The clinic will be closed over the College’s spring break, from March 12 to 16.

Healthy Essence has four private rooms. They are sectioned off with curtains, and therapeutic massage students can work with clients to address their massage needs.
The hour-long full-body relaxation massage will be from a student in the Fort Wayne Campus’s Therapeutic Massage program. Massages run $25 for the community and $20 for Ivy Tech employees and students, military personnel, and those 55 and older. Tips are not accepted, but those who wish to tip can choose to donate to a charity chosen by the students.
To make an appointment, email fw-tmsclinic@ivytech.edu or call 260-480-2094. Please note that clients can schedule no more than two massages a month.
