I cant tell you how much I enjoyed my time as a student at DIMS! The program was incredible in how it incorporated so many modalities of massage from both Eastern and Western techniques and teachings. In addition to preparing students in anatomy and massage techniques, there is important incorporation of the more spiritual and emotional aspects of bodywork. It was always such a warm and nourishing place to learn and study. All of the teachers were attentive to the individual needs of the students, and each one of them had something special and unique to offer. In the midst of a global pandemic, the staff was incredible in coming together to keep the program running and safe for all of us. DIMS curriculum thoroughly prepares its students to become professional bodyworkers in the community, and even after graduation, they provide full support and guidance going forward. Thank you again DIMS!

Denver Integrative Massage School was such an amazing experience. I learned so much in the 6 months I attended school. I started after the pandemic in January 2021. They were so organized with their online Zoom classes and pulling the info over into the clinic. They prepared me in several massage modalities, anatomy and pathology and real life scenarios. They have great relationships will several internship locations where you can get real hands on experience with massage outside of the clinic. The teachers are amazing!!! Everyone of them taught me new techniques and body mechanics in order to be able to work in the industry long term. The admins are just as amazing and make the entire process of enrolling, attending and graduating a breeze. You will not be disappointed in your decision to attend here for massage therapy!

I cant speak highly enough about what a wonderful, educational and professional experience it has been to be in the esthetician school at DIMS. This school is a first class operation. I started with the school during the pandemic and when my professional career of 3 decades, mortgage banking, cut our hours back to part time, I decided it was time to begin my education for my long time dream. I was interested in getting licensure in a different line of work to what I had been doing in Corporate America. I looked at different schooling options and was happy to find a school that offered the flexibility with the hours and times for classes and clinics. I began school in April 2020 weekends, completed all my school hours and was in practicum when I had a 7 month lapse in my education due to health concerns. When I went back into clinic, I was welcomed back with open arms by the owner Hillary, the teachers, Jen, Martin and Kat. These teachers really care about the students and its obvious they love what they do. Every day I go into clinic, I am welcomed with smiling faces, encouragement and a positive attitude. The teachers want the students to learn, to grow and to be successful. Each and every day, I learn something new. Especially being in person in clinic is invaluable. Each of these teachers brings with them their own experiences of being in the outside world. They are experienced with med-spas, day spas, waxing studios and herbalism. This school also offers the ability to do practicum hours remotely as well. I cant thank the school, the teachers and the owner enough for this invaluable educational experience. I will be back to attend massage school also in 2022.

I graduated from DIMS in 2020. After my initial meeting with the school I knew it was the right choice for me and I didn’t bother looking any further. DIMS is a wonderful place ran by the most passionate and kind teachers and instructors ever. I love that they dived into the Eastern styles of the massage arts, that really sets them apart. The relationships I created along the way will forever be held close to my heart. As I dive into my new career I feel confident and comfortable in my skill set. Attending DIMS was one of the greatest decision I’ve made in my life.

I was drawn to this school and went in for a visit...I loved the overall experience from the first day of class. I enrolled winter 2020 and They accommodated us during the whole pandemic!!! We had todo the rest of our school work via online class. I believe they did great job transitioning to online classes considering everything going on during that time! The knowledge obtained here feels like it sets you apart as a practitioner which is another plus.I am truly grateful for the teachers and staff they are amazing! I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to learn and grow in the health-wellness industry!

Attending DIMS was one of the best decision I’ve made for myself. The environment created by the people and their dedication to healing is so welcoming and expansive. Every moment spent at DIMS I felt a sense of confirmation that I was in the right place. I can’t wait to begin my career as a massage therapist and I am able to enter into it confidently given the tools DIMS provided me. I am so grateful for the beautiful souls I met and shared this experience with. Every incredible person working here made my education possible during a pandemic. I couldn’t recommend this school enough.

The Massage Program at DIMS that Hillary has offered is an extremely warm and welcoming environment to challenge yourself to become a professional massage therapist. The program included plenty of practical theory and knowledge such as anatomy and physiology, but even more importantly also the detail and focused attention to actually applying techniques and the art of developing your skills and intuition when it comes to bodywork and massage. All of the great teachers and their caring and professionalism always made me feel encouraged, safe, and helped guide me whenever I had weak areas I wanted to work on and develop. The school was clean, safe, and a welcoming space was always created to help everyone grow and learn together each class or clinic. It was a blessing during 2020 to have such a great community of awesome like minded people to work with on developing the knowledge and skills to become a massage therapist. The techniques and experience with massage I learned from DIMS I will use professionally for years to come, and could not be happier with my choice to attend.

