This school was a very pleasant surprise. It's essentially half the price of the ONLY massage…read moreschool in Philly proper and with the smaller class size, so you get a lot more hands on attention. The curriculum is pretty thorough, and while a lot of it was geared towards helping us pass the MBLEX exam the instructors made sure to cover things like fire cupping and Asian massage even though these things do not appear on the exam. The only thing I really disliked was the commute - but to me, it was totally worth it.

I needed a good massage for some back problems I was having. Seeing the Yelp reviews here made me…read moregive them a shot. Bottom line..., maybe they're not top of the line professional masseuses here yet. But, there's something to be said about a student who is doing everything they can to get better at their craft. I'd take someone not as experienced who genuinely cared about what I needed over a professional masseuse going through the motions every time. Of course, if you don't get that student, I'm sure the experience is different. I was fortunate enough to get a great student. She didn't rush one bit, had excellent technique, and took care of my pains. I left feeling much better than I walked in. In fact, she was so into what she was doing, I believe she gave me extra time. I paid for a 60 minute. I of course was not paying attention to my time (how can you when you're in La La Land). Apparently neither did she as I was on the table for a good 75 minutes, as I checked the time at the end. They didn't charge me more, so it's a score I suppose. I wound up late for my next errand as a result. Somehow, I didn't seem to care.

You're only going to be paying 14 grand to only be certified in Swedish massage, big waste of TIME & MONEY! ALSO, just because you've had specific training before this program shouldn't exempt YOU from going through the whole program like everybody else! Every student should be allowed to take their Practicals all in one day. Not 2-3 students that you like a little more. This school is disgusting.

His background as a dancer infuses both practices -- his understanding of the body is not just textbook knowledge but something lived and embodied.

He's the rare practitioner who makes you better and makes the work enjoyable.
