New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts

'' NHITA was founded in 1983 by Robert Berube, MEd, DSc, DC and Patrick Ian Cowan, PhD. The institute has its roots in the Merrimack Valley Integral Health Center, in Hudson NH, where the founders recognized the need for thorough and professional training in massage therapy. The clinical experience of the health care facility figured prominently in the content and philosophy of the school’s massage therapy training program, which emphasizes natural approaches to health care.

As an independently functioning educational facility the school was recognized by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) in 1983. In 1992 the school was recognized by American Massage Therapy Association Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (AMTA/COMTA), and in 1999 was fully accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA).

The Hudson, NH facility has remained in continuous operation since 1983 and the Bridgton, Maine campus was opened in 1994. The Institute continued under the direction of Dr. Berube and Dr. Cowan until 1998 with the passing of Dr. Berube. In 1999 the school restructured its administration and educational directorship under the guidance of Dr. Cowan, Janet Alexis and Karen Schilling, where it continues today.
