"BTI is continuing education and support for my career. I am always referring my clientele and bodyworkers to BTI.   It is the most healing and integrated of all the Santa Barbara massage schools.  When you take the Trigger Point Course, you not only receive training, but you receive hours upon hours of corrective bodywork. This particular course with John Harris eliminated my chronic low-back pain.  BTI is THE radical massage school you are looking for, and the school responsible for many people's success in this field!"

SBBTI Grad Takes Massage to Buenos Aires
Anatomy
"For each session, I would load my North Face backpack with massage tunes and portable speakers, sheets, creams and table, hop in a cab through the busy Buenos Aires streets, and find the way to my client's hotel.  I would come away from those sessions feeling rejuvenated and alive. I would often return home and melt into the couch, balanced, at ease and thinking, "This is it, this is why I practice massage."
 
"Having the ability to practice massage while living abroad enabled me to stay grounded and at peace. I feel truly blessed that my first real world experiences were as a body worker."
 
Linnea Villegas, 200 hr graduate, current 550 student
