It’s a powerful statement, an inspiring vision, and a call to action that the Boulder College of Massage Therapy (BCMT) has taken up time and time again throughout its 33-year history. As a nonprofit massage school, our philosophy is to provide students with the diverse, hands-on experience they need to develop successful careers, while consistently giving back to the community through the healing power of touch.
Each year, BCMT students provide up to 10,000 hours of therapeutic touch services to individuals in need as well as organizations that serve the elderly, hospice and AIDS patients, breast cancer survivors, chronic disease sufferers, healthcare workers, rehabilitating animals, teachers, and firefighters. At Boulder Community Hospital alone, students contribute yearly on average 250 hours of therapeutic massage to patients in prenatal, postpartum, cancer, cardiac, and orthopedic care. In today’s marketplace ($1 per minute for massage), that’s worth $15,000. At 33 years, 10,000 hours a year at $60 an hour, that’s an eight-figure donation—$19,800,000—to peace.
