At the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics, our principle goal is to turn out experienced and compassionate massage therapists. We accomplish this through our high-caliber faculty and our carefully crafted, extremely experiential, hands-on program.
Students will learn and practice the vast variety of bodywork modalities taught at the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. Classes consist of some philosophy lecture, but most of the time will be spent giving and receiving treatments of each and every bodywork modality. These classroom treatments, along with experienced gained through working in our student internship clinic, prepare graduates of our program for a rewarding career helping people in the field of massage therapy and natural therapeutics.
- When people are born, they’re supple and soft;
When they die, they end up stretched out firm and rigid;
When the ten thousand things and grasses and trees are alive, they’re supple and pliant;
When they’re dead, they’re withered and dried out.
Therefore we say that the firm and rigid are companions of death,
While the supple, the soft, the weak, and the delicate are companions of life.
If a soldier is rigid, he won’t win;
If a tree is rigid, it will come to its end.
Rigidity and power occupy the inferior position;
Suppleness, softness, weakness, and delicateness occupy the superior position.Lao Tzu
