The first day at the Institute for the Massage Therapy Program was a great day for me. Angie was on point. She is really good at what she is doing. She and all the other staff, as well as enrolled students, were above and beyond welcoming. I put put at such ease by Angie immediately. I'm not going to lie, I was late !!!! GPS brings up Milan Institute in Reno first. We'll I didn't realize until I got to the Reno location. That said, Angie allowed me a few minutes to take and get grounded and merged me right into where I needed to be so well. I can not say it enough that the staff and other students were extremely friendly and eager to meet us. Each and every staff member made it a piot to come in throughout the day and introduced themselves. There are too many good things to say. The organization of everything is impeccable. There are tech platforms to navigate anything and everything. I was able to do it all right on my phone because, yep, I forgot my laptop, lol! So by the time I got settled in and logged on all my different platforms and met everyone, took a tour, got my supplies, etc. I felt so at ease about what lies ahead. I was a nervous wreck this morning, lol!!!! So thank you to Angie and the staff at Milan Institute of Sparks Nevada. I am looking forward to spending the mext six months with you and going through this journey together.

I’m currently going to school here for massage. I love it. There are so many people that make going to school here worth it. I had Page for my essentials and she was awesome. The way she presents information and explains things makes it so easy to understand. I have Kristina for the rest of my time in class and I absolutely love her. She’s so kind and understanding, and funny too. She’s a great teacher. I haven’t been in Tabitha’s class, but she has subbed a couple times and I love her as well. I have gotten massages from fellow students, Shannon, Jade, and Juliet. I recommend getting massages from all three of them. They are going to make incredible therapists.

I recently had a 60-minute advanced facial with Luvia, and it was such an incredible experience! This was my first time getting a facial, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Luvia made me feel so comfortable. She explained everything she was doing step by step, which made me feel at ease and more informed about the process. I really appreciated how she took the time to answer all my questions and make sure I understood each part of the facial. The whole experience left me feeling so relaxed, and my skin looked and felt amazing afterward. I’m so glad I booked with her, and I would definitely recommend Luvia to anyone looking for a professional, relaxing, and informative facial. She truly made the whole experience wonderful!
