Mind Body Institute 1744 South Garfield Avenue, Traverse City, MI 49686

"I can't tell you how incredible it felt to just be seen, heard and respected. I've been to a number of massage appointments and it's not been a pleasureable experience what so ever. At Mind Body Institute I was respected, I felt comfortable, super relaxed, my massage therapist did everything I asked and nothing I didn't ask for. I give Mind Body Institute 10/10 !!! It is a vulnerable place being on the table and today was the first time i felt truly cared for and respected and got exactly what I asked for. Deep relaxation and comfort."

"classes are taught in an order that builds upon what you have learned, which leaves you are very prepared by the end of the year. while it is a fast passed class, when needed, Jim would go back over a topic till everyone understood. i enjoyed learning here and would recommend to anyone looking to start their career in massage."

"I cannot recommend taking this class enough. If you want to change your life, go to Mind Body Institute. I started with a dream of being a massage therapist but no specific goals, no direction, no plan. I was an alcoholic and skipped class more than I’d like to admit. During this class, I got sober and am now celebrating 7 months. I attribute that to this course and massage therapy in general. Massage opens you up to the possibilities of what could be when you connect with your mind, body and spirit. Jim pushes you to be your best. He won’t hold your hand and coddle you through the hard stuff. He will hold you accountable and root you on. The knowledge i’ve gained from this class has increased my sense of self worth and I can say I’m more confident and love myself more than when I began. Some classes Jim will teach you about muscles, some classes he will fill in as your dad and tell you about self worth. This class offers so much more than you can imagine. This class was everything I never knew I needed and I’m so so grateful for finding it. Thanks Jim!"

"This was a challenging course. We crammed a lot of information in a short period of time. Jim is an inspiring teacher who knows a lot about a lot, and if you pay attention, you will succeed. I am a successful massage therapist now and I highly recommend this course."

"I attended Mind Body Institute for my massage therapy training in 2017. Jim is a very patient and knowledgable instructor and I felt very competent after graduation to be able to evaluable clients and develop care plans for their treatment. If you are looking for a massage therapy program to being your career as a massage therapist, you have found the right place."
