At the Sarasota School of Massage Therapy, our mission is to train students to become skillful, responsible, and caring massage therapists, and to provide an opportunity for personal growth and awareness. An SSMT student performing massage before an educational poster SSMT is a place that cultivates powerful change. Since 1978, in various locations, under various stewardship, it has been assembling an inspiring faculty, crafting a phenomenal curriculum, and training successful professionals. We are a community of massage therapy educators with, collectively, more than 300 years in practice.
