Testimonials

"I chose to become a Mssage Therapist as a second career, so I was not the average age of an average student. Not having been a student for 40 years made me look at a school through possibly different eyes than those of my fellow students. I needed a class and a curriculum that would be challenging and fun at the same time.

After doing my research I chose Alternative Therapy School. The class was the perfect size, the teachers were interested in doing a good job, management was attentive and the program was in line to prepare me for the (National Test).

My overall experience at Alternative Therapy was rewarding and fulfilling."
