Not all schools are created equally - compare us to other massage schools on the Gulf Coast and we think you'll see the difference too. Browse through the awards and honors on the faculty page that our school and school director have received. We have simplified the Admissions process so that you can print an application from our website and mail or fax it to us, or request a catalog by mail.
You can also transfer your hours from another massage school and receive a tuition credit. There are many massage schools on the Gulf Coast, but only ONE has a best-selling national textbook author on staff. Our Director, Susan Salvo, has written two massage textbooks that are used nationwide. Massage Therapy: Principles and Practice and Mosby's Pathology for Massage Therapists are used in massage schools from coast to coast.

My name is Melanie.
I was licensed within a few months of graduation.
I have wanted to be a massage therapist for years.
When I was finally able to go to massage school, I did many months of research before committing to a program.
When I began my research I kept coming across LIMT, and Susan Salvo.
It didn't take long for me to realize that I really had an easy decision.
I decided to get my education straight from the school that is owned by the author of the text book that a lot of other massage schools use as part of their curriculum.
