What Our Community Says:

Irene’s taught me so much more than massage. I felt at home the moment I walked through the doors, and the warm, encouraging community made it an unforgettable experience. I had no idea how many like-minded people I would meet and grow alongside throughout the program. The supportive environment, positive energy, and genuine connections with both students and staff are what truly make the school special. I’m hooked for life and can absolutely see why students don’t want to leave.


Larkyn, Alumni

Studying at Irene’s was one of the best experiences of my life. The teachers are knowledgeable and excellent at teaching what they know. The atmosphere is caring and supportive, far beyond anything I’ve experienced at any other school I’ve ever attended or taught in. Upon graduation I felt prepared in far more than just the techniques of massage therapy. I had a grounding in technical theory, exposure to a huge variety of possible modalities, and an ongoing resource I can turn to even after graduation to learn more and find work.

It’s been quite a while since I became an alumnus of Irene’s.  It was one of the most productive and well-spent years of my professional life, and I think about many of the people there ever since my graduation in September of 2015. Such great instructors and volunteer assistants throughout the Institute made my enrollment and attendance joyful and so very well equipped me for my career as an LMT.
