Preregistration starts this month for the August massage therapy and skincare classes at Space Coast Health Institute (SCHI) in Melbourne. The program consists of courses that combine scientific knowledge of the body, a variety of techniques, communication skills and business practices. It also combines the anatomy and physiology instruction needed to be successful and a thorough “hands on” approach to massage therapy. Attendance can be full- or part-time, during the day or evenings and interest-free financing plans are available. Certification can take as little as six month. “To help our students transition successfully into the workplace, we offer comprehensive job placement assistance,” states owner Jody Stork.

Space Coast Health Institute also offers student massage and skincare services to the public for reasonable rates.
