Education

At Fit Life we are always learning and trying to stay current in new modalities, current science, and effective practices. To that end, we host continuing education every month for massage therapists to maintain their licenses as well as in-house training for our own therapists. Please see the Current Classes section for the list of available classes.

Steve Cartlidge has taught continuing education classes to thousands of massage therapists for over 20 years. Students travel from all over the state to attend his classes and enjoy his dynamic teaching style and insight from experience. He has been licensed for nearly 30 years and brings a wealth of knowledge.

Steve teaches 12 different classes in a wide variety of subjects that give therapists a well-rounded education for any type of practice from spa to medical clinic. Each class is Texas-approved for 6 hours of CEU credit. We are honored to have him teach at our facility every month.
