Hands-On Training with
Real Clients in our Student Clinic

Massage is a hands-on career, and at Raphael’s School of Massage Therapy, we believe that’s how it should be taught. As a Massage Therapy student, you can work with real clients in our professional on-site student clinic, under the guidance of an instructor.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable moving into any massage setting after gaining hands-on, real-world experience before you graduate.

Hands-on learning and working with real guests* is an essential part of beauty school training. Students in any of our programs must be able to commit to attending in-person classes. For certain schedules, in-person classes on Saturday will be mandatory. Talk to an admissions representative to figure out the schedule that’s best for you.

*All services performed by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.
