The Academy of Natural Therapy, Inc. was founded by Dorothy Mongan. It was incorporated in Colorado on October 30, 1989. Dorothy started the school out of her own passion for teaching and also because well trained and professional therapists were needed in Northern Colorado.

In 1995, Jeremiah James Mongan, became co-owner of the Academy of Natural Therapy, Inc., and joined the school administration as the Academy’s Executive Director. The school has grown in size and distinction every year by up-to-date methods of massage and experienced teachers using excellent and time tested curriculums for the Massage Programs.

The Academy of Natural Therapy provides a strong, comprehensive Massage Therapy Program. From the very beginning, the Academy embraced the philosophy that massage is primarily the art of caring for people. The Academy’s Massage Therapy Program is founded on the idea of treating the whole person and helping the body to heal itself.

The well-rounded curriculum of the Massage Therapy Program encompasses a broad foundation of how the body works, and how Massage Therapists can assist individuals in a practical, as well as therapeutic sense. Keeping these concepts in mind, the Academy maintains the following important principles:

• The Academy will charge a competitive and fair price for the Massage Therapy program.
   
• The Academy will provide an educational environment for maximum learning and practical application of the massage skills necessary to pursue a rewarding career.
   
• The Academy will embrace change as needed and continue to enhance the quality of the educational program.

The Academy of Natural Therapy offers students the highest quality of education as well as the most advanced techniques of Massage Therapy available. To that end, the Academy of Natural Therapy is committed to providing graduates with the skills necessary to offer effective and professional care to clients.
