“The school was remarkably willing to work with me to be sure I succeed. They worked with my schedule and illnesses to make sure I knew my course material and was prepared to practice in the real world. The instructors were incredibly patient and understanding. I couldn’t imagine learning the art of massage any other way than this ultra-personalized hands-on experience. My class became a family, my teachers became life and educational mentors. I’m excited to say I believe I got the best education available.”

“I came to Northwest Academy because after looking around and reflecting on my own style of learning, I realized I needed to know my instructors knew me. The small class size means I am present in class and get the help I need to understand the topic. The instructors are able to learn each students learning style and each person succeed. I like that about this school. We are learning a personalized practice within a personalized supportive environment.”

“The NWA massage program completely changed my life. I knew that I wanted to start a new career, especially one which would allow me to offer healing benefits to a larger community, but I truly had no idea that the education would be so deeply fulfilling. I was in a hybrid program, which allowed me to continue working throughout the program, which was completely essential flexibility. The instructors were very kind, patient, and professional. I feel very confident and equipped to begin my own massage business now that I have officially graduated, and passed the state licensing exam (on my first try!)
I would recommend this school to anyone inquiring. Thank you NWA!”

“Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts gave me the opportunity to pursue my career as a massage therapist. The hybrid program was excellent for me as a single mom working full-time. It accommodated my needs and allowed me to work at my own pace. The online component is 100 percent self-paced. The material does not move on without you. The hands-on portion of the program was an intimate experience with a small number of students in the classroom. The support of staff was amazing, especially Amy Twigg. She went above and beyond to support my student needs during school. She was willing to answer all of my questions, even if she had to go find the answer. She answered emails promptly and was a vast source of knowledge when it came to the school, taking the state test, and just therapy in general.
I am grateful for my experience at Northwest Academy for the healing arts and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a career in massage therapy.”
