I am very impressed with this program and will recommend it to anyone interested in this field.  I look forward to continuing my education through the Northwest School of Animal Massage.

~ Lyndsey Durning — Small Animal graduate

The whole body of the course was such an eye-opener to me.  Money can’t buy what I’ve learned in this course.

~ Elizabeth Sinclair — Small Animal graduate

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

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

Everyone at the school made me feel so special and so important. They went out of their way to make sure students succeeded. I can’t thank them enough for giving my life new found joy and a feeling of doing something so special and important in this crazy world. Thank you to Lola and all her staff at NWSAM.
