"The greatest things about MTI are the teaching staff and the wide variety of classes they offer. The instructors are professionals who practice in their specialty. Their passion and expertise are inspiring. I value both the comprehensive basic training I received and the range of modalities I've been able to explore. MTI has been the perfect place to start my new career in bodywork."

"The training I received at MTI gave me a great foundation to begin my practice as a massage therapist. After graduating from the first program at MTI in 1999, I went on to establish a successful business. I've continued my education there and would highly recommend the program to aspiring practitioners."

"Over the years I have hired a number of graduates from MTI and have been impressed with the high quality of training that they have received, as well as the students understanding of what it takes to be a successful massage therapist who earns a decent income. The technical skill level of the 500 hour graduates is very high and results in satisfied clients who become repeat clients - an essential component of a successful massage business."

Megan Roberts,
Owner Davis Massage Center

"I highly recommend the Massage Therapy Institute of Davis, CA. I looked at schools throughout California, Oregon, and New York: but MTI's dedication to excellence is unsurpassed. The faculty are professional, personable, articulate, and highly educated, coming from a variety of prestigious backgrounds and schools. The administration is sensitive to the students' needs, is highly accessible, and works hard to assist each student in finding his or her own path. The facility is comfortable, well maintained and well stocked for the needs of each class. The courses are set up similarly to a university catalogue so that students may select courses conductive with their goals, and are designed to give a maximum of choices to working practitioners as well as full-time university students. The student body comes from a variety of backgrounds and degrees of skill in different modalities, and are the most open and giving people with whom I've matriculated.

My time at MTI has been one of incredible intellectual and spiritual growth. I enjoyed my 100-hour certification program so much that i extended my education to the 500-hour program. the friends I've made will be cherished for a lifetime, and we cheer for each others professional successes. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with MTI, doing my continuing education. Thank You MTI!"

"The Oncology Massage Certification program at MTI is really a blessing to both massage therapists and to people with cancer. It is inevitable that the massage therapist encounter clients with cancer and by taking some oncology courses therapists can be confident their work will be safe for those clients. And for those of us who choose oncology massage as a profession, this program offers not just comfort and safety for clients with cancer but also ways to assist them with symptoms, treatment side-effects and the trauma of cancer. Isabel teaches intellectually and from the heart, and the greatest gift she gives is the example of how she is fully present with a client with cancer."
