Downeast School Of Massage

I have gone to the student massage clinic for chronic muscle and nerve pain issues for the past two years - I have had at least 12 treatments from all the different students, who provided me with deep tissue work and helped me feel better in the short term. This school does an amazing job, and most of the students who did work on me were as good as the professional massage therapist I used to have - the students are REALLY impressive and well-trained because the staff at DSM are AMAZING. These people have been a Godsend to me, and I cannot praise them enough for the great work they do.

The Downeast School of Massage is one of the few schools in the country still taught and run by its founder. Nancy Dale, with over forty years' experience as a massage therapist, educator and director, and mentor, is also the co- author of several textbooks, including the "Manual of Kinesiology," which is used in class.

I attended a continuing education class in October of 2022, David Lauterstein teaching "Deep Massage for the Realm of the Heart".

I'm approaching 19 years as an LMT, they are helping me stay enthusiastic about the profession so I can keep following a career that I love

The Downeast School of Massage provides top notch education from leaders in the industry, and equips graduates to be highly effective therapists who mindfully and expertly treat per each client’s individual needs. Therapists learn anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, self-care, ethics, and so much more. Just as valuable are the caring, support, personal growth, and close bonds formed all with a healthy dose of ‘heart’ in a beautiful, relaxing setting. Thankfully, the learning, guidance and friendship continue well beyond graduation, because they keep in touch and have outstanding continuing education courses.

The Downeast School of Massage gave me a solid foundation in bodywork, for which I am most appreciative. The teachers were wonderful, helpful, and wise; they instilled confidence in my capable hands and inspired me to think outside the proverbial "box." Attending DSM was one of the best experiences of my life.
