Larry Heisler, M.A., LMT
One of New Jersey's massage therapy pioneers (since 1975), 2019 Massage Therapy Hall of Fame recipient, Larry Heisler, M.A., LMT is the founder and director of the longest running massage school in the Garden State (since 1980), The North Jersey Massage Training Center (originally called The New Jersey School of Massage), located at the Parsippany Medical Complex now 42 years.
Larry has taught massage therapy to thousands of students as his school has dramatically affected the massage and bodywork industry in his beloved State of N.J. His revolutionary approach to bodywork is based on the combination of deep tissue/medical massage with the direct influence the acupuncture meridian system (Energetic System) has on the human musculature. His first book, Soft Tissue Revolution: The New Bodywork Paradigm is based on the clinical experience Larry has in treating over 60,000 patients including many world class athletes. He has presented thousands of lectures, classes and workshops and has given keynote presentations for dozens of organizations, companies and colleges including six Hospital Grand Rounds presentations to their medical staffs.
Currently, Larry's school no longer offers an undergraduate massage program.
He stopped offering a beginner’s program when the economy crashed in 2006. Schools in NJ were going under from the economic fall-out and folks that routinely received weekly massage therapy were hesitant to spend money. Turned out massage therapists in NJ could not even afford simple necessities like rent and health insurance. Larry felt it was bad karma to take money from new perspective students under the guise that they were entering a lucrative, wide-open profession and decided to stop offering an entry level program all together. Instead, he decided to offer classes to improve the competitive skills of already licensed practitioners by offering advanced education on a continuing education basis.
Today, Larry's school is the largest provider of continuing education for massage therapists in the tri-state region. And while dozens of highly qualified educators share their talents at his school, Larry personally teaches over a dozen different classes himself.
Aside from his extensive education in massage therapy, Larry holds additional degrees and certifications in psychotherapy, nutrition, education and ministry. This year Larry celebrates the 44th anniversary of officiating at his weekly meditation class called the Open-Heart Healing and Meditation Circle. Since 1975, Larry has taught over 3,500 meditation classes. As per his teacher’s directive, Larry has never charged for a meditation class. His latest book, The Book of Life: An Owner’s Manual has sold out on Amazon. Larry's philosophy of life is two-fold; to learn and grow in every way you can and then to use your gifts to uplift, inspire and serve others wherever you are sent. Essentially, to grow and serve.
