"Hälsa Hem" is a
Swedish Expression which means
"Home of Health."
We have created an educational facility, which promotes health and well being in a professional, relaxing, and fun environment.
Our policy of individualized initial “hands on one-on-one training” allows our students to be ensured of the best training possible! This defines our commitment to our students. All initial hands on training is taught to each student individually by one of our knowledgeable accredited licensed certified instructors.
The founder of our school, Shari Gross, believes that if everyone had a massage every day of their life, we would have World Peace. With each graduating student, she believes we are that much closer to attaining this Goal.
Our School's objective is to assist our students as they become Educated Professional Massage Therapists. We accomplish this Goal by surrounding our Students with encouragement, enthusiasm, and, most of all, knowledge.
The intention of the school is to encourage, support, and assist those students who graduate and wish to enter employment as Professional Massage Therapists. |
