I searched for a decade to choose the right school to progress into a higher income level. Previously already having my massage licensure in another state, I wanted to learn something new and exciting, not just the bare minimum for a FL license.. Instantly OSTMY felt right when I walked through the doors. Raven and Wendy were so patient with my questions and accommodating with my budget limitations. This school offers introductions to modalities that are not taught at other schools like ear seeds, cranial sacral, and Thai! They give their students one on one attention, and are adaptable to all the different unique varieties of learning styles. I would choose them over and over again! Even if you decide massage therapy is not for you this learning experience will lay the foundation for any career in health and wellness. Worth every penny!!!

Nothing but good things to say about this school. wonderful, knowledgeable, passionate teachers, a great learning environment, hands down the best experience you could ask for to go from absolute zero to capable massage therapist in half a year! if youre looking for a place to learn, trust me, youve found it. or if youre just looking for a good, discounted massage, youve found that too!

I would definitely recommend this school!! It felt like home the second I walked through the doors. Not only are the people at OSTMY so kind, compassionate and funny, they also are extremely knowledgeable and are invested in your success. Tedy and Ann were the best teachers I could have asked for. I feel like I got the best education possible in teaching styles that I understood. Raven and Wendy were such a delight to see and get to know as well. I can’t say enough about my massage family! I’m forever grateful I said yes to this school!!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolute would! Choosing OSTMY to start my massage therapy career was the best decision I ever made. I did so much research on massage schools in Central Florida and I felt more confident leaving this program and being able to excel in this industry than I did leaving college with my Bachelors degree. Raven, the director, and Tedy, my evening instructor, are two of the most understanding, empathetic, wise, and kindest people you could hope for to encourage you on your new path. They genuinely want to see you succeed. Your class becomes like your family. This is truly a remarkable school!

OSTMYs massage and yoga training programs have transformed my life in many ways. All the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and care about you as a student and as a person. The sense of community in the school makes you feel at home. You will discover a lot about yourself and will grow alongside others who are all on the same path. I am grateful I made the choice to enroll and continue to apply everything I have learned in my daily and professional life.

To start with the teachers are top notch, extremely knowledgeable, with a lot of experience under their belt, dedicated, compassionate, and very accessible when you need them. You will also meet wonderful caring people that become like your family and will support each other:) OSTMY has definitely transformed my life in many ways. I graduated feeling ready to pursue a career as a massage therapist, I was able to pass the Mblex the first time; they make sure you are very well prepare when you leave the school. Choosing OSTMY was the best decision I ever made. So if you are looking for a first class school that will get you where you want to be, please look no further!A big THANK YOU to my teachers; Ann, Tedy, Raven and staff for a one of a life time memorable experience.

As a former student, I would like to encourage anyone looking to pursue a career as a massage therapist to look seriously into this school. It is by far a superior education. From day one you will be greeted as a professional looking to enter a new profession or add to your complementary background in the healing arts. Raven is the owner and one of the instructors. What she brings is a unique quality of insightfulness, energy, and genuine desire to produce quality therapists. The curriculum is tough I won’t lie, it is an accelerated course after all so as long as you understand there is no room for goofing off. Come ready to bring your all, they will give you their all. There are day and evening courses to fit most schedules and the price cannot be beat ANYWHERE in Orlando. It’s a small school, which makes it ideal for that one on one feel. Come in for a tour, sit in on a class, or stay for a yoga class!! Oh I didn’t mention you can also get your Yoga teacher certification at this school as well as continuing education credits in many related healing arts modalities. It’s more than you bargained for...and they treat you like family (honest).😊

OSTMY is a great massage school! They truly care about their students. I attended the the night class. The instructor Tedy is great! He has a lot of experience in the massage field and is very knowledgeable. The class was always fun.Raven the School Director is very involved and is a great advocate for all her students. You dont find a lot of schools where the director is very involved in the progress of their students.If you are looking for a school in Orlando I highly recommend this school!!!

When I was researching for massage schools in the area OSTMY stood out for some reason. A shorter program with cheaper tuition than most schools seemed like a great deal to me knowing that it will be an accelerated program and more intense. Im happy I went along with my intuition and choose this school!The teachers definitely operate out of love because they want you to succeed and pass the MBlex. The owner Raven is a free-spirited, loving person. Ive taken Anatomy and Physiology three times now in my life and Ann is the best teacher for it with her passion and creativity in teaching the material unlike these colleges that have teachers lecture all day until you want to bang your head against a wall. Finally, Tedy is a jack of all trades kind of person with vast amounts of knowledge in the massage world that makes you want to aspire to be like him. His character and teachings of different modalities was my favorite during the whole program.OSTMY has definitely opened my eyes to new perspectives on massage and body work. Come with an open mind and put in the effort and you will come out successful.

