"I chose to attend NIM because it was a leader in\n massage education with a reliable curriculum that helped\n prepare me for the licensing exam and an exciting career.\n With the skilled touch that I received I was able to join\n the medical profession and develop a hospital based massage\n program where I was able to use massage to transform the\n lives of patients by improving the quality of their health.\n Having worked in the field for over 12 years with other\n massage schools and their graduates, NIM is clearly at the\n top as an educational institution that you can count on to\n receive a valuable massage training that will serve you\n well in your career."<\/p>

', '"I interviewed every school available within 100 miles of my home and chose NIM for many reasons, which all turned out to be important components of my education and career.\n
\n\nAt NIM, I received instruction from a diverse faculty, each instructor bringing different experiences to the classroom. I also love how, 13 years later, the school still welcomes and assists me. The warm atmosphere hasn\'t changed, and as a student the support and inspiration was so important to my successs both in the classroom and afterward.\n
\nI loved my classmates, teachers, and studies at NIM...And still do."\n

', '"What makes a 52 year old woman quit her safe 40-hour-a-week job and go back to school for training in a field she knows very little about? Many things, but what helped her (ME!) succeed was choosing NIM. For me, the personal attention I received each time I ran into a problem was what kept me going. Everyone, the instructors, the office staff, the financial advisor, were always available to answer my many questions. The support given me academically and personally ensured that I passed the State Boards and now have my license. Thank you NIM."\n

', ""As a previous student of NIM, I want to take the time to tell prospective students what a great learning experience this school is. After deciding to return to school for a D.O. degree and being required to take advanced A&P, I realize now how advanced the teaching is at NIM. The experience and knowledge the NIM teachers have has been crucial in my success in furthering my education. NIM focuses their attention on the students, taking time to follow through with each individual. You are not just a number at NIM. Thank you NIM for being an integral part in reaching my goals."

", ""My experiences at NIM were very good. I experienced massage for the first time at the school. The moments when I first gave a massage and was given a massage have changed my life. Now because of my education and experience I see that anything can be healed when people come together."—Jason M., LMT.", ""I am a 1999 graduate of National Institute of Massotherapy and I received my massage therapy license in 2000. I started working right away for an alternative therapy clinic where I gained valuable experience in treating clients with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, cancer and AIDS. This might seem overwhelming to some new therapist right out of school, but thanks to my education and training from NIM, I was completely prepared for the job.
Since that first job, I have worked in spas, medical offices and other clinic and have just recently been asked to become a massage instructor. I could not have accomplished this without the training that I received from NIM. The staff and faculty members were and still are top notch. I would tell anyone considering massage therapy as a career to start at the National Institue of Massotherapy. Thanks again to everyone at NIM.
—Jason K., LMT.
", ""My training at NIM was comprehensive and thorough. I was well prepared to start a massage practice and meet clients with confidence. I enjoyed the students and instructors in my class and appreciate the individual attention and ongoing care provided to graduates.
I have recently moved to Washington State and Ewa and Stephen are helping me get the information I need to start the licensing process here."
—Saima S., LMT.
", "" I was nervous to begin massage therapy school at NIM because of all the studying they had told me would be a part of the program. I felt so comfortable going in my first day and seeing the dozen or so other classmates, who, not only felt the same way I did, but whom I befriended and worked our way through all of the studying together. The administration has always been approachable and normal; they are people I opened up to and with whom I was able to talk.
I am now self employed and successful; I am an honest therapist who learned the most basic components to massage: take care of yourself, give others thorough massage sessions, take your time in the session for yourself and the person, and charge a fair amount. People respect this, and so they keep coming back and I LOVE working for myself. My business is set up casually because it suits me and when you work for yourself, you can create the setting you want."

", ""In 1994 once I walked through the doors to NIM (National Institute of Massotherapy) my life changed. My life had direction. Good direction—with a wonderful support team at the National Institute of Massotherapy. That is, I thought it had direction until I found out that the man I loved and was to marry on Oct 5, 1995 was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Only with the support of Ewa and Stephen Perkinson could I finish what I had started, my training to become a great massage therapist. I cannot tell you how glad I am that I did not give up and found such a great school to attend that offered a great education and with great owners, Stephen and Ewa Perkinson and their staff. I will be grateful for the rest of my life to them and their support."

"I graduated from NIM in 2009 with my Associates Degree. I passed my state boards the first time and found a job within two months of passing! I loved the personal attention the teachers and staff gave me while in class and attending the school. They were always very helpful and made sure to consider all the students\' feelings! I highly recommend NIM! Also, Dan Bilich is the best!"
—Brittany L., LMT.", "
"With the training I received at NIM I was able to become an official massage therapist for the UCLA cross country team. I have completed my first full season as massage therapist and assistant athletic trainer for Taft High School football team and now preparing for the basketball team. NIM gave me not only the basics of massage but an understanding of the massage business. I have since become certified in Kinesiology taping and am working on developing a continuing education class."
