Frequently Asked Questions

Our Rancho Mirage school location closed on March 29th, 2026, and Somatherapy has begun an exciting new chapter. We are now focused on online enrichment courses and instructional retreats in the Coachella Valley and Hawaii. Administration remains available for students and graduates.

Transcripts remain available directly from us. You can order online: an unofficial transcript (emailed PDF) is $20.00, and an official signed, embossed transcript (mailed to CAMTC, you, or any licensing agency or school) is $45.00 — please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery of official transcripts. Visit the Transcripts page to order. Transcripts are also available directly through BPPE.

No. We no longer offer certification coursework or credits toward CAMTC certification. Our online courses are enrichment and continuing education — each paid course awards a certificate of completion and competence in the areas covered, verified by Somatherapy.

Courses run 1 to 15 days. Each day includes an article, a slide presentation, a short quiz, and a professional video lesson (15-60 minutes) with slow motion, freeze frame, and zoom so you can study technique in detail. Some courses also include live sessions with the instructor.

Courses are priced at about $30 per day — for example, a 10-day course is $295. Completing a paid course earns a certificate of completion, and you can retake any completed course at half price.

In-person instructional retreats, 1 to 8 days, taught by our instructors in Hawaii and the Coachella Valley. Each retreat page lists the dates, location, and course taught. Watch the Retreats page and calendar as offerings are announced.
