Instructors are very well educated and are very generous sharing their knowledge and experience with students. I felt the curriculum was structured to give me the best opportunity to be a well-rounded massage therapist. The education here enabled me to pass the MBLEx national licensing examination on the first try and I am now in process to obtain my Texas license. The clinic may be the best part of the experience, giving exposure to a variety of real-world clients and scenarios. The clinic director has a wealth of knowledge and skills and is a tremendous resource for students. The 60 minute massages on offer to the public for only $55 is the biggest bargain in Austin! If you're considering a career in massage therapy, this is the best place to go in Texas. Highly recommended.

Do you like getting massages but don't have a ton of extra cash? I have an idea for you!! Massages…read morehere are $55 with no tipping and you're helping massage students get their practice on! It is a no-frills experience, but I've never had a bad massage here. I've had a few that were not amazing, but the great ones outweigh the mediocre. And with prices like this, I can come once a month! The massages happen in one big room with each massage bed, separated by hospital curtains. So you are near other people getting massaged, but you don't see them during the process and they don't see you. Times can be limited, depending on how many students are at this phase of their schooling. So please do give this a try but don't tell too many people or I won't be able to get my monthly massage in :)

Instead I picked the first school I toured with, even though I didn't get a good vibe. The Lauterstein-Conway school was very cold and most of the staff made me feel uncomfortable.

I have severe dyslexia Went in for a 60/50 minute session as Intake is part of your 60 minutes. I liked my therapist she was kind and very sweet, however I will not be returning. I myself am a licensed Massage Therapist and visit massage schools every now and then. They are cheaper than any other places around, and I enjoy being able to help and direct future therapists. (Most schools give you a evaluation form to fill out, critiquing the therapist on how they did.) When I was in school I often found that most people would give 5 stars even if the massage wasn't great. And I always appreciated when someone would actually critique me. The only way to learn is by feedback from others. With that being said I felt sorry for my therapist. I usually ask how for along they are in the program. This gives me an idea of what I should expect. She informed me that she was finished with her program and only needed to complete her clinic hours. I wasn't expecting the greatest massage in the world but definitely was hoping for better then what I got. When I arrived no one was there. My appointment was at 12 and I arrived at 11:45 so I would have time to fill out my intake form. I went in and then stepped back outside due to no one being there. I waited a few minutes and a man finally came up the stairs to great me. I filled out my intake form very basic. I was looking just to relax so didn't have much to write. My therapist arrived shortly after me and took me back to the treatment room. Usually there is a verbal intake done by the therapist, just asking about pressure, type of massage requested, focus areas or places to avoid. However she didn't ask me any questions or direct me in anyway on if she wanted me face down or up. Or even where to put my things. She just told me to let her know when I was ready and closed the door. Once I was on the table she came back into the room and started the massage. After starting she asked me what I wanted to focus on. I simply replied that I had no focus areas and just wanted to relax, but if she wanted to spend a little more time on my back that was fine. She proceeded to massage my back and it was relaxing for the most part. Something we focus on in massage is "Flow" or moving from one part of the body to another in away that makes sense or feels good to the client. Her back routine felt more repetitive then I would have liked. She kept moving from my left side of my back to the right, back to the left then back to the right. Kind of like she was just repeating the same routine multiple times to kill time. I could tell she was spending way to much time on my back and figured I wouldn't be receiving a full body massage as I expected. Once she completed my back she then moved on to my legs, draping could have been better. It didn't feel super secure, and I could tell she wasn't 100% confident yet in her draping techniques. She also didnt have good flow on my legs. She started on my calf, then did my foot, and then did the upper part of my leg. Once she completed both of my legs she informed me she was finished and my time was up. So I only got half a massage. Usually when we do "half massages" we do upper body or lower body. This is not meant to hate on my therapist. She was lovely and I hope she continues to learn and grow. My review is on the school. At This part in the program the therapist should have been more prepared. The school should have prepared her to see clients. It's obvious that the school hasn't gone over proper intake for therapists and guests. And I don't believe that the school has prepared this therapist at all. I truly feel bad for her. Knowing that she paid so much money to receive an education that was supposed to prepare her. I hope she gets a job somewhere that helps her learn and grow as an LMT. I definitely believe she has the potential to a wonderful LMT given the proper training and instruction.

We were abruptly canceled as a client with no explanation. My wife and I began regularly scheduling…read moreappointments since first going to AMA this summer. We have been long-time valued clients at other Austin-area massage schools in the past. Without any explanation, AMA staff was a complete no-show for an appointment. The door was unlocked, but no one was there. When we called to reschedule, Travis curtly told me that we were not a good fit for their clientele and they would no longer accept our reservation requests. When asked why he offered no explanation. I pressed him and he would not offer any reason. We're seniors who enjoy couples massage sessions to relieve stress, increase flexibility and basic self-care. We are puzzled and greatly disappointed by the lack of professionalism in denying us future access with no reason given. At this point, we strongly recommend looking elsewhere. That's very disappointing as we looked forward to our sessions there. However, rudeness of this kind should not be rewarded with repeat business or referrals. Loyal, repeat, courteous customers deserve respect and better treatment than this. Ever hopeful, and willing to offer AMA a second chance, we are open to revisiting and reconsidering their decision, and explaining their actions. Hopefully, this is all an unfortunate misunderstanding that can someday be resolved. We're standing by...
