Everest Institute
Everest Institute was founded in 1974 as the Seattle Massage School. The school was launched by a group of self-described "hippies" who wanted to offer educational alternatives to the mainstream health-maintenance doctrine. As an avenue of personal health care, massage was still very much a fringe discipline.
In September 1999, Everest announced its first significant offering outside massage with its Fitness Trainer Program. It quickly drew national attention from the complementary health care industry and employers eager to hire the program's graduates.
For Everest Institute, the vision has broadened from being a premier provider of massage education, to creating and defining the premier provider of health and wellness education on the West Coast.
Everest Institute's Easy Start program makes it simple. All you have to do is meet with a personal admissions representative to discuss your career goals and program options. Then enroll in just a few easy steps. Everest offers:

Massage Therapy
The massage field has simply exploded in the last decade, increasing the demand for qualified massage practitioners.
More people are using massage as a means of relaxation, therapy and rehabilitation. The demand for massage is growing and will continue to grow as it becomes increasingly intertwined with the mainstream medical community. More people are being referred to massage practitioners to recover from injuries and muscle- and joint-related medical problems.
Graduates of our massage program have a wide array of career options. Many choose to create and run their own massage practice while others choose to work in massage clinics, rehabilitative clinics, chiropractic offices, spas and resorts, with sports teams and as sponsors of sporting events.
