Stressbusters

Become a Stressbuster

Stressbusters are teams of student from Columbia and affiliated schools that relax Columbians by delivering free five-minute upper-body rubs at events, parties, and programs. The requirements are stress-free and the rewards keep our Stressbusters coming back for more. Since 1995, they have delivered thousands of stress  breaks at special events, in residence halls, for office staffs, and at student organization meetings. Stressbusters are not licensed massage therapists.

Training sessions usually occur at the beginnings of semesters and once or twice mid-semester. Sessions last approximately two hours, half of which you'll spend experiencing the benefits of the skills you just learned as another attendee's practice buddy.
