I have not received my license yet but I am still practicing my craft and starting to apply for jobs!

I just graduated less than a month ago and am in Masters right now so dont have a success storry just yet, but will have one very soon.

I really enjoyed going back to school in this field of massage because I love helping people and everything I learned in Las Vegas school of massage therapy was amazing so much knowledge from teachers and TA's and their willigness to help every student until the end and beyond and the compassion and patience from staff, I will really recomend the school to others who enjoy helping people like me.

I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time and was offered space to rent in an already established business, with other massage therapists, before I even graduated! My space was ready and waiting for me when I got my license. i am slowly building a clientele as well as repeat clients. I could have a rough day at the day time job, and leave all that stress at the door of my studio, what is better than that!

Hi my name is Reggie in ASMT changed my life and the teacher in staff help me get thourght the program. I love that school and the program in the people that work there I was apart of that great I worked there as team memer of ASMT if it was not for them I would not be the massage therapist im is today thank ASMT family and friends thank....

I am currently working at Massage Envy in Draper, Ut. So far I love it!!! I haven't been working there for very long, but I haven't had a bad day. Some days are slow but I have always had atleast two clients. I lvoe it!!!! As long as your dedicated to your work and you get regular massages you'll do great!!!

I graduated from the professional program at the Salt Lake City Campus 10 years ago. I came back to attend the Master Bodyworker Program with some concerns because I've been out of school for so long. The support I received from every staff member and especially instructors gave me the confidence to complete with high self appraisal and being proud of myself. I appreciate the conversations of support. It gave me the drive to get through it. Mike Fratto is my hero in life. Great staff support. Career Services helped assist me in being prepared in passing my exam for licensing. Thanks for all you do. Keep it up! Everyone deserves major appreciation. I'm grateful. Thank you so much!

ASMT has been a life changer. Just the feeling of accomplishment and confidence that follow after completing the program, is success in it's self.

‎51 clients on this paycheck!! Whoo hoo!! Let the Christmas shopping begin!!

I made sure to take the MBLEX and start applying for jobs before graduation. At my first interview, I was hired on the spot. While considering the opportunity, I realized that it wasn't going to get me where I wanted to go. I called the manager and turned down the offer. Later that day, the doctor/owner of the business called to ask why. When I explained to him what my goals were, he told me I was doing the right thing. He started his business the day he graduated, and advised me to do the same. He told me that getting another job would only be a crutch. Within a few days, I found the perfect space in the perfect location for the perfect price. And suddenly, I am in the process of running my own business!!

Before graduation, while looking full time, I successfully took & passed the national certification exam. I was able to start with my own clients shortly after licensing due to my training in the professional program. I used what I learned in business development to cultivate private clients and search for part time work. I am so glad i chose Nevada School of Massage Therapy! I am well on my way to my dream career doing what I love!

I knew that I wanted to go to massage school, but I never expected to love it as much as I do. I literally go through withdrawals when I don't do a massage for a long time. I have to do it. It's my passion!

As a recent grad, I am not sure I can suggest a success story, but I do feel that what you get out of it, is what you put in to it. One thing that I do know that is key to success is marketing. You have to simply utilize all outlets and resources to promote yourself and your work.

I feel that CCMT is a great school which provided me with a solid education in the field of massage therapy. Without hesitation, I would recommend this school to anyone interested in this field. I feel that Cathy Marchal is an asset to CCMT; who is extremely professional and dedicated to her graduates. Cathy made my journey at CCMT more positive. Thank-you!!

When starting CCMT I didn't know where I wanted to go in life. I was lost and had no direction. When I entered the clinical program at CCMT I quickly realized that I am suppose to be here and that my path is to go down into a health field. During my 2 years I grew more in love with the idea of helping people. I also began to love myself and gain more and more self confidence. As my self confidence grew so did my grades and my outlook in life.

CCMT has drastically changed my life and I don't know where I would be if I didn't start the clinic program.

Steiner schools are awesome.

I got my first job at Simply Massage. I got a hands on interview right away and was hired because of my skills. I'm also building my personal LLC Sweet Massage.

Right now I am still studying for my National Certification, but I already foresee a brighter future because of the people I have spoken to who are accepting of massage therapy as a means of improving well-being and health. I am both proud and thankful for the knowledge I have gained at NSMT.

The Lord has used ASMT as a turning point in my life. I hardly had the energy to sign up for the program and I had my doubts as to whether or not I would complete it. I suffered badly from depression. My awesome enrollment counselor encouraged me and spoke words of common sense and truth. I signed up and never looked back!

Joining the night class, I learned far beyond what I had imagined I would. I gained confidence and understanding through body work. It takes skill, compassion, intention, faith, knowledge, honesty, and complete awareness of who and what you are... "a Professional Massage Therapist!" You don't simply grow as a therapist, but also as a person.

