This school is by far the absolute best in the area. I live in Johnson city, TN and commuted 3 hours round trip 5 days a week. The level education of education I received, professionalism from educators, and genuine love for the art of massage made my commute WELL worth it and I would do it again any day. I received a job immediately after I graduated and have a full schedule. I owe that 100% to Hope, my classmates, and the other teachers I had while I was there.Also, one reason I chose this school specifically was because of the level of education you receive while you’re here. The amount of credit hours is more than other schools I looked at which made my education extremely well rounded. There is a huge focus on musculoskeletal anatomy and anatomy and how the body functions which for me was my favorite part and prepared me well for more medical rehabilitative focused massage.This is not an easy commitment. They have high expectations for their students which is why this school graduates some of the highest level of massage therapists around.Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will not regret it.

Theyre doing it right! AND going above and beyond COVID requirements AND still maintaining their quality of service! It doesnt get better than this!

Great massage at a great price!

One of the best experiences of my life. I appreciate the opportunity to go through the program. WNC School of Massage really sets you up for success. You truly get the best education and support from teachers. If you are looking for a school in this region, please consider this program, you wont regret it!

The massage education I received here was top notch! !! Now that I have been a practicing therapist and have a successful business, I am certain I received the best education in the area. I am so very grateful to Hope and WNCSOM for being a huge factor in my success as a business owner and a massage therapist.

This is the best training in Asheville! Hope provides the best and most up to date training in the field. Her continuing education classes are incredible and very saught after in the massage community. The school also helps graduates with continued success throughout there career.

Professional, serene, educated and advanced. Which in my opinion equals perfection! A no stress environment where the things that are really important are what is focused on, and the atmosphere is ideal for learning to the highest capacity. All staff and owners seem to go out of their way to provide the most excellent experience possible, students are treated like intelligent adults, and the whole experience is ideal.

What a delightful experience! Took a continuing education course this weekend. Hope is extremely knowledgeable, and she knows how to communicate that knowledge very effectively. Beautiful, comfortable space. I look forward to making the trip from eastern NC for more classes here!

Wonderful new location. The school is a great learning environment, open and airy. The private massage rooms rival the the best spas in the area. John work on my persistent back problem with great results. I have never met such a knowledgeable practiction. I should have had a clue cause he does contribute to the writing of the board test to be certified I found out.

Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere makes participants feel comfortable and safe, as well as facilitates learning, in the Western North Carolina School of Massage. The owners of this organization are the utmost professionals and caring teachers who have an extensive background in massage and well-being. The location, sights, sounds, and instruction are all top notch - I would highly recommend the Western North Carolina School of Massage to anyone.

The professionalism and educational tools these instructors have, exceeded all of my expectations!

It was an amazing experience to learn here with Hope and all the other instructors. I learned a ton about massage, muscles, anatomy, kinesiology. I even learned how to handle a private massage practice, but what really surprised me was how much I learned about myself. With Hope’s help I was able to push myself and experience a drive for success that I hadn’t possessed before meeting her. From the first day I walked in those doors, I felt welcomed, supported and most importantly like I was supposed to be there. I’m so extremely thankful to have had this time in school with my classmates, instructors, Hope, and of course Jerimiah. This place is not only a school for me but it is a home, somewhere you can walk in the door and feel the loving energy and support around you.

I’ve been an LMT for a little over two years now after graduating WNCSOM February 2017. I’m so grateful that I chose this school and for the incredible teachers there! I’ve since moved out of the state and I’ve met many other LMTs who struggled to pass the MBLEX, especially struggling with A&P and contraindications. I was SO prepared to pass the MBLEX and I felt very set up for success when finding work. I now have a great job at a beautiful spa and am financially able to begin volunteering my Saturdays practicing massage in hospice care. Thank you so much Hope & the other amazing instructors for all of your wisdom and support.

I was introduced to this school when I took a Continuing Education class for massage therapy. The space and Hope, one of the owners, is such a serene container for growth and the enthusiasm for healing. I learned so much and felt completely supported. I look forward to following this schools participation in the massage community.

I had a student massage. I was so impressed, she was very good. Attentive, confident and professional and she was not even half way through program yet.

Beautiful & spacious new location and Hope & John are amazing instructors! All of my CEUs since being licensed in NC are through the WNC School of Massage and I always look forward to the classes and I learn so much. Just being in the presence of Hope & John you learn something! Really!

You can be sure about one thing when visiting the WNCSOM: If you are simply a paying client taking advantage of their great deal on student clinic massages, or an aspiring massage student looking to create a better life for yourself and neighbors around you, no matter what, you will be heard and listened to compassionately. The learning environment that Hope has created at the WNCSOM is far higher than any other school in the area. In my search for a school I visited the three main facilities for Massage Education in Asheville. One lost contact with me without effort to follow up and the other did not seem to have a researched focused curriculum, it was based mainly on energy work and (in my opinion) did not have the right approach (for me) to Massage Therapy. The WNCSOM blends both the logic mindset as well as the energy side you need to connect and understand clients; this allows you to discover what path is correct for you. Comfort zones are tested on the first day when you have to learn a relaxing back massage. This, in my opinion, is one of the main reasons every student leaves 6 moths to a year later FULLY equipped to create better lives for the clients they work with. Hope, John C., and Nate can cater to virtually all learning styles with the way they approach education. I will carry the experience I had at this school forever.

I cant say enough good things about this school and its wonderful owners, Hope and John Morgan. I attended school here myself, have received massages here, and have taken CE classes here, and all of it has been of the highest quality.
