Starting February 2025

MPATH is a unique, immersive, palliative certificate program for massage therapists.

MPATH is a nine-month program that combines online instruction and an externship with a palliative care team in the therapist’s area.

More than hands.

Massage therapists with palliative training communicate clearly, partner with other providers, and participate in care planning.

They take responsibility for their own emotions and their role in the care of the patients they serve.

They understand that the true value of massage therapy lies in deep clinical knowledge combined with compassion, communication, and collaboration. 

MPATH creates the conditions for massage therapists to deliver on the promise of their discipline in the setting of serious illness.

First Cohort Begins:

Who we are:

Our Mission

Touch. Teach. Advocate

We touch people affected by illness. We teach massage therapists how to provide care safely and effectively. We advocate for access to that care and for a broader role for massage therapists in healthcare.

Our Vision

Less pain. More love.

Healwell envisions a world where everyone affected by serious illness has access to specially-trained, highly-skilled massage therapists as a standard of care.

Our Philosophy

We all do better when we all do better.

Effective, human-centered care is far from standard. Healwell is changing that with partnerships to provide care that prioritizes personal connection, quality of life, and outcomes that are valuable from the perspective of the patient and the provider.

We know that this kind of care does not exist in a vacuum, and it never relies on a single discipline.
