The staff is so kind and helpful. The classes they offer will get you a great paying job faster than a traditional college. There are no “filler” classes that are a waste of time. A straight, well laid out plan to a great career! Highly recommend. The negative comments are mostly those that don’t try and received bad grades.

I come for a massage every 2 to 3 wks and every student/massage therapist that I have had has been very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and respectful but most importantly each person truly wants to be good at what they do! Not any of them would get any complaints from me! I have been very happy going there and meeting each one and my massage experience’s have really helped my neck and back pain! Thank you so much!
