- Everyone loves a massage. Today we’re at Mosaic Massage College. I’m Alisha Collins.
- And I’m Amanda Henderson with the Alisha Collins Real Estate Team.
- I’m Molly Tucker, and I’m the owner and director of Mosaic Massage College.
- What made you start this Massage College?
- I wanted to give Wyomingites a place to be able to get a massage education without having to leave the state, ’cause before then our options were either Salt Lake City or Colorado, or even further away, just to keep things local and allow more opportunity for a different kind of career in Wyoming and Casper especially.
- So, Molly, when do you start programs? How often and about how long do they take?
- Each program is six months long. It’s a 500 hour professional massage therapy program. So we begin every January and every July.
- All of us wanna know, do all these students practice on the local residents?
- Yes. So every student has to have 50 clinical massages as part of the curriculum. So we’re always looking for folks from the community and from the public to come and help our students learn their professional trade.
- How often do you do clinics for school?
- So that too is every six months. So, we typically get the students prepared to work on the public and then start about our second month of school and go through our sixth month. So about eight months a year.
- What’s your favorite thing about what you do?
- Oh, I don’t know if I can pick just one. I love seeing the student as they begin the program and the student as they’re ready to graduate and to see that transformation that happens and then also to hear the stories of our graduates who are happy, successful and really just passionate about what they’re doing.
- So, as far as your students go, do most of them end up staying in Wyoming or how’s that been so far?
- So far the majority have stayed in Wyoming and we’ve had students from around Wyoming, so it’s kind of nice to see how we’re spreading out into the state. But typically, most of them, as of now, have been staying here locally.
- How did you come up with the name Mosaic Massage College?
- It was really important to me to portray that massage is a healing art and all of these little pieces have to come together to build your massage therapy practice. So looking at your client from a holistic perspective, being really educated yourself and also feeling confident and comfortable. So it just creates this, this mosaic masterpiece that is our therapy.
- How long have you been open?
- We are going to have our four year anniversary in July of this year. So we’ve been open since 2019 and I’ve graduated nine classes so far.
- About how many students is that?
- When this group graduates, it’ll be 31.
- That’s so cool.
- Awesome.
- Does the skeleton have a name?
- Yes. His name is Max and this is Bob ’cause he was, he came in our bag of bones and this is Max.
- I knew it. Totally true.
- So if someone’s interested in going to Massage College how would you suggest they contact you and go about that process?
