes that the owner opens the door for clients when they arrive for appointments, potentially as a precaution during the pandemic. This gives her the impression that the school is committed to keeping everyone safe.
