Kathy was extremely nice as a person very welcoming. As far as signing up for the program she was very discouraging. She told me there was no way I can work full time be a parent and attend this school. I completed the enrollment she then signed me up for financial aid. I asked to reschedule my financial aid until my transcript came in. She refused said we can still do everything without the transcript. I completed everything went through all the paperwork just for Kathy to ask for my transcript 2 days after. 2 seconds after receiving them she called me to say I can’t start because the trade school I went to didn’t offer enough credits for the program. She then went on to say “you can do one of the other programs offered here just not this one” “or you can go to college for two years and come back after”. She doesn’t have a heart when it comes to people feelings after they’re told a start date and graduation date then can’t do it. Things happen for a reason and after reading the reviews I should’ve went with my gut the first encounter with her and left.

Massage Therapy Certification
(8-month day program | 12-month evening program)
In our Massage Therapy Program, students gain a fundamental understanding of Anatomy/Physiology and Pathology which is critical in determining when massage is appropriate for a client. Students are nurtured as they develop their basic Swedish Massage techniques and gain exposure to an entire range of specialized modalities that range from theraputic deep tissue techniques to light touch/no touch relaxation techniques.
Our Program is designed to prepare students to become entry-level Massage Therapists. This level of education enables them to sit for certification/licensure exam offered by the National Certification Board for Theraputic Massage and Bodywork or the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards.
