Spa Tech Institute school of Massage, Polarity, Aesthetics/Skin Care and Cosmetology was formed to address the convergence occurring of the salon, spa and massage industries. Spa Tech was formed with the intention of creating a school that combines the salon, spa, massage and polarity disciplines. It has been a wonderful success for a number of reasons. First, the people attracted to cosmetology, massage and polarity share many similar desires to help people look and feel their best. Secondly, the educational maturity of the cosmetology profession combined with the educational innovation of the massage and polarity therapy professions have benefited both programs. And third, because our graduates have a better understanding of all aspects of the industry, they are better prepared to go into a professional day spa or destination spa setting and have the skills that are needed to succeed.

Spa Tech Institute™ massage school, polarity school and cosmetology school was created to prepare people to be successful in the full range of settings for massage therapy, polarity therapy and cosmetology. Our massage therapy graduates are equally at home working with doctors, physical therapist, athletes, artists, day spas, salons and private massage clinics or personal professional practices. Spa Tech Institute's Polarity Therapy graduates are also equally skilled in all of the above mentioned settings but are also specifically well suited for working with mental health practitioners, artists and business people that are looking for more clarity, creativity and endurance. And our Cosmetology graduates in Portland, Maine are noted for their higher level of readiness to be productive with high end services in color and makeup as well as having excellent cutting and styling skills based on the Pivot Point International educational system.

In the last 3 years there has been another major development in the rise of skin care or esthetics. The significant scientific breakthroughs in products and techniques along with a huge baby boomer population that are now concerned about their appearance more than ever before, has created phenomenal opportunities for aestheticians. In keeping with the school's tradition of being on the leading edge, the Polarity Realization Institute Education Development Company that provides the massage and polarity therapy curricula for the school, developed an Aesthetician Program that is based on holistic or natural approaches that are geared for the future of aesthetics. With the addition of aesthetics, the school is now the leading school in the country that provides a training in all the major spa modalities. Additionally, the esthetics school curriculum is based on the same deep understanding of energy and touch as embodied in the massage and polarity therapy programs. This concept, as pioneered by PRI Education Development Company is called HumanHaptics™. This revolutionary concept infuses the aesthetician graduates with a technique that is unique in the industry and destined to become a future standard.

Spa Tech Institute is very excited about the programs that are offered and the quality of our graduates. We are also continuing to look towards the future to be an industry leader, not only in massage, polarity, aesthetics and cosmetology, but also in the career education field. We see the opportunity to train people for a meaningful and rewarding career as only one important part of what we do. We are also committed to prepare our graduates to be more successful in all aspects of their lives. To this end the programs are designed to help teach the communication and critical thinking skills needed to be successful. As a massage therapist, polarity therapist, aesthetician or cosmetologist, knowing the skills is only part of the formula for success. The other part is knowing how to communicate what you are doing as well as having the skills to continue to improve and raise the quality of your work.

I hope you are able to join our growing family of graduates from the massage school, polarity school, aesthetics school and cosmetology school that have been responsible for setting the industry standards to higher levels and drive the expansion of the field. As a graduate you will join an elite group of massage, polarity, aesthetics and cosmetology professionals that are among the most successful in the industry. Many teachers and directors of other massage schools and polarity therapy school programs are graduates of the PRI programs, a fact that some schools do not publish because they are insecure about their new programs and don't want to let prospective students know that the source of their teaching staff is from another school in the area. Many of the cosmetology school graduates work at or manage some of the most prestigious salons, day spas and destination spas in the industry. And graduates of the new aesthetics school programs are getting rave reviews from spas and day spas throughout New England.

Quality education in massage school, polarity school, aesthetics school and cosmetology school are at the heart of what we teach. The school recognizes that education is a precious opportunity to change a person's life for the better. This is a responsibility that we take seriously. Every student is important to us. We are committed to helping you realize your dream to become the best massage therapist, polarity therapist, aesthetician/skin care therapist or cosmetology/beautician possible. We are also passionate about helping you be fully prepared to work in a salon, clinic, hospital, day spa, destination spa or to start your own private practice.
