Celebrating 30 Years of Excellence

February 20 - December 28, 2024

In the heart of British Columbia's picturesque Okanagan Valley,  OV has been shining brightly for three decades. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary here  at Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy (OVCMT), we reflect on our journey, our achievements, and the amazing contributions that have shaped our institution into what it is today.

Since 1994, OVCMT has been steadfast in its commitment to providing top-tier education in the field of  registered massage therapy. Over the years, we have remained dedicated to our mission of producing highly skilled and compassionate massage therapists who positively impact the health and wellness of individuals and communities worldwide.

At the heart of our success lies our experienced staff. Our faculty comprises industry veterans, each bringing a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and real-world experience to the classroom. With years of practice and a deep understanding of massage therapy principles, they mentor and guide our students, imparting not just technical skills but also the artistry and intuition that define a truly exceptional therapist. But it's not just about what happens within the walls of our college; it's also about the relationships we've cultivated within the industry. Over the years, OVCMT has forged strong connections with healthcare professionals, wellness centers, and massage therapy associations. These partnerships provide our students with  opportunities for networking, mentorship, and real-world experience, setting them up for success in their careers upon graduation.

Experience matters, and at OVCMT, we understand the profound difference it makes to the student experience. Our curriculum is carefully crafted to blend theory with hands-on practice, allowing students to apply their learning in a supportive and nurturing environment. From anatomy and physiology to advanced massage techniques, our programs are designed to equip students with the skills and confidence they need to excel in their careers. Our evidence informed curriculum ensures our education is in line with the latest research in the field.

As we mark this significant milestone, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of the OVCMT journey – our dedicated staff, passionate students, supportive alumni, and industry partners. Together, we have built a legacy of excellence that will continue to shine bright for many years to come.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to innovation, growth, and excellence in massage therapy education. As we embark on the next chapter of our journey, we do so with a renewed sense of purpose and a steadfast commitment to empowering the next generation of massage therapists to make a difference in the world.

Here's to 30 years of excellence, and to many more years of success, impact, and transformation at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy. Cheers to the journey ahead.
