I graduated from HMTI in May 2022. My experience here was a little shaky. I had a major issue with one of the staff members who was extremely rude and disrespectful. Although this place can be a bit chaotic and a little unorganized, I learned to be okay with it. This institution is far from perfect, but I do believe that the owner Janine, means well and the staff can be supportive. There are some really great instructors at HMTI with different specialties and perspectives.

And the friendships created made my experience worthwhile. If you're someone who needs a lot of organization, this may not be the place for you. But if you're okay with rolling with the punches and accepting that organizations aren't always perfect like we often expect businesses to be, you may find this to be the right school for you. After reflecting on my experience at HMTI, I'm glad I made the choice to attend this school.

Janine I appreciate the amazing opportunities I have gained since attending Holistic Massage Training Institute. The teachings and Instructor's have given me a lot of gems that will be forever used in my journey. Thank you for opening an amazing school were people like me can gain that kind of knowledge to change our lives and others. I started in 2017 while still grieving the murder of my son in July 2016 and your school was part of my healing. My experience was as if I was on a 17 month healing retreat. Words can't fully express how much I truly appreciate you. I thank you. Love & Light sent always. Kind regards

Had two free chair massages at an Open House and one was really good and one really hurt because the therapist pressed directly on my spine and the side of my hip bones.

I went to visit this "institution" and was disappointed. I was met with a young lady Rebecca and an older woman (I forgot her name but it's the owner). Both looked unhappy to be there and showed little to no interest in wanting to provide information or show me around. I must admit the place looked unkept, unloved and unsanitary. It was obvious that it was outdated, floors appeared to not have been swept or vaccumed and overall creepy. It was dark and dim like being in a dungeon. For the cost of their tuition this "institution" should not look like that.

I participated in a couples massage session with Brian and it was outstanding! He is an amazing instructor who is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and engaging. We will definitely continue to support HMTI.
