Renaissance College Massage Program

History and Ownership

The Founders and Owners of Renaissance School of Therapeutic Massage, George C. and Diana Young, both Licensed Massage Therapists, felt a need to establish a school where they could share their passion for the healing arts of Therapeutic Massage and Integrative Craniosacral work.

They realized that for individuals to do more than exist, they must first begin to heal. Healing begins as an inward rebirth that grows and expands outward, opening new horizons and eventually encompassing everything and everyone around us. It is a powerful motivating force, a universal healing force that nurtures the entire human race. Their desire to reach as many individuals as possible resulted in the opening of Renaissance School of Therapeutic Massage in February of 2001.

The school became registered with the State of Utah under the Utah Postsecondary Proprietary School Act (Title 13, Chapter 24, Utah Code) on March 26, 2001. As of July, 2003, Renaissance School of Therapeutic Massage is registered under the State of Utah , Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection and in compliance with the Postsecondary Proprietary School Act (Title 13, Chapter 34, Utah Code). On July 2003, the school was accredited by ABHES.

The Youngs have designed the curriculum of Renaissance in order that graduating students who have applied themselves to this program of study will have the skills necessary to sit for the National Certification Exam and be eligible to complete their licensing application with the state of Utah. To date, we have had thirty graduating classes, graduating over 200 students.
