People who want to practice massage therapy in New Mexico are required to have a massage therapy license. To qualify for this license, the applicant is required to have at least 650 clock hours of massage education from a registered massage therapy school, pass the national licensure exam, the New Mexico jurisprudence exam, and have a high school diploma or GED.

Massage therapy licenses granted in one state are not reciprocal to other states. Each state has its own laws regulating massage therapy. Students who would like to move to another state after completing massage training at Crystal Mountain are encouraged to look into any state, county or municipal laws to insure that your education will be accepted there. ABMP.com maintains a list of the current licensing laws in every state. New Mexico requires more hours of training than many other states, but you may need additional hours in certain subjects to satisfy another state’s requirements.
