I attended ICOHS after quitting my job working on Helicopters and 5 years in the Navy to pursue a…read moremore holistic lifestyle. I had slight interest in massage therapy but never knew that my passion for bodywork would grow this big. I started out with adjustments during yoga teacher training before ICOHS. That's when I realized I had a slight interest in massage. I had no big expectations attending ICOHS but after finally getting cleared for graduation completing my HHP program, I feel completely different. The teachers at ICOHS have brought so much awareness, knowledge, and empowerment into my life. Julie, Aricia, Cara, Hugo, Linda, John, Renee, and Vanessa were all so supportive. I was going through so many transitions in my life during my program. Coming to school helped with that healing. Had it been any other institution, I would've ended up dropping out. The knowledge I'm taking into my practice.. but most importantly my life after ICOHS is not something I can put into words. Thank you to the Shari, Naira, and now Ronnie for the support through the past year. This school has been amazing to me. As with anything in life, you get what you put out. I came with an open mind and despite struggles along the process, I persevered and I'm glad I did. Now I'm starting my business MADMO, LLC. and taking on a new entrepreneurial journey. I'm happy to take what I've learned here to the next level. Thank you, ICOHS! If you have an interest in your own holistic journey, herbs, nutrition, and the mind body connection. This is a school to definitely check out. :)

These classes teach you the body mechanics and techniques that professional massage therapists use to help their clients relax AND give themselves career longevity. It's a great date experience. You get to feel your partner relax under your hands AND get that awesome oxytocin-dopamine hit for both parties. I feel like this a great way to bring couples closer, learn more about your partner's body and responses, and have a MUCH better experience/date to talk about with your friends instead of the standard movie/drinks/dinner. I feel super lucky to have had this experience and can't wait to do it again! (I feel like I can learn more and more each time I go)

My therapist told me every session is customized to the individual, no cookie cutter massages here! I really felt the difference. I've been to Massage Envy before and it was always hit or miss depending on the therapist. Finally I asked a great therapist where they trained and when he told me "IPSB" I looked up the school and found they have this great practice clinic for students. Turns out these prices are even lower than Massage Envy and not only are the students all professional quality.. sometimes even instructors work on you!

Based on the description of the service, I was expecting it to be more foot reflexology focused with some overall back/body massage at the end, but it was pretty much the complete opposite. Not 'bad' per se, just not what I was expecting. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

My experience in John and Jane's Herbalism 101 class was more than just disappointing--it was…read moreemotionally taxing, unprofessional, and, at times, outright disturbing. What should have been a sacred and respectful space for learning, healing, and growth quickly revealed itself to be dominated by ego, control, and a stunning lack of self-awareness. From day one, it was evident that this class was not rooted in integrity. John consistently made sexually suggestive jokes--habitual, inappropriate comments that disrupted the safety and sanctity of the learning environment. This wasn't a one-off misstep; it was a pattern of behavior that created discomfort and betrayed the seriousness of the subject matter. No one teaching herbalism--or any subject--should normalize that type of energy in a space intended for healing. Jane, on the other hand, carried an air of superiority that made it clear she was less interested in teaching and more interested in control. She mocked former students in front of the class, dismissing them for not "doing anything" with the knowledge they gained. That level of arrogance and public belittlement creates shame, not growth--and it contradicts everything a true teacher should stand for. When students sought clarity, John frequently dodged or deflected questions. Instead of thoughtful guidance, we were met with vague responses or outright dismissal. And Jane didn't stop at shaming past students--she went as far as making a degrading, classist remark about my partner, implying she was "probably poor" for being a caregiver. That wasn't just rude--it was prejudiced, judgmental, and deeply uncalled for. When my partner chose to leave the class and shared her experience publicly, I posted my review as well--because she stayed in the class longer and I wanted to speak for myself. Instead of accepting honest feedback, they responded by deleting my partner's review and labeling it "bullying." So let me make this crystal clear. Yes, I support my partner. But this review isn't about her--it's about my direct experience. And what I witnessed firsthand was bullying. What I felt was hostility cloaked in faux-spiritual rhetoric. What I endured was a space where power dynamics were abused and where criticism was met with retaliation, not reflection. You don't foster learning--you suppress it. You don't encourage growth--you stifle it. You don't lead with humility--you lead with ego and fragility. John's behavior wasn't "humor"--it was inappropriate and unprofessional. Jane's approach wasn't "tough love"--it was condescension masked as guidance. And your response to feedback wasn't "integrity"--it was image protection at the expense of truth. What you market as "honesty" is, in truth, spiritual bypassing. What you teach is overshadowed by the way you treat people. You shut down criticism, delete valid reviews, and paint yourselves as victims whenever you're asked to be accountable. And for the record lets keep it real. Gaslighting is erasing someone's experience and calling it an attack. Bullying is mocking students, demeaning their choices, and disguising superiority as mentorship. And ego is what drives you to silence anyone who doesn't flatter you. This review isn't meant to tear you down--it's meant to hold a mirror up. Because if you truly cared about herbalism and the healing path, you'd reflect on how far you've drifted from the values you preach. This isn't bitterness. It's boundaries. It's not hate--it's honesty. And it's long overdue.
