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 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

I just had to email to tell you how IMPRESSED I was with how you set-up, arranged and taught Level 300.  It was interesting, fun, interactive and varied in teaching styles.  Kudos! I could see all of the hard work, organization and love you put into this class.  You highly exceeded my expectations.  Not only did I learn alot, but it was interesting AND I had FUN!  You should be very, very proud!

~ Joy Casamento-Walker — Small Animal graduate

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

~ Ren Matney — Distance Learning Small Animal Massage Graduate

I can honestly say that taking the course was one of the best experiences of my life!  I was nervous when the week long practical came around, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!  The work was challenging, but so fun!  The hardest part was not leaving the animal shelter with a new companion!!!

~ Elisa Pantelemon Wagner — Small Animal graduate

I can’t tell you what this means to me.  I have a very troubled horse and bodywork is making a huge difference in him and how he goes.  This has been one of those “life changing” experiences for me.  I will never forget the class, my classmates and you.  I learned so much from everyone.
