S F School Of Massage

Took my BF and he loved it! I always get the best massages here. And it's always an excuse to go to the mission :-

SFSM is a fantastic school with truly dedicated teachers and administrators. I attended their program to earn my CMT license in order to practice a different form of bodywork, and was able to graduate in 11 months. From my first meeting with the director, I was impressed with the school's approach to bodywork and how much they cared about their students.

The online portion of the program was fine, and I really enjoyed my in person classes. Each instructor brought their own approach, excitement, and helpful insights to the program. They really care about your education, and your longevity as a practitioner after you start working on your own. The students in my classes were a great group and we learned so much from one another as well.

My favorite part of the program was working in the student clinic and getting to help members of the community - it was so rewarding. Not only did I graduate in 11 months, but by keeping up with all my classes I was also able to earn my certification and pass the MBLEX prior to graduation as well. I highly recommend SFSM!

If your desire is to be the best in massage and bodyworks under the best of experienced instructors! I used to be like you! Alas! I found San Francisco School of Massage and Bodyworks! Hurry and register! They're the best! They trained us to be the best!

Recently completed the morning track which took about 11 months. I was very impressed with the structure of the program because I was able to retain the antomomy very well with touch, feel, and knowledge. The teachers in the program go above and beyond to make sure you follow the proper mechanics and understand each modality. Highly recommend for body work and massage as a solid foundation as a heal practioner!

If you're thinking about getting enrolled into a massage program then don't look any further! SFSMB is the perfect school to get you jump started into the massage field. From the moment you join, staff and teachers are available to help and guide you through the program step by step. Absolutely generous with the options you have to complete payments for tuition.

Everyone a part of this school is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you have. The best thing about it is you get the chance to work with all different types of professional instructors. All with their own unique style of teaching massage. Various opportunities to pick and choose your own personal tools and techniques. Something really important that this school is adamant on teaching is body mechanics!

They really want us to have a long lasting successful future! I'm lucky to have such knowledge on my posture, breathing and grounding. SFSM is a really clean and hygienic place, as well as the clinic, always keeping up with the latest covid guidelines. They're equipped with everything all you'd have to bring is your own sheets to class! By the end of the program, post graduation, I feel more confident and especially prepared for my future career! I highly recommend to attend this school!

I started school halfway through the 2020 madness and was admittedly very skeptical if I was making a good move. But all of the teachers, staff, and admin were so diligent and dedicated to our class, and I'm so happy I made this decision. Less than one month after graduating I landed a job in the field that I love!

I just graduated from San Francisco School of Massage and Bodywork's 600 hr massage program. The months I spent here were totally transformative. My class was full of amazing people, my instructors were kind and accommodating, and the administrative staff was always available to answer questions or help with anything you needed. During school you are required to spend 80 hours in the student clinic.

During these hours I was able to tune my style, and build my confidence as a therapist. The clinic has a manager, and at the end of a shift we would sit and discuss any challenges or successes that shift brought. The managers then provide advice, and valuable feedback. This program is primarily hands-on, which I think was very valuable, when practicing in class you could verify with your instructor or teacher's assistant if you're doing the demonstrated strokes correctly before taking it to clinic.

There are lectures, which the instructors style in a very engaging way, like interactive anatomy classes, or business classes including real-world examples. Sarah, the assistant director, is very interactive after and during the program to help you with job placement and applying for your licensure. I am very impressed with her and the administrative staff's responsiveness and clear communication.

I think this school is ran very well, with well thought out course progression, and a very safe place to practice your craft in clinic. I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone looking for a solid foundation in massage therapy + certification.

SFSM is an excellent school and I'm so glad I chose to go here. The teachers and admins are very dedicated and available. There are a number of payment plan options which made it possible to go at all, and the instruction itself is top-notch. The school clinic was also invaluable in preparing me for actual work with paying clients (not just practicing on other students).

I felt ready to launch my career after graduating, passed the MBLEx without much trouble, and the assistant director Sarah's job placement assistance got me my first position only a couple weeks after getting certified. Can't thank the school enough!

I was in the PT day course and I loved the organization of the classes. The teachers are wonderful professionals and amazing people, I didn't grow just as a massage therapist but also as a person. The school has a job replacement program after graduation and the administrative staff is always there to help you out with anything you need. The space is clean and safe and they have a lot of equipment, they also have a clinic where you can practice with paying customers. The clinic has been a great place for me to understand and have a feeling of what the "outside world" could be. Thank you for the wonderful experience SFSM!

SFSM has the best staff I've ever encountered throughout my education. All the teachers and even the administrative staff are extremely resourceful, quick at responding, and honestly want the best for all the students. The program does a great job at preparing its students to become professional massage therapists and body workers and constantly dropped gems of knowledge and experience to take into my future career.

I did the 1 year (600 hour) program which met for 4 hours a day, 3 times a week, and the schedule was very manageable with my full time job for anyone who might have this concern. They understand that we're busy with our jobs, family and life and are reasonable when accommodating to individual needs. Also part of the program are their clinical shifts in which students give massages to actual clients.

This was one of the best aspects of the program as it gave students a lot of hands on, real world experience to problem solve, interact with clients, and get comfortable with giving massage in a professional environment. If you're thinking of a career in massage and bodywork, SFSM is a great choice for starting off and learning everything you need to know to get on that path.