Jen, the instructor is one of the best instructors I’ve worked with. She is passionate of her work and how she teaches the students. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. Coming back from covid-19, I hadn’t done any practicum hours and she made me feel secure and confident working on others. I look forward to working with her because I do feel safe especially when learning or understanding Something new. Thanks Jen.

Staff and the teachers are awesome! Great, knowledgeable, and professional people to learn from. They will definitely prepare you for the field, and you will be ready after graduation. They truly care about their students while you are a student and even after you graduate, if you ever need anything! Great people!

I graduated from DIMS in July of 2020, and was well-equipped to open my own private practice right after. I traveled to Colorado (from South Dakota) specifically to enroll in this school, and it was truly one of the best decisions Ive made.The techniques we learned in the massage program have, without a doubt, made me stand out in the field back home. I cant tell you how many clients say something like, Ive had many massages in the past, but nothing like this!The academic aspects of the DIMS program (anatomy, physiology, pathology) are unbelievably thorough and you will be exceptionally prepared to pass the MBLEX.The investment is worthwhile. You will learn from quality teachers who know their craft and are passionate about their students successes.I dont think Id be thriving in this field if I had gone anywhere else!

I absolutely LOVE my time at DIMS and can’t recommend this school enough!When I was looking for a Massage school, I wanted to find a school that offered more than the standard massage techniques and treatments.I was very pleased to discover the innovative approach offered at DIMS, went far beyond my expectations.This school has it all and more!From traditional Thai Massage to Swedish, to contemporary therapies like cupping, hot stones, body wraps, sports massage, prenatal massage and so much more!I especially liked that we were taught energy healing and pathology from an actual M.D, who is deeply passionate about the subject.And learning anatomy with fun, interactive game show style class formats and student body art fashion shows.DIMS takes experiential learning even further with field trips to the local cadaver labs and getting an inside look to the human body.DIMS’ integrative approach to learning self care, bodywork and massage therapeutics, is one of a kind and is unique and special to the school.I got so much out of my training and am so grateful for the wonderful people and life long relationships I have cultivated there.I also really appreciate the deep spiritual roots of the schools founder who brough more of the thai massage traditions and bodywork techniques from Thailand to the States.The meditation, mantra or prayer before each Thai-Massage class made it feel like we were integrating the spiritual aspects of the healing arts to our bodywork practice.Which are often lead by the founder, when shes not too busy helping students with graduation paperwork or running her 3 other schools.Hillary and her team of talented teachers has done a fantastic job at creating an engaging experiential learning environment that is the perfect escape from the stress and high demands of life.Every class weekend, didn’t feel like school, but more like a day at the spa giving and receiving massages all day with friends.Hillarys leadership and integrative approach to massage therapeutics made it fun and easy to learn about massage and bodywork.She has inspired me so much in my healing arts practice with her spiritual and integrative approach to massage therapy.PLUS the school’s talented teachers and staff are so supportive and helpful with licensing paperwork and post graduation support.This was important for me because I feel like the school will still be there for post graduation support with licensing, transcripts and verifications.The admin staff is phenomenal and very responsive at answering emails.And with at the best prices in town, flexible payment options and low cost financing, makes DIMS the winning choice for massage training!I am so grateful to have completed my massage training at DIMS and would highly recommend this school for training.If you would like to experience the cutting edge thai yoga and bodywork techniques learned and developed through training from DIMS, feel free to reach out to schedule your appt today!Your body will thank you! 🙏Khoa as in “Qua-lityThai-Chi Yoga Bodyworks& Massage MedicineNewYouMassage.co

The mindset and passion of the staff/instructors consistently motivated me to do my best and love what I do! They helped me to break through some personal barriers and embrace assisting in healing. I highly recommend this school, especially because of the integrative approach that is taught. Now that I have graduated and am exploring on my own, I am very thankful and grateful for what I learned at DIMS. I feel that I was truly set up for success! I have so much love for this place :)

This program was exactly what I was looking for and MORE!! Everyone who teaches here is obviously SO passionate about what they do and its incredibly inspiring to observe and practice each teachers unique technique -- of which you learn MANY. I did the massage intensive & it was awesome to be totally submerged in the world of body-work right away. Also the online option for doing the Anatomy & Pathology classes was really cool, it allowed me to start work right after the 4 months were over and finish school at my own speed -- also the teachers for the science courses are fantastic!! Highly recommend!!!

