Program Overview
About Our Program
The Center for Massage & Natural Health (CFMNH) was first established in the heart of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains, here in Asheville, NC in 1998. Since then, it has drawn over 1,200 beginning students and 3,000 continuing students from national and international locations interested in the field of massage and bodywork therapy and the healing arts. As a leader in the field of Massage, CFMNH received the Number 1 license from the North Carolina Board of Massage and Bodywork and has been operating continuously for twenty-five years.
In 2006, CFMNH received Institutional Accreditation by COMTA (Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation). It is now the only proprietary massage school in Western North Carolina that is Title IV approved by the United States Department of Education to offer Federal Financial Aid to its students.
Since its inception, CFMNH has graduated 100+ cohorts and over 1,200 students.
