Our instructional team
Instructors who believe in our program because they’ve experienced it themselves
Our instructional team, including our instructors and teaching assistants, is made up of graduates of our own program.
Our Program Director, Jules Wyatt, along with our teaching staff, has personally experienced the same education and training we now provide to our students.
This is intentional.
We believe the strongest advocates for our curriculum are the professionals who have completed it, built their careers upon it, and returned to share their knowledge and experience with the next generation of massage therapists.
Our instructors and teaching assistants don’t simply support our educational philosophy. They’ve lived it.
This shared foundation creates consistency in our teaching, a genuine passion for our program, and a personal investment in every student’s success.
We believe in the education we provide because we’ve experienced its value firsthand.
