SFSM has the best staff I've ever encountered throughout my education. All the teachers and even the administrative staff are extremely resourceful, quick at responding, and honestly want the best for all the students. The program does a great job at preparing its students to become professional massage therapists and body workers and constantly dropped gems of knowledge and experience to take into my future career. I did the 1 year (600 hour) program which met for 4 hours a day, 3 times a week, and the schedule was very manageable with my full time job for anyone who might have this concern. They understand that we're busy with our jobs, family and life and are reasonable when accommodating to individual needs. Also part of the program are their clinical shifts in which students give massages to actual clients. This was one of the best aspects of the program as it gave students a lot of hands on, real world experience to problem solve, interact with clients, and get comfortable with giving massage in a professional environment. If you're thinking of a career in massage and bodywork, SFSM is a great choice for starting off and learning everything you need to know to get on that path.

The instructors are passionate about what they teach. The administration is responsive and always available to help students. The lab is awesome! Excellent quality for the price paid! best school ever! this is my first review ever that's how good this school is.

This school was perfect for me. I loved how small it was, both in terms of its actual size and the number of people in class. The administrators were super helpful and always responsive when it came to logistical questions about classes, homework, tests, and getting my certification through the CAMTC. The instructors were all very personable and made themselves available for questions outside of class. The scope of the program was also perfect since it fulfilled the basic requirements for certification and got me in and out in 6 months. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is exploring their educational options within the field of bodywork.
