I HIGHLY recommend MBEC.

I originally graduated from another "school" prior to learning about this schools CAMTC approved excellerated program and I couldn't be more happier with the results of this training.

Michelle and her teacher Rianne are some of the most down to earth ladies. The school provides a lot of hands on training from the start and they have local connections to give you community experience before you go off and start working.

All teachers at MBEC are current with their CAMTC certificates and the school is current with their approval to teach the high standards and quality education you need to create a profitable business in Massage Therapy.

If you are shopping around to find the best school for the best price, do yourself a great service and call/or go into 3-5 City offices around you and ask the clerk what the process and requirements are to gain a business license in that city for massage therapist (even if you are an employee, you have to have a business licence/permit and insurance for massage therapy in many cities) - you will quickly discover MBEC is your best option. 👌

Plus, they take payments and their payment plans affordable for even the most broke person (if you have drive and determination to work)

I graduated in December of 2023, I am successfully running a massage business in the local area. 😎 (You can totally achieve your goals with the training and experience you get with Michelle and her team)

If you’re looking to become a competent, confident and competitive massage therapist, I highly recommend you attend Massage and Bodywork Education Center. Not only is it an approved CAMTC school, it prepared my classmates and me to pass the MBLeX, which will allow me to practice in many other states if I so choose. The instructors are friendly, respectful and very knowledgeable. They make learning difficult subjects fun, and teach to the different learning styles out there. If you choose this school, you will not be disappointed. You will gain a supportive team of teachers, classmates and former and future students.

Only giving 5 stars because 1000 isn’t an option. Attending Massage and Bodywork Education Center (MBEC) has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I had made the right choice for my career in massage therapy.

Michelle, the owner, and Rianne are both professional and knowledgeable. Michelle’s deep understanding of the industry is evident in every demo and every interaction. Her authenticity shines through in her teaching style, she shares real-world experiences and practical advice that have proven invaluable in the beginning stages of my career.

Rianne is equally impressive, bringing such a genuine passion for the field, it’s hard not to get excited just being around her. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a remarkable ability to make the learning process enjoyable and engaging. Together, Michelle and Rianne create the most dynamic duo you could ask for in two people teaching you to begin the next chapter of your life.

One of the standout aspects of MBEC is how fun and exciting they make the journey of taking the next step in your career. The curriculum is well-structured and comprehensive, but it’s the supportive atmosphere that truly sets this school apart from the rest. They foster a sense of community and true friendship among students, which turns the learning process into a collaborative and enjoyable experience. It’s not just about gaining knowledge; it’s about building relationships and growing both personally and professionally.

Attending MBEC has not only equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the massage therapy industry but also provided me with lifelong friends and mentors. Michelle and Rianne are always available as resources, offering me guidance and support long after my courses had ended. Their dedication to their students’ success is evident in EVERYTHING they do, and I feel so incredibly fortunate to have them as part of my professional network.

MBEC is an outstanding institution for anyone looking to pursue a career in massage therapy. By choosing MBEC, you’re not only investing in your education but also gaining lifelong friends and invaluable resources in the industry. I am deeply grateful to Michelle and Rianne and for my time at MBEC.

I was referred to MBEC through a friend who is also a massage therapist. I was in-between two schools and decided to go with MBEC because they are CAMTC certified and a locally owned. Upon graduation, I immediately felt comfortable to start working as a Certified Massage Therapist. Michelle has since been a mentor and a knowledgeable professional in the massage and bodywork profession. Her goal is to set her students up for success, and so far, I have definitely been set up for success. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to start a career in massage therapy and bodywork.
