Our School History - "Since July 1998" & Coastline Spa "Since 1989"
Dr. Kevin Dobalian, Founder & Director
Our founder, Dr. Kevin Dobalian, was raised on the east coast in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1986 and is a graduate from the University of California at Irvine. He has lived in Manhattan Beach since 1985.
He is one of 7 children and a family of five doctors, and mother was a nurse. Being raised with an educational background, he decided to open a massage college to promote the healing art of massage. In 1989, he opened Coastline Chiropractic located 2 blocks from Manhattan Beach beaches, now known as Coastline Spa in the South Bay.
In 1998, he opened South Bay Massage College located also in Manhattan Beach 5 blocks to the beach. Today, South Bay Massage College has over 1,000 hours of massage & related educational classes. As of the end of 2012, he has hired and worked closely with well over 90 massage therapists and over 1800 interns, who have performed massages at Coastline Spa & South Bay Massage College Internship Spa.
Over 150 weekly massages are performed at our spa. At any given time we have over 50 interns enrolled in our internship program. Our internship program includes up to 250 hours of Swedish and Deep Tissue massage hours.
Since being state-approved in July 1998, our students have enjoyed our amazing educational program and have acquired the foundation for a new rewarding career. We exist because of our graduates and current students and take great pride in their success.
As Dr. Kevin learned and developed his massage spa he wanted to open a massage college to make massage a better and easier way to learn with a comprehensive massage program in a beautiful learning environment.
Of which included anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, advanced anatomy, sports injuries and exercise rehab, basic & sports nutrition, body mechanics, spa therapy, chair massage, reflexology, cranial sacral, myofascial, pregnancy, shiatsu, acupressure, marketing and business classes and various advanced forms of massage therapy. Students have loved our massage classes.
Today, we are one of the most respected massage therapy programs in Southern California. Our history and network of relationships in the field continue to help our graduates have success.
