Reviews of Carlson College of Massage Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Maria C

I have had the great privilege to work with several top-quality graduates from Carlson College including Chris Rider (licensed massage therapist and owner of the college). Chris has brought her extraordinary skills and her strong work ethic to the school. This is reflected in the performance and the professionalism of the students from whom I have received massage therapy over the years. I highly recommend Carlson as a source of education and as a place to receive exemplary massage therapy services.

The classes were great and very informative, the instructors were very easy to get along with and are there to help the students as they go along. Clinics was a huge help in the business aspect of the massage therapy career, in teaching time management, financial skills, assessment and many other things. Would highly recommend Carlson College!

As soon as I walked on the property 15 years ago, I knew this was the massage school for me! The country setting makes for the perfect place to absorb all the information needed to become a successful massage therapist.Carlson graduates are requested by clients for their superior knowledge and massage skills. Thank you CCMT!

I had the pleasure of being a student at Carlson College, I took the part-time class in 2009, it was challenging for me since I hadn't been in a school environment since 1974. All the teachers were amazing and always there to be of help, they are very passionate about what they do for their students and clients in their careers as Massage Therapists and also as owners of their own Businesses. This in itself greatly helps students see the possibilities in our field. My life has changed greatly since graduating in 2010, I now own my own Massage and Energy Therapy Business out of my home. The experience at Carlson will benefit any student going into this field with the knowledge needed to be a excellent therapist and the passion to always strive to be better at what we do in this Holistic Field of Medicine to help our clients help themselves in their healing.

Carlson College gave me more than I could have ever imagined to get out of a Massage Therapy program. Their education set me up with all the right tools to use as a successful massage therapist. However, the program didn't just develop me as a massage therapist. Along with a unique and well-rounded set of skills as an LMT, I also gained a new group of friends, furthered my development as a professional, and learned more about myself than I have in any other 6 month period in my life. Wonderful experience I couldn't be more thankful for.

I graduated from Carlson College of Massage in August of 2001. I have been a practicing therapist since that time. I think about this school, the other students, the teachers, what they taught me, so very often. I was older when attending and Ruth Carlson told our class: This will change your life in so many ways. I am humbled to say I doubted her (because I had already had so many life experiences), but have learned in these 18 years, this school changed my life so dramatically there are no words. I owe so much of my massage outlook and practice to this wonderful school.

I had the pleasure of attending the first part-time class and graduating in February of 2001. I loved every minute of living in Anamosa and attending classes at Carlson. The bond and friendship you develop with both fellow students and instructors lasts a lifetime. I live in Illinois where there are no other Carlson graduates practicing massage anywhere close by. I am repeatedly told from my clients that they receive the best massage they have ever had. I 100% contribute that to attending Carlson College of Massage Therapy. I also have chosen to take many of my continuing education classes at Carlson. Any time I have a question I call and always get help with anything I need. I try to get to the student clinics not only to receive a wonderful massage but to also get the chance to visit and catch up with everyone! Massage therapy is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose and Carlson College of Massage Therapy is the BEST choice of school to start your career!
