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.

Good afternoon. I wanted to take a moment today to personally thank you for the opportunity The Gorilla Grant I was awarded provided me. I completed my SAMP100 practical this past Saturday with a 97! You have an excellent team in Sandy, Lori, Jaime and Rubi. Each one of them helped me get to where I am today. I’m so excited about my future and the great things that I can do for the small animals in my community! I hope to honor your Gorilla and my Peatie with every special soul I come in contact with.   Thanks again for everything!   Margaret Taormina, CSAMP

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 love the hands-on work.  Really enjoyed the guest speakers and exposure to different modalities.  Liked the morning meditations.

~ Jamie Kennedy — Large Animal and 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 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.
