Fantastic experience! Super professional, worked on exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be making another appointment with Kimberly. I guess it's a family owned operation. I would have tipped them if they let me!

I am so grateful that I chose Austin Massage Academy to be my school, the instructors are some of the best around! They truly care about the success of the students! I had amazing classmates as well! If your looking to go to a massage school definitely give this one a try! You will not be disappointed

Great place to get relaxed for good value. The owner is super nice and accommodating, students are always respectful and care about your preferences. I had some of the best massages over there. I've been going there for a year and never have been disappointed. Try it and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Combined with Xue's extensive knowledge and experience in massage therapy, along with Travis's entrepreneurial spirit, AMA is a great school for anyone looking to get licensed as a Massage Therapist. I found their pricing to be significantly cheaper than other schools, and the time to graduate from start to finish can be as quick as 6 months. Classes were fun and interactive. I was properly prepared, and passed the test on the first try. They were very flexible and accommodating to my schedule, and responded quickly to any questions.

I was recently a student here at AMA, and I wouldn't have gone with another school if given the choice! Travis and Xue are awesome and very knowledgeable. AMA is a small family owned school, so they can really take the time to focus and cater to you and your learning needs. If you're currently looking to get your MT license, you seriously can't beat the tools and knowledge AMA provides you with. Not to mention for a great price too! Flexible, professional, and just overall great environment. 10/10! On my way to start my new career now, thanks a ton guys!

Bethany was amazing! She took her time and made sure that I was comfortable, and I left very relaxed and refreshed. Travis also was very kind and helpful with answering questions and booking my massage! Very pleased!

Rose provided wonderful service. She was patient, precise, and very attentive; my favorite so far! If you are considering getting a professional massage, I highly encourage you give the students at Austin Massage Academy a try; you'll be happy you came!

Literally love this place so much! The attention to detail, the easy booking, the professionalism of both the students and directors, and the effectiveness of the massage. An outstanding place and completely worth it. Thank y'all so much for all you do!

I called this school to work towards my LMT license. I thought I was fortunate to call right when a session just started. I signed up and paid for the class and attended the evening session distance learning. I was told this would be a small class but was surprised to see so many students. It was difficult to hear the lessons and the environment was unprofessional. Didn't feel like a school at all.

I decided to pursue my license through an in person school. I let the owner know that I wanted to withdraw. I did so same day but it took time for him to respond. His communication has been almost absent and I have been chasing my refund and still haven't gotten it. Very disappointed with my experience.

I attended AMA as a student in 2020/2021 and throughly enjoyed my experience there. Great place to get educated on massages styles and practice. Small class sizes allowed for one on one time and a flexible schedule allowed me to work full time while attending school. I felt fully prepared for the MBLEx exam once I completed the course. The instructors are patient and helpful. I would recommend attending Austin Massage Academy if you are interested in getting licensed in massage therapy.

This experience was incredible! The facility was spotless and well-appointed, and the music, lighting, and temperature were perfect. Manny was friendly and professional, communicated throughout to ensure I was comfortable, and had the best pressure and practical skill I could have imagined. His understanding of anatomy and his spa etiquette were clear. To the spa that hires him after graduation: you are extremely lucky! Thanks, Manny.

Oh my goodness. my massage with Mindy was absolutely amazing! I'm 9 months pregnant and wanted a prenatal massage for my backaches. She knocked it out of the park on a full body massage! I was so relaxed that I even fell asleep at the end. I was blown away by her professionalism and excellent massage for being a student. Overall experience was great! Nice environment with calming music, privacy curtains, and everyone very professional. I definitely will be back and will be recommending to friends and family. Great value!

As a recent graduate of the Massage Therapist program at Austin Massage Academy I feel compelled to share some of my observations, thoughts, and feelings about my experience. First, the facility was well designed and maintained, kept clean, and was comfortable; which made learning very enjoyable. The school owner invested a great deal of effort and time to ensure the learning environment remained productive. Second, the course content was thorough and presented in a serious and detailed, yet understandable, manner.

The material was relevant and up-to-date and the instructor's command of the subject matter was evident. In addition, she never hesitated to share her expertise, knowledge, and encouragement, with any and all of the students. Third, the environment throughout the entire school was always welcoming, genuine and positive. It was easy to see that everyone, from the students and staff to the clients visiting the clinic, truly enjoyed their time spent at the school. I encourage anyone interested in pursing a career in massage therapy to consider Austin Massage Academy. I did, and couldn't be happier with my decision.

Great school with great instructors. I liked the small class size that gave lots of one on one time with instructors. Austin Massage Academy is very reasonably priced and they prepared me to pass the MEBLEX on my first try! The private clinic room is relaxing and was great for our clients. All the instructors were focused on helping us learn to become top rate massage therapists. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning massage.

My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage and had a great time. It is a classroom environment which was different then I've experienced in the past but they did a wonderful job making you feel comfortable and transported away in the actual room. Will be back for sure.

I just had my first massage there and I can't put in to words how utterly amazing it was! The massage therapist had the perfect amount of pressure and I'm the most relaxed I've been in months! The atmosphere is amazing and it's super affordable! I'm 100% coming back

This massage school is amazing. All the equipment and facilities are brand new and the space has beautiful wood flooring. What a great place to learn the art of massage therapy training.
