The in-depth anatomy goes hand in hand with technical (hands-on) massage coursework as well as introductions to various modalities of massage, business, ethics, law-everything that is required by the board. As a massage therapist if you're not willing to learn anatomy, you aren't dedicated to the profession, period. I got everything I wanted and more out of a massage school education, and I graduated as a confident and competent body worker and didn't need extra prep for the MBLEX because of their great coursework. Love them!!

CE's are excellent here! I want to shout out Darren Cadwell. I attended the most recent…read moreneuromuscular therapy workshop for treating head and neck pain and the first day was lecture, a very engaging and fun class jam packed with information. The second day, humorously, I woke up doubled over in a migraine on the day of the hands-on portion and I tried to overcome it and make it to class but I absolutely could not. I just assumed that I would have to retake it the next round and resigned myself to staying home... instead I received a compassionate email with well wishes and inquiring about when to make up the hours! I thought that was very nice and demonstrates a lot of humanity ~ excited to continue my NMT education

She was more than just my intrepid advocate, she was sleeves up doing more than even the nurses, I swear. My baby was sunnyside up and would not come out. Jessica did everything in her power to get her out without having to give up. Jess was everywhere all at once, coaching me, cheering, changing positions, making sure I was heard when I wanted to go down on my epidural. She even took gorgeous photos to boot! After having such a tempestuous postpartum, I am *so* happy I had Jess by my side to make the birth a perfect one. I am incredibly grateful to her. I don't know how I got so lucky!

Jessica and Chai were key to our positive birth experience. Our pre-natal visits were informative and comforting as we developed our birth plan, and they provided immediate responses via text to questions we had about varying aspects of pregnancy and labor/delivery. We also took advantage of Kooshlie's Childbirth, Boob, and Bootie Camps, all of which were extremely informative for first-time parents. On the day, Chai met us at the hospital and stayed by our side. She helped us work through the many questions L&D threw our way and provided hands-on care during contractions, which helped immensely. Now one month post-partum, we could not imagine navigating this experience without them. We will definitely seek support from Jessica and Chai again with our second child and would recommend both of them in a heartbeat for anyone expecting a little one.

Unfortunately these teachers had an unconventional teaching style and were fired shortly after the new principal arrived a couple years ago. 8th grade was the easiest year of school i've ever had in my life, after febuary you could literally just walk out of class to join your friends and the teacher wouldn't care. Also the 8th grade outer banks trip was awesome, though we messed it up for the rising 8th graders by getting into trouble consistently, (urinating off of the hotel balcony, trashing the hotel room, etc.) The school has been ridiculed in recent years for being lenient with bullying however in my time there I never witnessed any bullying past your run of the mill middle school drama which was often dealt with efficiently. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good education and good opportunities. It also feeds into Asheville High which is the best high school in the area

I am a 76 year old retired US Foreign Service Officer (Department of State). For the past several…read moreweeks I have joined three or four other men volunteering to help a male third grade teacher at Black Mountain Primary School teach chess to about 30 boys and girls.The teacher has done the same at another school. We begin after school each Monday at 2:40 p.m. and stay till about 3:30. I am told that the school has seven third grades and the children learning to play chess come from all seven classrooms. My first impressions of the school were very favorable and remain so. All the school children whom I have observed are very well behaved, notably un-noisy, as they march in lines to leave school. The interior of the one-storey building appears to be octogonal and is in itself a lesson in geography. The library is large and without walls. The cafeteria also is large and immaculately clean. The overall impression is: this school is spacious, uncramped, brightly lighted, friendly. I have seen children at the end of our chess sessions escorted by our third grade teacher sponsor to the back parking lot to be picked up by parents. If after ten minutes teachers do not appear, back he brings the boys and girls to a central area to wait for their parent(s). The children's safety is clearly a priority. The principal is much in evidence and seems a benevolent presence. The youngsters themselves learning the elements of chess are a joy to teach. They are eager, bright, full of questions. Bottom line: my eight grandchildren live either in South Carolina or Dallas. The former six are home-schooled, the latter attend a Catholic parochial school. My earlier similar adult experience with American public schools was in Detroit -- a war zone. I would feel my grandchildren safe and in good, caring hands if they attended Black Mountain Primary School. -OOO- T. Patrick Killough 10/25/2011