This school is home to a community that changed my life! I entered the massage program in January interested in developing a newfound skill and seeing where it could take me, and I came away from the experience with more knowledge, passion, and connection than I could have imagined.The teachers are so knowledgeable, supportive, and compassionate and they really gave me a solid foundation of skills and experience to begin my journey in bodywork. Between them and the community of like-minded students I was with, we never failed to carry interesting conversations about anything and everything. I was introduced not only to massage, but a whole wide world of modalities, therapies, spiritualities, and holistic health ideas giving me the roots to keep learning and growing for a lifetime!On top of the amazing experiences I had in class, the owner Hillary and the rest of the staff made it apparent every step of the way that they were devoted to supporting me and my individual situation whenever they could. From offering a variety of course schedules to sign up for, to accommodating the varying learning styles between individuals, to working tirelessly to overhaul the classes to an online platform just to make sure that my education was as seamless as could be hoped for when Covid came, to helping me personally connect with the best internship I could have asked for when that time came... the list goes on! I just feel so grateful to have been a part of this labor of love that is DIMS!

Attending DIMS was the best decision I ever could have made! I am a graduate of the weekend program, which was incredibly flexible and that was extra amazing for me! I was blown away by everyone I encountered here, including the instructors, administration, owner, and the other students! They create a stellar environment at the school. DIMS was affordable, easy to commute to, and taught me so much. I will always be grateful for the incredible massage education I have received as well as the encouragement from the instructors. I will also miss the family I found here! I am about to take my test to become an LMT and I cannot believe how confident I feel going in! Thanks DIMS team!

DIMS is an AMAZING massage school. The price is more than right, and there are so many different options to choose from as far as class times go, making it super feasible and convenient for anyone! I started attending classes when my baby was just 4 months old, and the school was more than accommodating for me.The teachers are brilliant, patient, and professional, guaranteeing you will be more than ready for the field upon graduation.The classes are up to date and relevant, and the Thai yoga massage certification has definitely set me apart from other therapists currently working.The education I received from DIMS made it to where I felt comfortable and ready to give amazing bodywork as soon as I was certified, and even gave me the confidence to start my own practice. My time at DIMS was truly invaluable! If you’ve been looking for a massage school unlike any other, look no more!

Denver Integrative Massage School excelled in all the ways that I had wanted when doing a thorough check of massage schools - priced competitively, professional staff, functional/holistic curriculum, nourishing community. Once you meet Hillary and the rest of the staff you will understand why you are at the right place. They truly care about you and provide the necessary guidance along the way. Post graduation, I have an education I am proud of and a network that is constantly looking out for me. You cannot go wrong with DIMS.

Receiving my massage therapy education from DIMS was an exceptional experience! I met some remarkable people and the learning process was great! The other students felt like family by the end of our time together, and I still keep in contact with the instructors. It is one big group of loving and caring people who are very knowledgeable in their practice. Honestly I wish I could have stayed longer! It’s not about going through the motions to get licensed with DIMS, it is understanding massage therapy and being in touch with yourself so you can give a great massage to your clients.

DIMS is a great school. Small classes, individual attention, and a unique blend of Eastern and Western modalities. In-class anatomy and physiology courses lead by practicing professors, I completed the course with the knowledge I needed to pass the Mblex licensing exam (12/2018). Rolling class schedules make it easy to incorporate classes into even the busiest of lifestyles. Stop by and look around, you may just end up signing up for one of their other two awesome courses in herbalism or aesthetics. All the best!

Review №33

Last year I decided to get my state massage license and chose Denver Integrative Massage School over the other schools in the area. I chose DIMS because of the smaller class size, affordability, and a more balanced focus on Eastern (Thai) and Western (Swedish style). Ive been studying at the school for about a year now- and I love it! The staff are fantastic, very helpful and knowledgeable. I opted for the every other weekend hands-on instruction, and it was great. I got to know the other students well in the class and had a lot of time to practice with supervision from the instructors. I really enjoyed all the different styles we covered- my favorites were Thai for the table and Swedish prenatal. The anatomy and physiology classes were great as well- those were on Wednesday nights. It was a small group which was nice. After all of the classes I felt well prepared to start practicing in the student clinic, which I will finish up this month. Very excited to take the licensing exam and get started working as a massage therapist!On a more personal note, I love being at DIMS- it always smells lovely from the Thai herbal compresses, the energy is nurturing, and Ive met some really great people. I love that the school has opened a school of natural aesthetics, too. I think the two programs compliment each other nicely!

