Meet 2026 graduate of our CMT program, Pearlie Martin! Pearlie says her time at Soma prepared her for a rewarding career and taught her that the skills she provides are truly valuable. Just two months after graduating, Pearlie has passed the MBLEx, obtained her license, and secured a position in the field. Her goal is to one day start her own massage practice, specializing in sports massage and lymphatic drainage massage. We’re so proud of Pearlie and excited to see what she accomplishes next!
