We provide the highest level of massage and bodywork education to graduate students who are therapeutically masterful, professionally successful, and personally fulfilled. Founded in Austin by David Lauterstein and John Conway, The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School first opened its doors in 1989. With a mission of treating others in the manner as healing as the skills they teach, John and David created an environment which has nurtured thousands of students into becoming practicing LMTs (licensed massage therapists). Vision To make the world a better place through teaching the art and science of touch. We are dedicated to running the school in a manner as healing as the subjects we teach. Values Educational Excellence Our experienced instructors are enthusiastic and dedicated to teaching the highest level of massage and bodywork to each student.