Since becoming a student and subsequently a graduate of ASMT, I have opened my own successful business with a physical location. The beautiful thing is that I am finally able to see myself as the woman I always felt I was on the inside. I'm a wife, mother of two, and now a business woman able to support my …

The relationships gained are priceless. The education is humbling, challenging, and on-going. My life has changed for the better — even through the rough times — and the depression has turned into more passion for life.

I just want to start by saying what a wonderful part of my life this company has been and still is today. ASMT, UCMT, and Steiner will always have a place near and dear to my heart.

I worked in retail for more than fifteen years, ten of which were in retail management. I’ve always been told that I have a “knack” for giving massages, so I started researching schools while living in Arlington, Virginia. I came across the Virginia School of Massage and was going to visit to get more information. But because I was getting sick of the Virginia weather, I moved to Arizona in April of 2005, looking for a fresh start.

After doing more research, I came across ASMT. I visited both campuses and settled on Tempe (Joe Price and Kaylynn Atwood had a lot to do with that). I knew this was the place for me when I found out I could get paid to work on a cruise ship as a massage therapist. I needed to get my financials together (Jeanine DeTiege helped tremendously).

I knew this was the place for me when I found out I could get paid to work on a cruise ship as a massage therapist. I needed to get my financials together (Jeanine DeTiege helped tremendously).

I started in January of 2006, and I had my ten-year vision set from the start. I wanted to finish the Professional Program, go on to the Master Bodyworker Program (MBP) at UCMT - Salt Lake City, work for Steiner on a cruise ship, then work for a sports massage company, and finally run my own. I had a blast throughout the program and made life-long friends along the way. I graduated in December of 2006 and went straight to the Master Bodyworker Program in Salt Lake City for the January ’07 start. I loved it right from the start and appreciated how the courses started to blend together and make sense. It put everything I had learned up to that point in perfect perspective.

I didn’t stop there (remember my vision). Steiner was recruiting at the Salt Lake campus a week after I graduated from the MBP in March ’07, so I interviewed with some of my classmates. I was so nervous, I kept going to Career Services to make sure I had turned in everything I was supposed to for the recruitment visit. I was told that “they will know your life story by the time you interview as much as you're in here.” Anyway, I interviewed and must have made an impression because I got an email the next day, saying “Congratulations, welcome to Steiner!” I was so ecstatic, I didn’t believe it at first. I thought a roommate was playing a joke on me. IT WAS REAL. I made it.

The next few months were spent preparing to go to train in Hawai'i with Steiner. I trained from July to August of 2007 and then went to work on Norweigan Cruiselines' America’s Pride of Hawai'i. I had an absolutely amazing time there. I went through Onboard Safety Training and then to work in the spa. My first full day in the spa I worked a fourteen hour shift and performed twelve treatments (8 massages, 2 scrubs, 2 wraps). I was tired but not exhausted, so I went to the crew bar and met what are now lifelong friends. I spent six months sailing the Hawai’ian Islands. Then the unthinkable happened: the ship was relocated to the Mediterranean, and I was one of a few therapists chosen to travel with the ship!

I took the ship to Los Angeles in February ‘08, where we were in wet dock for a week. This is where the ship was reflagged from the U.S. to Bahamas to be the MS Norwegian Jade. We took the ship through the Panama Canal (amazing) to Miami. From ther,e we went TransAtlantic to Portugal and Spain. We spent two week in dry dock making the ship even more beautiful inside and out in Cadiz, Spain. Sad to say after that it was time for me to leave, but not until I had one more cruise. I got to see Italy, Greece, Croatia, and Turkey. All of this on my first contract with Steiner. Unbelievable.

When I came back to the U.S. in April, I had no idea where to start because I was in such a whirlwind. So I came up to ASMT and talked with Maria Richards and Jason Winckler in Career Services. Much to my surprise, there was an opening to work in Career Services at night. Knowing how much I had been helped, I jumped at the chance to work at ASMT. I started in June and fit right in to the “family.”

In October, the Master Bodyworker Program came to the Tempe Campus, and I was asked to work in the day to be a teaching assistant for a recent graduate who is blind. How could I say no? It was great for me to come full circle and to get a refresher, as well. The graduate and his service animal were absolutely amazing and have made a lasting impression on me.

With the beginning of a new year, I thought I was ready to enter a new phase of my vision. Except… I had just accepted a position onboard the Pride of America in Hawai’i for a second contract. I guess ship life made an impression on me. Thanks to ASMT, I have options that I never thought possible and a vision that is fast becoming a reality.

