Really great massage, especially for the price. I had a student massage me, and she was wonderful. I will definitely be back!
This review is for overall impressions of the business, not for a massage. This is a massage school staffed by warm, friendly instructors and students who are committed to providing excellent service while pursuing training. The only reason it's missing a star is because the lack of obvious signage makes it a little hard to find. I was warmly welcomed, treated with respect and would definitely go back. I'm not rating my massage because 1) I need really deep work for a chronic issue and 2) the kind of massage I need usually doesn't really feel good. It's super helpful, but difficult. However, my therapist was an instructor and he listened well and as I said, I would be happy to go back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE FOR SCHOOL!! If I could do it again I would go somewhere different. This is NOT a quality education program. They get you through quick and that's it. Especially for the price and sacrifice of learning, it isn't worth it. Short programs must be done in high quality to properly prepare students and this place is far from it with poor education standards and rude management. IT isn't worth saving a little time to sacrifice being properly trained. You will NOT learn what you need to pass the MBLEx here, nor will you accurately learn much outside of very basic massage and some stretching; in fact several things were taught WRONG and seemed potentially even dangerous at times. The course catalogue claims that you will receive training for a specific number of hours in modalities, pathologies, and topics that you NEVER learn unless you teach yourself. The "promise" of learning these things is false pretense at best. If you're lucky, some things will be randomly mentioned in class as you sporadically skim through the book in a disorganized out of order way. All the while you are lead by a teacher with little to no preparation, who is often uninformed about key topics (disclaimer; the teacher is delightful, but not a good teacher at all, nor is he experienced in enough modalities to be the sole teacher of massage for an entire school). It is fair to mention that the anatomy teacher is fantastic and if we were going to school to be nurses, would have fit the program nicely. While interesting, the focus of the class wasn't well aligned with massage. We learned muscles and bones weeks after starting clinical massages (which is very very bad) As if this weren't bad enough, the management is not easy to work with. Responsible adult students are treated punitively, and are frequently met with hostility, and disrespect by the person who is supposed to be their student liaison. Not a safe working or learning environment at all. I could go on and on with horror stories from both my class and those of other from cycles before me (I now work with others who went to CMI) but the day isn't long enough. Heed my warning, find a different place to learn massage. read more

Great place for a massage at a reasonable price. It is a massage school, so you can specify if you want a student (costs less) our a licensed massage therapist. If you're new, make sure to tell them what your needs are ( relaxation, deep tissue, muscle aches, etc.) So they can pair you with the perfect therapist. I needed ULTRA deep tissue, so they paired me with Riley. Hands down (no pun intended) best massage I've ever had. Already planning my next massage with him. read more

History
Established in 2001.
Our philosophy is to provide excellent training in an inviting and more personal learning environment. We feel that massage is an extension of the therapist, as well as a form of communication and healing with the client. Our focus is to develop excellent communication, technical and clinical skills for our students to offer clients a professional massage experience. We look to enrich our students with well-rounded knowledge of the profession and seek to provide a rewarding experience for our new graduates as they prepare for a career in massage therapy. We strive to bring about an awareness of the powerful impact of touch and encourage our students to embrace their individuality in the development of their professional practice of massage. By guiding our students to this awareness, we promote the growth and development of our students' own personal "art of touch."