I can highly recommend Denver Integrative Massage School. When I moved from Europe to Denver I had to get licensed again and found Denver Integrative Massage School through my network Thai massage of Thai massage teachers and practitioners. During this big transition coming from another country I graduated and got nationally licensed within half a year. All the teachers are very knowledgeable, caring and supportive. They create a positive, authentic atmosphere where learning becomes easy and fun. A good program that prepares you excellent to become a good Massage Therapist!

I looked at a number of massage schools before decided DIMS was the perfect one for me. I wanted something more holistic with deep roots in Eastern theory but also a strong basis in Western anatomy and technique. DIMS was the perfect match! The schedule was really convenient and all the teachers were fantastic. I still keep in touch with many of the people from my program and my teachers. And my clients LOVE my integrative approach. Thanks DIMS!

I have been studying at this school for almost one year now and i am super excited i picked this school for learning the trade. Even though i have a busy work schedule and drive from boulder to denver to be there, i still very much enjoy the training. Wanting to study massage for quite a while now, i somewhat stumbled over this school as my former roommate was a supervisor at the school. she told me all i needed to know and i enrolled and here i am, finishing up my clinic hours and hoping to be done and certified in a couple more months tops. I dont really know any other massage schools so i dont have a comparison, but i very much enjoy the school, the teachers and supervisors and my fellow students.. i LOVE going there and expand my knowledge of bodywork!!! i can only recommend this school to everybody. I love the flexibility with scheduling your own pace... the every other weekend classes or the intense 5 week immersions. the classes all have been super fun and i enjoyed every minute. The pricing is VERY reasonable and affordable and the training/education is superb. I know i have made the right choice! Thanks Denver Integrative Massage school!!!!!

I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering pursuing a career in bodywork! Though I can not speak directly about the experience of the other educational courses, I can say I have heard from a close friend how wonderful the Herbalism Roots program was as well.The student clinic is absolutely worth a visit if you are seeking affordable esthetics treatments or massages.

The training I received at Denver Integrative Massage School prepared me to start my own practice right out of school. I love that the curriculum includes both Western Massage and Thai Massage. I have found that having both set of skills makes it easy for me to adapt to the needs of my clients. The teachers are very skilled and all have real world professional experience which they bring into the classroom.I also still enjoy going to clinic for a student massage.

I cant say enough good things about DIMS. I was VERY stressed about starting a new program and every question (which I had sent many emails) was answered almost immediately.

I have had a great experience at the Denver Integrative Massage School. The teachers are wonderful, completely invested in the students learning, and everything about the school feels very personal and inviting. The school specializes in Thai massage, which is very special because often people have to travel to Thailand to get this type of training. Learning both Thai massage and western massage during the 600 hr program has been of great benefit to me. I feel that my massage practice is much enriched by having experience in both. The staff couldnt be more caring and wonderful. I also appreciated the flexible structure of the program, which allows one to work while also going to school. Therapeutic training can be completed either in 2.5 week intensives, or on weekends, and anatomy study can be completed either online or in class. This is a great school.

DIMS is a life changing experience. The people you meet, the instructors and the knowledge you gain will leave you with a wonderful new perspective. I absolutely loved learning the Thai portion of the program. Studying and practicing all of the Thai massage sequences not only equipped me with the knowledge for my profession, but also enhanced my yoga practice too. I loved learning about the body in a non-structural way. The program was playful, fun, yet informative. Get ready to delve into a whole new world if you decide to take this journey. I am so thankful I attended DIMS and have embarked upon a new profession in the bodywork and massage business!

My education experience at Denver Integrative Massage School was simply amazing. The instructors and supervisors were easy to talk to and learn from The owner Hillary, has a passion for Thai Massage that flows from her as she teaches. The gentle guidance and coaching that I received both in class and at the practicum clinics helped me to learn so many ways of giving a good massage. There was a strong emphasis on body mechanics and I was shown several ways to do different techniques so that I could use the one that felt best for MY body. I know the fact that I was taught proper techniques will keep me doing this work for a long time. I feel like I got my moneys worth here and would most definitely recommend DIMS to anyone wanting to learn either Thai or Western massage.

