Pacific Northwest School of Massage Continuing Education Classes
Massage CE Classes
Pacific Northwest School of Massage was launched in 2009 in Seattle, WA. Our continuing education classes are offered in Washington, Oregon, Montana, California, as well as in New Zealand, Belgium, Netherlands, and Iceland.
Brian Utting, the lead instructor, has been teaching massage therapy since 1983, starting with his entry-level school, the Brian Utting School of Massage (BUSM). With over 40 years of experience, Brian and his instructors design their classes so that the students really get the material, rather than just being exposed to it.
Classes are designed for optimal learning, retention, and usefulness in practice. Our approach and primary philosophy is mastery of fundamentals. Classes are shorter in length and smaller in size than most CE offered today. Massage therapists find our classes easier to absorb, more affordable and easier to integrate into a busy practice.
All classes are NCBTMB-approved for Continuing Education credit (provider number 451040-09) unless otherwise noted.
Please note that a minimum of 8 CE hours of live, hands-on education is required in Washington State to renew your CE requirements every two years, and in almost all cases, live classes have superior learning outcomes to webinars.
Upcoming Classes
The 2026 Pacific Northwest Massage Therapists’ Retreat at Breitenbush Hot Springs in Oregon was wonderful this year. This event has been a magical highlight of the Northwest massage community for over 35 years, and we’d love to have you join us. Breitenbush is beautiful in July; the days are long and warm, and the water’s running high.
We are continuing our tradition of relaxation, connection, exploration, hydrotherapy, and fun with superb continuing education and diverse activities for all guests, surrounded by the stunning backdrop of Breitenbush Hot Springs and its pristine river and old growth forests.
Everyone is welcome, massage therapist or not. Your friends and family are absolutely welcome to join the retreat, and there will be several events open to everyone. It is a great opportunity to connect with old friends and fellow bodyworkers, meet new friends, vacation with your family, or introduce someone you care about to this magical place.
For details and CE postings for the event, check out the PNWSM Breitenbush website, to give you an idea of how the retreat works.