Since I graduated December of 2002, I received my national certification and have accompished a lot. I moved to California and initially worked for Burke Williams, a small Day spa in Riverside, California. I now work for Massage Envy. I love the work I do and love the concept of Massage Envy. I have been able to help many people feel better and I wouldn't be able to do it without my schooling from the Nevada School of Massage Therapy... Thank you so much for such a great education!

As I think back upon my life before I chose to attend ASMT - Phoenix, I realize that I wasn't truly living. This career has taken me to places that I couldn't have even imagined before. I have accomplished so much and am truly proud of the direction my life has taken. While in massage school, I had the opportunity to work for various chiropractors, gaining experience in the medical aspect of massage. I also spent time volunteering for cancer walks and similar events around the valley.

Shortly after graduating I became a teacher’s assistant at the massage school I was so proud to have been a part of, but that wasn't even the beginning of my success. I was soon after accepted as a massage therapist on a 5-star cruise line, working for Steiner. I was flown to London for preparation and, because of my training, was quickly sent to a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. I was lucky enough to visit some of the most prestigious locations in Europe, including Ireland, Turkey, …

I was flown to London for preparation and, because of my training, was quickly sent to a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. I was lucky enough to visit some of the most prestigious locations in Europe, including Ireland, Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain, and France. One day I was lying on the beach in Monte Carlo and thinking that just a year earlier, I was working a nine to five job going nowhere. I never felt so good. I was on the cruise ship for six months, every day waking up in a new country, meeting new people, and having the time of my life. Don’t get me wrong though; it was some of the hardest work I have ever done, but knowing that after work I was going to be having coffee in Sicily or be visiting the Greek ruins helped me through every day.

After leaving the cruise ship, I realized I wasn’t ready to go home, so I decided to move to the Rocky Mountains. I thought a nice winter of snowboarding in one of the most amazing resort towns in the country would be a nice addition to my travels. The money was great there, not to mention all the fun in the snow. A season soon turned to three seasons, and since then I have become the Manager/Lead Therapist of a local spa. I am in charge of 30+ employees, and I have done radio advertisements, news interviews, and TV commercials advertising massage therapy.

I was recently proud to hire a graduate of the same school I attended. In my off time, I go white water rafting, canoeing, camping, hiking, and having the time of my life. I definitely owe it all to my decision to become a massage therapist. Thank you so much, Phoenix Campus, for the influence and the start up for an amazing life.

I am very satisfied with the education I received at ASMT - Phoenix. Now I know I can heal people and help them when they need it. Choosing to pursue a career in massage therapy was the best decision I've ever made.

I attended NSMT's Las Vegas campus. I decided to go to massage school because I had recently had knee surgery and massage had been prescribed as part of my treatment. What an amazing difference massage made. I was still using crutches when I started, but after a couple of weeks I no longer needed them. Upon graduating, I went for the Spa Track up in Salt Lake. I found the program amazingly beneficial in many aspects, one of them being the fact that I wanted the freedom to work my own hours and start my own business so I wouldn't have to work for anyone else. While there, I made a very good friend in class who had similar ideas. After graduation from the Spa program, we moved our families to Bullhead City and began work in Massage Therapy. As of a few weeks ago, we opened our own business. Healing Hands Therapeutic Center. We are located in Ft. Mohave, Arizona. This is a new and exciting time for us, and we are hoping that we do well.

It had been more than two years since I finished school, and I had yet to work as a Therapist. I moved to Hawaii a year ago and finally got my license. Thinking it would be hard to get back into it with so long off, I took a wild shot and applied as a therapist over at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (nicest spa on the island of Oahu). They offered me a job on the spot working for Mandara Spa on the inter-island cruise ships. I will be sailing among the Hawaiian Islands for the next eight months, making great money and getting a day every week to play on whatever island I happen to be on. During our training I learned that they had hired a total of six therapists, four of them being UCMT graduates. The money is so good on the ship, in a matter of three months, I will have earned enough to completley pay for all my schooling. I Defintely don't regret my choice of where I went to school!

I graduated in the Spring of 2002 and dove immediately into the business side of massage. I slowly watched my private practice in Park City grow while I supplemented that income with work at a chiropractic office. In the winter of 2003, I took a leap of faith, crossed my fingers and opened the Align Spa in Park City. I now have a handful of UCMT grads who have been with me since the beginning and have become like friends and family to me. Owning, operating, and working in the spa is something that has taken my education from UCMT to a whole new level! UCMT now also serves as a great resource for me in keeping my spa running smoothly with great therapists and supplies from Bodyworkmall. I'm grateful for the lessons I learned from UCMT along with the continued lessons I get daily from Align. Thanks for everything!