After visiting other Massage schools in Denver I was excited to discover Denver Integrative Massage School. The small class sizes (with individual attention to each student), flexible schedule (choice of a weekend program, 2.5 -5 week immersion, and /or online classes) and friendly staff made my decision for me. As an adult learner, I was looking for a school that would treat me as such, allowing me to progress through the course at my own rate, fitting in with my life.After completion of the 600 hour course I leave with confidence to take my skills in Thai massage and Western moralities and apply them in the real world. Caring instructors with years of experience helped me improve on clinic skills in a safe productive environment, with a strong focus on developing the correct body mechanics for me, to ensure a long healthy career.I leave DIMS with a wonderful support network behind me as I embark on my massage career.

To say that the massage program at Denver Integrative Massage School was life altering is in no way an overstatement. What I learned in the program about caring for others, caring for myself and the relationships I made with classmates and teachers alike have all left an indelible mark on my life in the very best of ways. The program itself is well structured, diverse in the tools it provides, and flexible enough to accommodate most anyones schedule if you plan appropriately. The office staff are prompt, kind and some of the most helpful and lovely humans you could ever have the hope of working with for sorting out the administrative tasks associated with going to school of any kind. The teachers are perhaps the best part of the school. Their incredible wealth of knowledge, approachable teaching styles and diverse backgrounds make coming to class a delight! Even the science classes, which can be dense material at times, are laid out in a way that you come away each time with some new exciting piece of information. I left this program utterly inspired by the human body and feeling so supported moving into working in the field. After only a few months Ive already come back for several community classes and am planning what other programs the school offers I would like to add to my practice. This program not only teaches you how to be a massage therapist, it also gives you the tools to become the best healer you can be & connects you with such a beautiful community of other students and instructors as well. 10/10 would recommend!

I LOVE and miss DIMS! What makes this school unusual is its intelligent and practical integration of Western Anatomy & Physiology, Physical Therapy, and Therapeutic Massage, with Thai Yoga Massage and the natural wisdom of other folkloric traditions. The curriculum is creatively designed to be totally fun and fascinating while thoroughly preparing students for the exams and a successful career that fuses heart and smarts. The student community that forms in this environment is close, supportive and inspiring! And, the faculty are top-notch and totally committed to the students getting it. I was both a student and a faculty member there since its conception, so I got to experience all aspects of the school before life events moved me to AZ. The director, Hillary Hilliard is a savvy businesswoman, a passionate educator, and a highly experienced, heart-centered, holistic body-worker herself; and, its from this multidimensional platform that shes created an exceptional massage school which she is totally devoted to! I cant recommend it enough! Its a life-changer!

I wanted to pursue a career in massage therapy for so many years. The time finally was right in 2016 when I joined the Denver Integrative Massage School for the March Immersion class. I had never felt so at home and ready to learn as I did when I was at school! All of my teachers had their own unique teaching styles and methods which provided variety for me. My classmates were an eclectic group of people: some older, some younger but ALL with the same passion for helping and healing others. Not to mention that the tuition prices were super affordable compared to other massage therapy schools I researched. It was hands down one of the best experiences of my life and Im so grateful to have had the opportunity! Thank you DIMS!!!!

Review №52

When you receive any type of massage, the most memorable ones tend to cause a type of replenishment that is almost unspeakable. You’re able to sink fully into a spaciousness and comfort not quite possible with the busyness of our everyday life. Details about your next project, day at work, or responsibilities with business tend to drop off, your mental space becomes clear, and muscles carrying tension you had no idea about become relieved and released. As a body worker specializing in Thai Yoga Massage Therapy, Hillary is simply an expert at doing just this! Her training in Thailand really shows through her work; She clearly embodies the powerful ancient teachings that originated in Asia. Its so refreshing to have someone bring an ancient teaching right from its source to students who may not have the opportunity to get over there.Yet, Hillary is more than well versed in what she does because she’s able to bring multiple facets of healing into her sessions. She is grounded and integrated in her knowledge taking on the role of a student and beginner as she teaches her students. This attitude keeps her humble and able to absorb and continue to shape an unfolding wisdom in the way that she presents herself. Hillary may be a massage therapist and teacher of her art, but she also easily becomes a friend and someone to relate to authentically. Overall, Hillary’s light-hearted, loving nature makes her fun to be around and very skilled at dropping clients into a renewing experience every time. I highly recommend her as someone able to give a wonderful massage, and moreover someone able to connect to each person she touches through her heart.Everyone as part of the administration of DIMS is wonderful as well! From the first phone call I had made to the school inquiring about the program in massage to the day I finished--every coordination was friendly, smooth, and very helpful. I never felt like a question could not be answered. I will continue to be recommending this school and those who operate under its roof to friends, strangers, and anyone interested in getting an education that is thorough and flexible to your schedule of working simultaneously.

