After starting a family, I decided to go back to school to be a massage therapist. I chose the Alberta Institute of Massage as they offered a course schedule that fit into my family life well. I enjoyed my time at the school, I learned a lot and met so many wonderful people. The school is warm and welcoming and has a great atmosphere for learning and gaining experience in the health and wellness industry. The instructors and faculty staff were always amazing and so helpful and knowledgeable. The course content was fascinating and taught with professionalism and was easy to follow and learn. I graduated in 2011 and have loved my career ever since!

I am very grateful for the quality of the Massage Therapy program you offer at Alberta Institute of Massage! Our clinic has been the benefactor of the excellent program you have developed. We have offered Massage Therapy and have had several Registered Massage Therapists in our clinic for over 35 years. During that time it has become very clear that graduates from your institute are exceptionally prepared and knowledgeable. This is evident not only in their practical and technical skills but they are extremely professional, empathetic and caring towards patients. It is fundamental in our multidisciplinary clinics that our practitioners are team players and it's obvious that your program has taught them to integrate and communicate with all members of a clinical team. This results in optimal and timely results for the patients we are here to serve. Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence in educating and mentoring your Massage Therapy students and ultimately providing the most exceptional graduates. Our patients and our clinics have been blessed to work alongside them and applaud your continued dedication to the highest of standards.

I have been a continuing education instructor at the Alberta Institute of Massage (AIM) for many years. I have always found the staff, students, and graduates to be very professional, well informed, and polite. The facility is warm, spacious and comfortable. I have no hesitation in recommending this educational facility to students and staff alike. I look forward to many years of continued education in this school.
