Our Training Programs
Since our beginning in 1994, RMI has been dedicated to creating rich and challenging programs providing students with a sound foundation of knowledge and skills. Because our curriculum is holistically oriented, we are equally committed to providing an environment that allows for self-reflection and integration. Through this approach, we are able to graduate well-rounded, resourceful therapists.

We support and guide our students as they become aware of their own physical, emotional, and spiritual healing process. Students at RMI develop an awareness and wisdom that can be passed on to those they touch. Learning the healing arts can create an awakening of the mind, body and spirit, enriching one’s life experience forever.

The Alabama State Board of Education approves all of our Massage Therapy Certification programs and our graduates are eligible to sit for the National Certification Exam. RMI is a member of the AMTA Counsel of Schools.
