Lisa Helbig, the owner and creator of ITM since its inception, has also been instrumental in the development of other massage and aesthetician schools (both before and after opening ITM), massage based curriculums, hospital based massage programs, community / charity based outreach, CEU based videos, and a book on hot stone massage.
ITM has operated multiple massage therapy school locations in New Jersey for more than 10 years, has over 40 staff and adjunct trainers, and has also been active in several of the massage organizations that operate nationwide. Through these activities, we have developed strategic relationships that allow us to provide a number of services to both the massage therapy and general community-at-large upon request. This includes on and off-site training, program, curriculum and treatment plan development, corporate and charity based events, and the supply of massage and spa therapy products.
Training
With over 40 staff instructors, and a number of adjunct trainers, ITM is available to come to your spa or treatment facility to do staff development. We have also been hired to design new spa and massage treatment protocols based on the latest research and market trends. A number of regional spas, chiropractors, and other professional organizations have consistently sent their massage and spa practitioners to our school to continue their education and learn new treatment modalities.
Program and Curriculum Development
Having developed the entire curriculum for all five of our programs in-house (Massage and Bodywork, Eastern Bodywork – Shiatsu, Massage & Personal Training, Medical Massage, Clinical Massage), our curriculum development team is available to do the same type of work for your organization. Whether you are looking to open a new massage therapy school from scratch, or currently operate another type of institution and are looking to add this type of program, we can develop the coursework and also come to your location to train your staff on how to implement it.
We also develop coursework / CEU packages for distance learning education that focuses on massage therapy; primarily done through videotape and DVD. If you have an idea that you would like to develop a full video-based CEU based course for, a video / DVD that you would like to attach CEU's to, or an educational idea, please contact us at:

Corporate Events
Research has shown that by having a massage therapist provide basic massage therapy to your staff reduces work related stress and absenteeism while increasing productivity.
We have a team of massage therapists that offer on-site corporate chair massage. This can be arranged during the workweek, or for special day, evening, and weekend corporate events.
All services are by appointment only, and we recommend that you make your appointment at least 48 hours in advance. Please call 973-839-6131 for more information about the services offered through our Haskell, NJ location.