DIMS provides the highest quality massage education for a fraction of the cost of other programs. They also offer the most unique, personalized class and clinic experiences, including both Thai massage and Western Massage techniques. The classes are small, and the learning environment is warm and interactive. By the time you finish your course, you have made many great friends, many of whom will be friends forever. I highly recommend the Denver Integrative Massage School!

In my opinion, there are three top notch massage schools in the Denver/Boulder area: Denver Integrative Massage School is definitely one of them. I studied Thai Massage for the Table along with Thai Massage 1 & 2. I fell in love with the school because the class sizes are small and intimate. The instructors are knowledgable, caring and patient. They really look out for the students. The education you receive here feels personalized. There is a lot of opportunity for help and individual growth. This school is absolutely NOT grooming therapists for massage mills and cruise ships. The classes I took at Denver Integrative Massage School will not be my last! I cant wait to pick up where I left off.

I attended the intensive program for massage therapy. While I was skeptical at first, I feel like five weeks taught me more than I could have imagined. The admin folk are kind and knowledgeable, and frankly, I kinda totally miss em! I also sat in the very back eavesdropping during one of martin’s classes... I wasn’t aware skincare could be fascinating! Def reccomend if you’re thinking about working toward your license... go see em and have a chat, but you might end up changing your life. I did.

I graduated from Denver Integrative Massage School and I am a licensed massage therapist. I loved my education there! This was a life changing experience for me. I researched massage schools very thoroughly before choosing DIMS. I am so happy with my decision! They offer a unique curriculum that includes Thai Yoga massage AND Western techniques. We learned how to combine techniques that create an integrative massage dependent on the clients needs! This training completely prepared me for my current job. My clients feel happy knowing that I can tailor a massage that works for them and meets their needs! The instructors and staff at DIMS are all very passionate about the massage field. Everyone gives 110% making sure that the students are getting the education they need. Additionally, this is a very friendly and supportive environment. People here really care about each other. Every time I walk into the building I feel a warm glow of sunshine! Hillary the schools founder and owner puts her heart and soul into this amazing space. She is truly inspirational and passionate about teaching massage. I miss massage school, DIMS, my teachers and classmates. I miss it so much that I still come down to the student clinic every so often to receive a lovely massage. I highly recommend this school for anyone seeking a career in massage.

The massage program at DIMS was one of the most thorough and life-changing educations Ive ever had. There is a level of compassion in this training through the outstanding teachers, the holistic curriculum (western + eastern massage) and the space as a whole that allowed me to sink deeply into the healing arts in a supportive and nurturing way. I was blown away by the collegiate-level anatomy and physiology classes - taught by two incredible professors (one is a doctor!) - that brings a clinical and scientific balance to the program. Having done the immersive program, I can say that while it was a lot of information in a condensed amount of time, I was still able to absorb everything, feeling fully prepared to take the MBLEX and dive in as a licensed therapist right away. Beyond the quality of educational content, DIMS has a remarkable clinic that encourages guided hands-on work right away. This made a huge difference for a learner like me who needs to tangibly work through techniques in order to fully grasp it. Lastly, this program invites all like-minded people. Those who believe in healing with their hands and hearts. From the very first class, I knew I was finally part of a community who got it. I made lifelong friends with my peers through this program and everytime we get together we retell unforgettable stories from our training at DIMS. Im so grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone considering massage therapy!

I went to school at Denver Integrative Massage School and I must say that it was one of the most enriching experiences of my life! The staff is amazing, the students are wonderful and the Thai technique is beautiful. I believe that everyone should go to school here. Eastern massage is fantastic and this is the place to learn!

