Northwest School of Animal Massage

Mar 2020

In 2006 I began the journey of learning how to massage Large Animals. I found Northwest School of Animal Massage. The home study course was fantastic, I could do it at my own pace and the 5 day intensive review and Practical test was so worth it. I continued on to take several more courses over the next 10 years. I am now certified in Large and Small Animal Massage. And I am approaching 69 years of age. So it's never too late.

I switched careers later in life - a big leap - and after looking into various programs for animal massage certifications, landed on NWSAM. I will forever be grateful that I did. I now have a career as an animal massage therapist that I truly love. I was pleased with my instructors and the colleagues I met through NWSAM. I also appreciate the supportive environment fostered by Founder and Director of Education, Lola Michelin, who encourages students past and present, and who has a wealth of knowledge that she freely shares well beyond the classroom. I never stop learning. For those interesting in pursuing a career in canine or equine massage, I highly recommend enrolling!

I cannot speak highly enough of this school. The online materials were wonderful and the tutor very responsive and helpful, but the highlight was the practical. I travelled from Australia and it was wonderful. Lola is an amazing teacher, and we had the best canine teachers too. I definitely would (and often do ) recommend this school.
