I liked all of it.  I really like getting all of the detail about the muscles.  I liked that the teachers were nice, friendly and approachable.

~ Karen Stone — Small Animal graduate

I loved the hands-on time with the horses.  The pace of the class was great, well-broken up between lecture and practical.  The lectures were very well-done.  Great explanations and very interesting.

~ Laura Huddlestone — Large Animal graduate

Lola! I just wanted to…say with the most sincerest of love and gratitude “Thank you!” from the bottom of my heart. 9 years ago I chose massage school over nursing school. That first session at  NWSAM…set me on the  journey of my life! That first session of school opened up my world in more ways than I could ever explain. Today I was asked to speak at a clinic in Woodland. People want to hear what I have to say!!! Everyday I get to work on a horse it feeds my soul like no other. I am definitely doing what I am meant to do. For that….. I thank you! Your little school literally changed my life! I am forever indebted to you, Megan and NWSAM!!!!!!

~ Stephanie VanDitmos

I loved the whole class!  In particular, I thought the content of information and the way it was presented was very easy to follow.  I especially enjoyed learning about essences and intuition.

~ Carrie Small — Small Animal graduate

I feel very lucky to have been able to attend this program.  The entire experience was very rewarding and positive.  I’m excited to get out and … start building a new practice!

~ Linda Nylander– Large Animal graduate

The respect and trust that this course has taught me about myself will forever enhance my life in anything I do.
