Attending the Berkana Institute changed my life in so many positive ways. I received a top notch education that was the catalyst to my success in this industry. The quality of instruction and standards you are held to as a student and therapist allow you to stand out from other therapists. I became apart of a super supportive community and network of great people. It built my confidence. It helped me gain a greater understanding of myself and I wouldn’t change it for the world! If you’re looking to change your career path towards this direction, this place is the real deal. It’s not easy, but it is worth it!

Unique. Transformative. Inspiring. Professional. Engaging. Beyond Standards.Everything about my education at the Berkana Institute, from first meeting Jill at the school to getting the first job I applied for a month after graduation was exactly what I intended. Small classes and a connected community of students and professionals= incredible support. I feel like it went well beyond the standards of state requirements in the fields of academia, bodywork, board prep, and business. Very satisfying and empowering experience. I was truly given the tools I needed. All I had to bring was my presence, passion, and drive. And even those aspects of myself grew immensely. Well worth the investment, the time, and the energy to achieve a new career in life.

The education one gets at the Berkana Institute is so much more than education. Not only will you learn the best techniques for massage that will make you an incredible therapist, but you will learn about art and expression and how that applies to massage. You will learn more about yourself than you could ever imagine at any other school. Its not just about learning, its about experiencing, letting go of the old to bring in the new, loving who you are and what you do. Going beyond the lines of your comfort zone to find out what your made of, and who you really want to be. Its an experience I will always cherish and never forget. I believe it is one of the best educations that anyone could experience and well worth the money, the travel and the time off work.

The Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy far exceeded all of my expectations. The instructors are knowledgeable and care deeply for their work and the success of their students. The small class size allows each student to receive the attention they need to become the best massage therapist they can be. Not only is this program academically the best around, it takes a clear look at the emotional side of what it means to become a massage therapist. This school facilitates and supports your freedom of expression and gives you the confidence to pursue your dreams. This program completely changed my life in all the best ways possible!

The Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy is unique in that it provides depth and breadth in a short, intense amount of time. The teachers are committed to the profession of massage therapy, which means no shortcuts. They are also aware of practical considerations, so the training is affordable and allows practitioners to get into the field and begin earning money in a timely manner. The program requires a high standard of professional standards and ethics. Students are introduced to different forms of massage therapy and become experts in cutting edge bodywork. The clinic hours and requirements allow students to feel empowered to serve with confidence. The focus on entrepreneurial skills is also quite practical and necessary. The coaching, the care, the limitless support, the community all work to provide a full and comprehensive training. Mostly, the focus on individual accountability and accountability to the profession of massage therapy is what makes the Berkana Institute stand out in front.

I dont know if theres enough words in English vocabulary to describe how wonderful my experience was from the day I met Jill until the graduation. Its not easy to attend a school when English is your second language. She made me feel like home. The confidence, knowledge and experience I gained were beyond all my expectations. Jill and her school literally changed my life and for that Im forever grateful

Berkana is an amazing school for holistic massage and bodywork filled with love and wisdom. If you are looking for a school that teaches massage from all of its amazing aspects including spiritual, emotional, and physical, this is the place to go to. The teachers are all so great, with much love, knowledge and wisdom. This is a very accelerated school and you must put all of your heart and time into it for 4 months, but for some this is the best way to learn. This school is ahead of its time and is just the type of school that I believe is going to take the world into a new place.

The instructors at Berkana are very dedicated to seeing you succeed. They taught me unique ancient techniques and how to bring MY talent to a massage session. I was given lots of encouragement, advice, direction, and tips on how to better myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This isnt just your typical education, you will be opened up to new ways of thinking, moving physically, and inspiring others.If you want to be a truly amazing massage therapist, I highly recommend Berkana Institute because you will be told the truth about your massage - good or bad. This type of honesty will turn your touch into a massage your clients will want over and over.I had several favorite classes - but the one that opened my eyes the most was postural assessment. I learned how to stand properly, move efficiently, and how to help clients with their posture issues.

Studying at the Berkana Institute will challenge and reward you in the very best ways possible. I began my education at the Institute knowing that a life-altering journey in self-awareness and self-growth was about to take place. Through the whole-hearted companionship of my classmates and the profoundly compassionate support from the instructors, I grew in more ways than I could have imagined, both as massage therapist and as a human. This school not only gives its students one of the best and most holistic massage therapy educations in the country, it gives students an opportunity to change their worlds completely. Graduates leave the Institute as beautifully empowered individuals who are able to provide exceptional bodywork. This isn’t just massage therapy school—it’s soul school!

