About Our Instructors

Our Instructors are the best in the Northwest. 

 

Their instruction and styles come from a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds including massage field work, medical, nursing, caretaker, military, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), sports, and personal training. 

 

This is not just getting an education from books, but education from real life experiences and being out in the field. 

 

Each Instructor is also an owner. This creates a passion to teach and allows us to offer you the best education. If you become the best version of yourself and succeed, then we consider ourselves a success. 

 

Although our instructors have many years and a wide background of teaching students in other fields such as Medical Assistants, Nurses, Doctors, Physical Therapists, Personal Trainers, Sailors and Marines before joining Elite Massage School (EMS), our instructors have gone beyond the call of duty and have taken an additional advanced 32 Hour Massage Instructor Training Course.  

 

This is to ensure we can provide you, as the student, with this Elite knowledge and an innovative and interactive approach to learning 

 

We want you to gain knowledge, become confident in yourself, gain respect, and become successful in the field of massage therapy.
