A Message From The Director
Laurel Highlands Therapeutic Academy (LHTA) was founded with a deep passion for the healing power of massage therapy. As an Academic Massage Therapy Provider and Education Center, we are dedicated to educating future massage therapists. This means that, in addition to our licensed massage therapists, our students also provide massage services as part of their hands-on training. It's important to note that while our students are unlicensed, they are closely supervised and are an integral part of the academic side of our services.
When the previous leadership decided to move on, I, Brandon Smith, a former student and employee, stepped in as the Director to preserve the integrity and values that made this place special. My goal was to ensure that LHTA continued to be a sanctuary where pain relief, stress reduction, and the alleviation of daily anxieties are prioritized. This commitment to providing a haven of wellness and education remains steadfast to this day, guiding everything we do at LHTA.
