What our employers say ...

"The massage industry in general is growing, my business is growing, and I look forward to maintaining a strong relationship with NMTI in the future. NMTI students are well-trained when they leave school, and they will be a great resource for me to continue to grow my business.

Some of the things that I notice in the really well-qualified massage therapists [are] a high level of confidence, a pleasant personality and professionalism. NMTI does a fantastic job in training its students on these details."

– Laura Russell, Washington Wellness

What our students say ...

"I started going to a two-year community college program for massage therapy and I did a whole semester of English, social studies, math – all the basic stuff. Then I came to NMTI and realized that I would be finished in eight months – and we started hands-on massage training on the first day! NMTI is awesome because it focuses on what you came to school for: massage therapy."

– Ayana Satterwhite

"I have to drive over an hour to get to school every day and it isn't fun. But if you want something, you have to go for it and not let any obstacles stand in your way. And the training you receive at NMTI makes any traffic jam worth it. I absolutely love it here."

– Vivien Mbanwie

"I can't get enough of massage therapy – I show my fellow police officers new tricks that I learn after a weekend of classes. They see it as a free massage; I see it as practice, so everyone benefits from it.

Massage therapy is now everywhere. It's not just in a salon or spa; they're in hospitals, they are working with geriatrics, with neonatal, with sports medicine – it's just amazing. Once you get your license, the door is just open for anything, and NMTI is the perfect place to get your training."

– Orlando Hernandez

"My experience at NMTI has been so life-changing for me personally, physically and emotionally. Words cannot do justice for the atmosphere and the learning experience here at school. It's really awesome and I would recommend it to anyone [who] is passionate about becoming a massage therapist."

– Angela Campbell

"Whether you're fresh out of high school or you've been in the workforce for a while, the curriculum at NMTI is set up for you to succeed. I was out of school for 15 years before I came to NMTI, but the support system here teaches you how to study and be a student again. So, I picked it right back up and started being a student again. It's not hard unless you make it hard."

– Lisa Krough

What our faculty members say ...

"One thing that makes NMTI so great is the free support that you get. If a student is having trouble academically, then our instructors will spend extra time with them after the actual lecture is finished. And we have teacher assistants that four times a week will come in and tutor students and help them specifically on whatever it is that they’re having trouble. It’s never about making money here. It really is about us wanting our students to be successful and giving them the resources that they need to succeed."

– Alexis Autry, Retention Coordinator/Former Student