I graduated in October '04 and found a job less than a week later. For six months, I worked at Hobble Creek Day Spa in Springville, UT, where I had the opportunity to learn raindrop therapy, manual and bio-electric lymph drainage, and to improve my hot stone massage. The first time I performed cranial-sacral therapy on a client, his bones had moved so much that after the session, his eyeglass prescription was no longer completely correct! I was also able to help people recover from auto- and construction-accidents, provide seated chair massage for corporate clients, and work on clients with chronic conditions.

Sadly, that spa closed its doors in May of 2005. I turned down two job offers at day spas in the area because I wanted to spend weekend time with my family. For a while, I took a job outside the field so I could get health insurance benefits for myself and my husband. I soon realized that working as a therapist had spoiled me for a "regular job" though, and once I …

I soon realized that working as a therapist had spoiled me for a "regular job" though, and once I started working on my co-workers and others, I realized that I was building up a private practice on the side! I went back to working in the field in September and am now contracting with Alpha Life Chiropractic in American Fork, Utah. It's very rewarding to help people get out of pain and recover from accidents.

I now know that there are plenty of jobs out there, and there is nothing as satisfying as working in the field of massage therapy! Thanks to UCMT, I have an education that prepared me to be successful in a field I love, and that will provide a good income for me and my family!

Since graduating from the ASMT - Phoenix campus in March of 2004, I have been moving in leaps and bounds. I was hired by an upscale day spa a month before graduation which lead to my next job at Arrowhead Country Club Sport and fitness. In October of 2004, I began looking for a new place to hang my hat.

The day before Christmas my co-workers and I were notified that the sports club was no longer able to run a day spa. Of course we were all extremely dissapointed, but you know what they say, " As one door closes... many, many more will open!" After about three months of negotiating with the General Manager at The Village Sport and Health Club in Verrado, we came to an agreement complete with a small working contract.

I now provide home visits to the community of Verrado. I often attend, by invitation only, events at The Raven Golf Club as well as other wonderful family events at The Village. This is what it's all about! It's not a job to me — it's like a miraculous …

But wait, there's more! A few months ago, I decided to take my practice to a different level. Now I am renting a room at a local chiropractor's office as well as doing home visits in Verrado and surrounding West Valley cities. I am also a member of a West Valley spiritual group in Goodyear. As busy as I am, I always find time to get a massage once a week, and Reflexology once a month. Phew!

Thank you to all Phoenix campus staff... I LOVE my new career!

How lucky can one girl get? I not only get to receive massage, but I get to give it! I not only get to learn massage, but I get to teach it! I have a full-time private practice at which I stay very busy and am looking to expand. I am a Board Member of the AMTA Utah Chapter, and I work as a teaching assistant at UCMT. My life is GOLDEN, and I couldn't have done it without the wonderful education that UCMT provided. My experience with UCMT has been nothing but wonderful, first as a student, and now as a TA.

The last time I wrote, I was working for a chiropractor doing massages in the sawmills. I have since started my own business, Classic Touch, performing in-home massages. There are several reasons I choose to do in-home massage rather than renting a room:

• Rent costs money, whether you have massages scheduled or not.
• People tend to be more relaxed in their own homes.

But for me the most important reason is that I have a hard time limiting myself to 60-minute massage. Most of my massages range around two hours, and I have three clients with whom I'm fortunate if a massage only lasts three hours. I know most of you are trying to imagine what you would do for that amount of time. I am constantly reviewing my textbooks, looking for tools to help my clients. There isn't a modality taught at the school that I haven't used, and I usually mix them up and combine several to work on my clients.

There isn't a modality taught at the school that I haven't used, and I usually mix them up and combine several to work on my clients.

One of my clients, Mr. "X", runs three businesses, one of them which is designing and putting in landscaping. Mr. "X" is 6'10" and weighs around 400 lbs. He is what I classify as a "Paul Bunyan" of a man. Because he lives four hours from me each way, I can only massage him every two weeks and this is one of my extended massages. I start with shiatsu for about an hour to get him relaxed, stretched and everything in alignment as much as possible, then it's off to sports massage and structural integration, then Swedish and Russian, with a little acupuncture tossed in.

I love this job; not many jobs will let me have the experiences that I have had with this one. Last year a potential client called my home, asking if I did massages in the Great Falls area. Great Falls is more than 200 miles away from my home, but we talked and he said he was a rancher and had several people who wanted massages, so it would be profitable for me. I had my husband drive me up, and from that one call I have received more business than I had in two years of pounding the streets.

I can't say enough for referrals or word of mouth; it's true what they say: it can make or break you. Mr. "Rancher" has since referred me to more than three hundred people. His son flies in from St. Louis to receive treatments, claiming that he can't find anyone in St. Louis that will give such an intensive massage. He has even started paying my plane fare to travel and massage him and his friends.
