Massage Therapy Clinic

Stressed out? Sore muscles? Treat yourself to a relaxing, healing massage in a private, professional setting -- at a rate that’s hard to beat.

Our Massage Therapy Students Can Become the Best ...Hands-Down
Students engaged in our Massage Therapy certificate program put their intense education and rigorous training to work at the McIntosh College Massage Therapy Clinic. Under the expert guidance of clinic Co-Directors Holly Roche, BS, LMT, and Rebecca Buell, BS, LMT, both licensed massage therapists, students practice what they’ve been taught on achy, grateful clients in a private, professional setting – at a great rate ($30 for a one-hour massage; state regulations, prohibit students to accept compensation, so all fees support the maintenance of the clinic.)

• Student massage therapists are trained in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, health and hygiene, health services management and ethics, and business development.

"Holly and Rebecca have real-world experience and do an excellent job as Clinic Directors. They've taught us to listen to our clients' needs and to be intuitive with our massage. I feel that I do a good job of listening to people's bodies and knowing where to go. I've seen clients relax under my hands as I build trust with them. I like physical contact with people's muscles and affecting changes that help them feel better. Clients tell me they're feeling better, that the tightness they came in with is noticeably less. My experience in the clinic has been great."
