Sharon Netherton

Best massage program in the county! The teachers are very experienced, use a great curriculum, and are there for you every step of the way. I even looked into the other schools and personally know multiple graduates from all 3 of the schools, and I have always heard the best feedback about this one in particular. They offer financial aid, admissions with rick is smooth and fast, and there are so many places always trying to recruit the graduates at this school that your almost guaranteed a job at graduation! If your interested in being a successful massage therapist this is the place for you.