Brittanie R. Miller was very accommodating with getting me in for a massage when I visited Denver for vacation. I had a 75 minute massage with neck and buttocks pain. She was kind, professional, and effective. I left feeling less pain and more relaxed to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend her and when I return to Denver I will definitely use her again.

The small class size and individual attention allows for incredible personal growth and transformation both as a bodyworker and more generally as a person. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for an intensive, holistic approach to Massage Therapy.

I love the vibe and auras that surrounding the place, it is very soothing. i only wish i heard about out before i decide to go to a massage therapy school. It was an honor to be in its presence an receives my full praise from the Voice of Ages.

Berkana is not just a school...its an experience unlike anything else. Harmonizing scientific knowledge with creative expression, Berkana lays the perfect foundation to build exquisite body workers. Challenging students to go beyond preconceived limitations, expanding minds to see new perspectives, and opening hearts to show compassion, this school encourages personal growth and transformation. A true gem!

Berkana is the real deal. If you are looking for a massage school that goes beyond the run of the mill new trend of sterile overly-medical oriented massage schools and are seeking an authentic program that focuses on YOU as a true practitioner of wellness, this is the place. Berkana integrates East and West and the most modern information on health and massage in a way that is ALIVE and PASSIONATE. Berkana treats massage therapy as the ancient art form that it is. Many eclectic massage schools are closing because of bureaucratic financing issues. Take advantage of this unique gem of a massage school for an authentic and inspiring approach to massage therapy.

If you want your life changed for the better, Berkana is the place for you.

Excellent therapists with a wide range of specialities. They supported the Scotland Lacrosse men’s team during the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships. Being at our physical and mental peak for vital games required our players to recover quickly and fully.The support provided by Berkana Institute graduates was a vital part of this recovery process. Without their support, our players would not have been able to continually perform at the high level required of them. The team ultimately finished 6th in the world, our highest finish to date, and having exceptional massage support was a crucial factor in our success. Thank you!

Truly transformative. The education I received at the Berkana Institute was everything I could have asked for and more! Jill is an amazing mentor with beautiful intentions and a strong will to educate exceptional bodyworkers. The instructors are genuine, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. The program was challenging, it really pushed me to my limits and it gave me the opportunity to rise to the occasion, which cultivated my growth as a massage therapist and as a human being. I came out of this program feeling confident that I have what it takes to be an effective and successful massage therapist. I am filled with gratitude for this experience and for all of the wonderful people that are the Berkana Tribe!

If a top notch massage is what youre after, the Berkana Institutes student clinic is the way to go. $25 for an hour of pure bliss. These students give the best massage ever , and Ive had a lot of massages along the Front Range. They even rival most of the pros Ive recieved massage from that have been in the biz for 20 years. The late 1800s mansion really sets the mood. The students are professional, courteous, and very skilled in their art. Highly recommend this school and clinic. Thanks.

The Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy was a huge learning experience for me: from learning ancient-to-modern massage techniques - to learning about self-care for the mind, body, and spirit.The instructors give hands-on help and instruction; this attention and care helped me fine-tune my skills and develop my intuition (something I learned was important for giving a life-altering massage). I graduated feeling confident and fully prepared to start my own business (I’m now 4 years self-employed as a massage therapist)! I learned how to handle situations professionally, how to communicate clearly, proper grooming/appearance, how to be a facilitator for healing and hold space for those going through emotions…and so much more!Berkana helps students with developing a business model, marketing, and self-promotion. This IS a fully-rounded education and well worth the cost and time. I appreciate the school’s continued support past graduation, which have been very helpful in starting my own practice and obtaining licensing. I am beyond thrilled that with this education I can fully-support myself, I set my own hours, and I really enjoy the flexibility of creating my own massage space/business.My clients LOVE the techniques I bring to the table and they always ask where I went to school, and then they say “this is the best massage I’ve ever had.” I’ve always followed Berkana’s guidelines, this was the education of a lifetime and helped me rise higher than I ever imagined. Berkana truly is incredible.

I have waited a year to write a review sense I graduated. I was not sure If I walked away with everything I needed to know and I was questioning myself if I had what it takes to be a productive and confident therapist.Well, turns out...I learned everything I needed to know to be an amazing therapist and feel that I left with all of the tools I could possibly need or want and then some!I was positivley encouraged to push myself in the areas I needed to push myself. I was given constructive feedback from teachers, other students and clients daily which kept me focused in the areas I needed to focus.I am so grateful I choose The Berkana Institute and would HIGHLY reccomend this school to everyone wanting to become a Professional, Effective and Passionate Massage Therapist!