I am an esthetics graduate and went through the immersion fast-paced program last year. This school is different than the others and you will know this the moment you step foot inside. They have the absolutely most flexible programs from accelerated to part and full time schedules. The admin staff and teachers are FABULOUS. You will meet and keep life long friends here and learn from practitioners who know what theyre doing. The natural and wellness element is something that every Esthetician should be learning with the business climate going in this direction.

I met Hillary as she was putting together DIMS first 600-hr massage program and was immediately impressed with her presence, attention to detail, ambition and integrity. Though I had never considered studying massage, DIMS focus on Thai techniques and Eastern wisdom - along with the brevity and affordability of the program - had me signing up within days of learning about this school. Dont let the programs accessibility fool you! Be ready to do a good amount of independent work/study, yet expect you will be fully supported along the way - and beyond. (I have since moved to another state and Hillary and other DIMS teachers continue to be accessible and to communicate with me as my practice grows.) Its instructors are knowledgeable and engaging - and will challenge you to investigate and learn about more than just the physical human body. If you are at all inclined to explore the subtleties of the human experience and develop an authentic way of working with others to bring more ease and awareness into their lives (and yours!)...this program will be a fruitful step on your path.

Review №68

As a premed student looking to gain hands on clinical experience, massage therapy was an obvious choice for me. Im surprised that so few of my peers have made the connection between bodywork and the highly coveted clinical work we are all chasing down for the sake of our applications.I originally applied to DIMS because of how rapid and convenient their turnover rate is (Im like 6 months, only weekends? Done). However, I was surprised to find that the program was both challenging and thorough. I definitely feel like I hit the jackpot.DIMS gave me Eastern Wisdom to match my Western Science, practical skills, and a more comprehensive outlook on healthcare at large.Graduating from here has not only made me a confident therapist; I will be a better physician for having studied at Denver Integrative.

Hillary, MJ, Kristi, Sarah and all of the instructors at Denver Integrative Massage School are extraordinary people, friends and teachers. When I first walked in as a prospective student, I knew from the lightness of the room and the openness of the staff that DIMS would be a great place to learn massage. I came to DIMS with no experience in bodywork and, in the first day, I felt comfortable and confident to practice and learn the art of massage. Hillary fully embraces and exudes Sanuking, which means to have a good time, to have fun, to enjoy yourself and find joy in what you are doing. That is a daily mantra of my own in life and as therapist. Hillary and DIMS continues to support me as I have undergone licensing in 2 states in the past 3 months. DIMS has been a fulcrum for the most positive changes in my lifetime.

The program targeted exactly what I wanted to learn, Thai bodywork, cupping, and sound healing. Was blessed to be taught by very talented and great instructors, especially Kristina and Sylvia who integrated their true passion and knowledge into the coursework, giving me so much confidence and knowledge to walk away with.

A 6 month program can be a whirlwind of information for ANYONE! Best to keep an open mind :) I was an every other Weekend student.DIMS is able to break down into fun sections of Thai and Western styles. Learning Thai was my favorite part. It was a unique classroom setting and I found myself getting really excited even if it was all day class. We also learned some Aroma Therapy, Herbalism, and Prenatal from Kim.I love how affordable it was for me and that I was able to make monthly payments. The school is small but that was a quirk that drew me. Smaller classes and more teacher time! Parking can be difficult at times and they do keep attendance. However, they will work with you with any situation. DIMS is a young school and is always trying new ways to be more efficient. One thing I know is that it brings such a healing energy. I would encourage any one to take a walk through. You cant help but to smile.On to the best about the school. The people! I have never had a better school experience. The people are so wonderful. To your classmates whom all are respectful and open. To the office with Molly, Kristy, and Alisa working hard to give you MANY opportunities to earn credit hours. To the teachers who truly love their craft. I learned so much about myself as a person here. I was sad to be finished with class. I will miss Hillary the most! Thank you!

If you enjoy thai massage but dont have a huge budget to treat yourself DIMES makes regular massage affordable.The massages are performed by students of the school but I have never felt like I was getting a massage from an amateur. The massages are done on the thai massage mats in a quiet room (though there are multiple clients in the room). They are always thorough and address any specific areas you indicate as well as giving an great overall experience.There is an instructor walking around who observes and may give feedback to the students. I have actually never noticed the instructor in the moment of my massage.Ive had both the Thai Massage and Prenatal Thai Massage and both styles are great.The only caveat is book early because these coveted spots are in demand!

