One of the most attractive aspects of becoming a professional massage therapist or personal trainer is the versatility it offers, including the choice of either full-time or part-time employment. While many graduates choose to work in their own businesses, as a private practitioner, the majority seek more structured employment situations typically offered by day spas, health clubs, hospitals, retirement centers and doctors' offices.  

Today, MTTI-WellSpring graduates with personal trainer certification and massage therapist certification are active both in private practice and more-structured employment situations, including health clubs, hospitals, chiropractic offices, day spas, wellness centers, beauty salons, physical therapy rehabilitation centers, retirement homes, sports teams, and so on. Graduates typically earn between $28-$70 for a one-hour session, depending on the employment structure.

Because WellSpring is highly regarded in the community, we always have open job orders from potential employers looking to hire our graduates. WellSpring's career services team works with each student to help them discover the work situation that best meets their needs, and then we connect them with employers in the area. While most of our graduates find employment soon after graduation, employment success rests largely with the individual student, and is never guaranteed.

As a massage therapy and personal fitness training school in Kansas City and Lawrence, here are some of the employers that we work with:

• Bodyworks Day Spa

• Stress Medics

• Prairie Life Fitness
