Filed under Associate of Science
The Associate of Science in Holistic Health degree program includes all the course work required for the Massage Therapy and Holistic Health Practitioner certificate programs, and an additional 225 clock hours (20.5 units) in coursework. The entire Associate of Science program may be completed by full-time students within nine quarters, by three-quarter-time students within 12 quarters, and by half-time students within 18 quarters. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, graduates will be qualified to work as self-employed private practice therapists and as advanced level practitioners (HHP) in spas, health clinics, medical offices, chiropractic offices, hotels and resorts.
Success in the body therapy relationship is determined by the authenticity and clarity of the therapeutic relationship, and as such, the program places significant emphasis on the student’s self-exploration and transformation. Intensive experiential components of the curriculum have been designed to aid the student in self-discovery, for only by knowing oneself with insight and compassion can a holistically-oriented therapist obtain the inner wisdom necessary to help others.
We have chosen three educational methods best known to empower students as learners:
- Dialogue means that teaching centers on discussion rather than lecture. Students are expect- ed to read the materials and come prepared to discuss them. The instructor’s role is to question, evoke, and assist, rather than pass personal conclusions.
- Dynamics of Personal Learning supports students in understanding and developing their personal learning style and brilliance. The Self-Directed Learning project is planned and organized in this course.
- Self-Directed Learning means that the student actively participates in evolving his or her course of study. Students have considerable latitude in selecting the content and the way the subject matter is approached and explored.

Essentials of Massage & Bodywork
The Essentials of Massage & Bodywork (Essentials) course is the foundation for learning at IPSB, for professional training, personal growth, or spiritual development. It is the prerequisite for the Massage Therapy Certificate program and the foundation for the College’s philosophical approach to learning. It gives the student a solid core of skills, knowledge, and experiential understanding of the integration of Body-Mind-Emotions-Spirit through the work of holistic body practices.
The coursework is based on a “three centers” concept: the physical, emotional, and intellectual centers. The physical center (legs and lower abdomen) relates to the physical instinct and the concept of being grounded and able to take care of one’s needs. The emotional center (chest) relates to the heart and the flow of emotions to the outside world. The intellectual center (head and neck) relates to being aware of the outside world, organizing the senses, and understanding what is going on.
The Essentials of Massage and Bodywork course is designed to create an opening and integration of these centers in the student and to give a format for balancing and opening these centers in others.
This course qualifies the student to apply basic massage techniques on family, friends, and others. Completion of this class does not ensure employment in most areas. Please refer to the “Massage Therapy Licensing” section for more information.
The Essentials course can be taken for continuing education and personal growth or as the beginning level of the professional academic training. Although some individuals may find work in the field (depending on state and/or local educational requirements), this course on its own does not meet the professional standards of AMTA, the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, or the minimum levels of licensure in the City of San Diego.
Those students who plan to become professional massage therapists and bodyworkers are expected to continue their education at least through the Massage Therapy certificate program, and are strongly recommended to obtain the Holistic Health Practitioner certificate. The opportunity for more academic studies is available in the Associate’s degree program.
Besides covering theory and practice of circulatory massage (which includes both Swedish and Esalen styles), Essentials students are introduced to Sensory Repatterning, self-massage, and deep tissue massage. Tai Chi, Educational Kinesiology, and the IPSB Movement series are also taught as support work for grounding, body mechanics, and energy generation.
Lessons taught in the Essentials class include:
Anatomy, Physiology, Hygiene
Massage Techniques
Body Mechanics
Ethics, Business and Legal Issues
Practical application (Supervised Practice)
Somatic Psychology
Support and Maintenance systems
Specific class dates and hours for Essentials and the Supervised Practice sessions are listed in each Quarterly Schedule of Classes.
