I recently graduated from BLOOM’s LMT program in January. The school provided a wonderful atmosphere for learning, and Deb was so great at making the information digestible for anyone. It was such an amazing experience that I would do it over again if I had the chance. Deb really made me feel prepared for anything and continues to help me even after graduation. This type of learning atmosphere is something you truly don’t see much of anymore, and I am so proud to have been a part of it. I would highly recommend this program to anyone, but especially to men who are looking into becoming massage therapists.
I recently graduated from BLOOM's LMT program. It was an amazing educational journey with plenty of hands on practice and feedback. I feel prepared for a successful career where I can help people feel better.
Debra is an incredible instructor. Her skill is unmatched, and her ability to compassionately teach her skillset is truly impressive. The classroom setting was calming, reassuring, and connected. Throughout the course you quickly begin to feel less like classmates and more like family as you learn and develop technique. Never have I been in another learning environment where if a student was having a truly difficult day the instructor would take time to care for them and help heal them. Debra’s natural compassionate and kind personality have greatly impacted the way I care for each of my clients. Highly recommend Debra and her team.