I started massage school with the intention to learn how to help others through offering bodywork, and what I came out with was more than I could have ever imagined! The learning environment here fosters growth in every direction - mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You are challenged to really open yourself up and to grow in ways that you never knew were possible - all while being supported with loved by everyone around you! The program focuses on both Thai Yoga Massage (my personal favorite) and Western massage so you get the best of both worlds. We also learned about the history of massage, the business portion, and other modalities such as cupping, hot stone, gua sha, myofascial release, trigger point, and others! I truly believe that the school is designed for each student to have the experience that they desire! The more you put in, the more you get out! THANK YOU for this amazing education and for the opportunity to go within to learn all about myself as well - what a great surprise and one that has led me to find the confidence that Ive needed to really be of assistance to my clients and the world! :-) :-)

Iv recently completed the 6 month integrative massage program at DIMS...and loved it!!! What initially drew me to the school is the integrative approach of both eastern and western massage practices. I spent the first half the program learning the ancient and holistic Thai massage practice from Hillary....a great teacher with much enthusiasm and a bright spirit....intoxicating to be around..in the best possible way!!! The later half was spent learning western massage from various instructors all of whom had different backgrounds and techniques to offer to the classes....some more sports therapy, others more spa and relaxation, and another with an integrative table approach of thai/western/sports. I really appreciated each instructor and their personal background/experiences of massage practice...this makes for a better well-rounded student experience.I also took advantage of the weekly evening anatomy/physiology classes taught by an M.D. and a PT. These classes especially allowed for a more comprehensive understanding of our intelligent body structure and how massage can or cant help certain pathologies.In general speaking...I feel that the school instructors were extremely knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, and excited to be sharing with you! Im so grateful I found this school!!!

After working in the professional world with a Bachelors Degree for years I decided to pursue my passion... massage therapy. I wanted a professional school that stood out in the crowd. I chose Denver Integrative Massage School for its unique combination of Eastern Wisdom and Western technique and fulfilled my desire to reach beyond the western boundaries.Most recently I have been pursuing placement and through auditions I have been repeatedly complimented on my training, knowledge and skill. I have been extended an offer at a high end spa in Las Vegas, NV where they are interested and impressed by the Eastern and Western knowledge I gained at DIMS.A huge Kap Kun Kah (thank you) to the staff at DIMS that provided my path for this beautiful journey and rewarding career.

I left corporate America on March 9th, 2012. I started Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) Immersions on March 31st at Denver Integrative Massage School. I completed all the TYM, took the summer to complete all the required practicum hours. Then I took the Western massage immersion in September. I elected e-learning for the Pathology & Anatomy & Physiology, which I worked on through early January 2013. I passed the MBlex national exam in January 2013. I received my Colorado state license on January 17, 2013 and immediately opened my business. The year is not yet over and I have broken even my first year in practice. My customers love the TYM! This is my testament to the quality of Denver Integrative Massage School. They gave me the knowledge I needed to start a thriving business! They are warm, professional, flexible and astute. I find they stay current on the market place and continually update their programs to meet the needs of the community and industry. This was an excellent experience and investment!

DIMS has taken my professional skills to a new level. I have been independently employed in the health and wellness field for over ten years. I hold a bachelors degree in exercise science, am a level 3 CHEK Practitioner, as well as a metabolic typing advisor. The education I received at DIMS has allowed me to help my current clients far beyond what I was capable to accomplish with movement and nutrition alone. Additionally, I have already added a few new massage clients to my schedule and am nearing a full schedule. Whether you are new to the health and wellness field or are looking to further your education I highly recommend making DIMS your next step.TJ PierceBS Exercise ScienceCHEK 3MTACMT

Through my experience at Denver Integrative Massage School I learned valuable information about the human body from all of the different teachers. Each teacher has their own unique style and I thought that the variety was wonderful. I learned how to give a relaxing massage professionally and smoothly in a few different types of modalities including: thai, western, energy line work and myofascial release. Also, through the course I learned about how my own daily body mechanics as well as my massaging body mechanics could be improved upon and I feel that I have truly grown from my journey at DIMS. Thank you to to all the teachers and students who made it such a memorable experience, see you all soon!

Ive been trying to signed up for there Thai on the table continuing ed class for the last few months. They make the process for signing up for the class very difficult for a working professional. You will need fill out a 4 page application and go in for an interview. If you show any sign of frustration then you will not be permitted into the class.
