Continuing Education for Licensed Massage Therapists

CEBroker and NCBTMB-approved, hands-on massage continuing education in Florida and beyond. Learn Ashiatsu barefoot massage, neuromuscular therapy, mat-based bodywork, and advanced techniques in small, supportive classes designed for practicing massage therapists.

Our approach

Massage therapy is evolving
and our education should evolve with it.

At The LMT Refinery, we guide massage professionals into a new way of thinking about bodywork: one rooted in curiosity, movement, critical reasoning, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.

This is the essence of a paradigm shift

which is a fundamental change in how we understand and apply therapeutic touch.

We create continuing education courses for licensed massage therapists that push our profession forward.

We offer live, in-person continuing education in Ashiatsu barefoot massage, mat-based bodywork, neuromuscular therapy, and advanced hands-on techniques that challenges the status quo and expands what’s possible in your practice.

We don’t just teach techniques.
We teach therapists to see differently.


To think differently.
To work differently.
To step into mastery.

Small classes. Deeper understanding.

We’re committed to making sure you leave confident, clear, and ready to bring what you’ve learned straight into your practice.

You’ll never get lost in a crowded classroom, our small groups naturally create connection. Your classmates become colleagues and friends, and the support you receive in class continues long after the weekend ends.

Laughter, encouragement, and real community are always part of the experience when you’re with us.

 

Live-In Person Classes.

We believe learning massage in person is vital. Our flagship location is inside The Elm Massage + Bodywork in Palm Harbor, Florida, where we offer live, hands-on, NCBTMB-approved continuing education for licensed massage therapists. Conveniently located between Tampa and Clearwater, our Florida location is an easy drive from both Tampa and St. Pete/Clearwater airports.

We also have Barefoot Massage instructors in Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota, allowing us to bring The LMT Refinery’s small-group, supportive approach to more therapists across the country. Visit our team page to learn more about each instructor and location.

“This is what massage CEs should feel like”

I have taken many continuing education courses in my 20 years as an LMT. The LMT Refinery offers a beautiful space & intimate class setting perfect for learning. In the past, I have often taken classes that either left me feeling overwhelmed with content or just the opposite…not enough tangible content for practical use. These educators have a depth of knowledge and a passion for elevating the massage profession. The skills and understanding I’ve gained in just a few CE’s has me excited to take more of their classes in the future.