I cannot recommend Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage & Yoga enough if you are looking to start a career in Massage Therapy. I had put off going to massage school due to most schools being unaffordable, until life lead me to this school.I fully enjoyed the teachers and staff, and all of the different modalities I dont think I would have been exposed to otherwise. I was so afraid of the anatomy and physiology, but Ann helped me get in my body and really see how amazing it is. I was nervous about massage techniques, but Raven helped break everything down and gave us the confidence we needed to be prepared for the real world. I walked away from this school feeling like I had a community, and life long friends.I passed the MBLEX the first time, which was not easy, but I credit this school for getting me there.

I researched a lot of different massage schools before deciding to chose Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage & Yoga. My first thought before signing up was, this is the cheapest school so Ill probably get the cheapest education. I still ended up signing up after getting 2 massages at the student clinic. When I got my massages I asked the students a ton of questions about the program. They both said they loved the school and the level of education that they received so I ended up coming back to take a tour as a prospective student and signing up for the 5 month day program.I am extremely happy that I followed their advice and recently finished the program on December 19th. Ive already taken and passed the MBLEX and plan on getting my license in the next few weeks. The exam was definitely hard but I felt very prepared thanks to the intense program. Im not going to lie and tell you that its easy because its not but it helps to have teachers that are genuinely focused on seeing you not only pass the class and exam but also who want you to succeed in the massage field.Id say my favorite part of the program was learning all the different modalities. I have a few other friends that went to other schools for massage and were mad because they paid more and learned less.Overall if you are looking for a not good, but GREAT massage therapy program, I highly recommend Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage & Yoga. You will not be disappointed!Ohh another cool part is that Raven, the owner incorporates yoga into the program. Ive done yoga before but I liked her style more than any of the other instructors that Ive worked with.

This school was perfect for me! A very intensive program. An amazing value for what I’ve learned, with a fantastic 4-month schedule. My instructors were top-notch and well-experienced in both the theory, and practice of all things massage, and anatomy/physiology.Thank you to our wonderful Director, Ravenflower, and to our superb instructors!

I couldn’t have chosen a better school to attend for Massage Therapy. With a small class size, hands on learning, and a grounded atmosphere, it was perfect and flexible program for a busy mom of two. I attended the night program four days a week, 6 months. My teacher, Tedy Narvaez, gave us the best experience and taught us in depth hands on training. Even after the program ended, this school offered a bonus class to take for MBLEX preparation. Raven, the owner of the studio, goes above and beyond to make sure students have the necessary tools, support, AND knowledge to ensure we all succeed. I also attended the MBLEX exam study coach with Peter, and I am happy to say i couldn’t have passed the Mblex without it.Also, as a registered yoga teacher, the importance of being grounded, believing and trusting yourself goes a long way. Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage and Yoga provides a sacred place to learn, and a place to work on self love and your journey to being YOU.

OSTMY is a fantastic place to train for a career in massage!The school offers a comprehensive, varied massage training program at a very reasonable cost, especially when considering that other local schools charge $10,000 MORE than OSTMY for a comparable program.The teachers are experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. The program itself offers exposure to many different modalities, along with in-depth anatomy and physiology coursework, to fully prepare students for the licensing exam.The organization of the program and small class sizes ensure that every student has lots of one-on-one instruction, along with lots of hands-on hours.I would definitely check out OSTMY if you’re considering becoming a massage therapist!

Graduated from the massage therapy program and it was one of the best experiences in my life. It was exactly what I was looking for and more, an excellent program, got introduced to various modalities and an holistic approach, definitely exceeded my expectations. The school counts with amazing instructors who care for you and make sure you understand and feel motivated. Like the amazing teacher of anatomy and physiology Ann George Teachworth, Tedy Narvaez, Peter Borrero and thank you so much to the owner, Ravenflower Dugandzic for providing this special and safe space and for all your teachings and advices.

I was in the massage therapy program (evening class) and it was awesome. My teacher was very knowledgeable with a background in physical therapy and clinical massage. I definitely learned a lot about anatomy and got a taste of many different modalities and techniques (Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, reflexology, cupping, PNF, myofascial release, sports massage, aromatherapy, etc).Class size was super small. I understand that the school is still growing, so that my change. Still, the small class size of seven people made a fantastic environment for the teacher to give individual attention to each of his students. It felt very personalized for each student. We were fortunate enough in the night class to have a daily two hour clinic to practice on each other as well as a public clinic to start working on bodies other than your fellow classmates. Lecture time included anatomy and theory.Although this program is more affordable than other programs, I dont feel I got a cheap education. I passed the MBLEx with no problem. I havent gotten my license yet, but Ive already interviewed at a couple of different spas and gotten job offers at all of them.I will say that its hard to juggle 40 hours of work and 16 hours of school, but if youre dedicated and know you can handle the workload, youll be fine. Definitely a great choice for someone whos looking for affordable training with flexible payment plans.

This is a wonderful school. The massage therapy program is perfect for those who want a thorough education. I felt comfortable and prepared when taking the mblex. Teddy Narvaez (massage therapy instructor) and Ravenflower Dugandzic (owner, school director) have put in much heart and hard work into this school. I am happy to have chosen Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage and Yoga.
