I was slightly hesitant to get into massage therapy (despite really wanting to) because of how much…read moreburnout I'd heard about in the career. I decided to tour some schools anyway, and even before my walkthrough here ended I knew this was the place. The owners and teachers have been in the business for decades. They are all incredibly concerned with how the students are doing and what they're understanding. I love how Alexandar embraces all styles of massage and allows the students to find their own flow rather than memorize sequences. We get plenty of clinical instruction as well as relaxation and spa, making for a well-rounded LMP. I've grown intellectually here, but this school also embraces and encourages spiritual and emotional growth. It's a holistic program that nurtures students and makes sure we have a solid foundation with the business side of things as well. It's truly been an amazing experience learning here. I would recommend the school to anyone interested in massage.

If I'm being frank when I first decided that I was going to attend massage school my intentions and…read moreexpectations were misguided. I thought "Oh, this will be easy and I'm just really using it as platform to get into Physical Therapy." I believed in the power of manual therapy, but I didn't truly think it was that technical or transformative. Throughout my time at Discovery Point that all changed. It was definitely not easy for me and I realized that massage school was in a lot of ways harder than when I was in University. The instructors at Discovery Point are truly marvelous and knowledgeable. Without their guidance I would not be the confident and humble therapist I am today. Time and again I find that my grasp of anatomy and my ability to truly feel tissue that I cultivated at Discovery Point has put me ahead of the pack. This school not only prepares you for the field, it shapes you. My life has transformed in many ways from this experience because of these beautiful mentors. My passion for learning has been reignited and I thank all the teachers/faciltators at Discovery point for all that they do.

I am forever grateful for the education I have received from Discoverypoint. The small class sizes…read moreprovide exceptional instruction. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable of the many aspects that create the profession of massage therapy. It's not just a school, but a community, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it. I was completely astonished at how ready I was to enter the workforce after graduating! After only a few months after graduation I realized I was already reaching business goals of mine that I had planned 8-10 years down the line! I'm literally living my dreams. In my opinion, this is THE school to go to if you're serious about a career in massage therapy. And I'm excited to see what other continuing education will be offered in the future! Thank you, Discoverypoint!

We get finished with the massage, which only half an hour has passed, so basically we agreed upon an hour and I was forced to pay $40 for 30 minutes of body massage an she then claims "the 25 dollar special is only for student's". Then why wasn't I imformed on this before the service an why did she agree 40$ for the full hour to begin with? As well as rudely saying to me "so how much is my tip?". Just so she can add that to my bill as well, so it came out to $46.30 for one lousy half an hour. I am very disappointed with the service provided today an will be back tomorrow for my refund of the massage I didn't receive that the masseuse and I agreed upon. I would definitely not recommend this place.

My massage therapist was very nice and did an excellent job but, and this is not her fault, it was not a very relaxing massage as you are in a room with many other clients and massage therapists and it gets loud from all of the talking. I could hear about every ailment the man in the bay next to me had. The lights are bright and not turned low, so it doesn't allow for a very relaxed ambiance. The gal working the front desk (sounded like the teacher?) was very gruff and unfriendly. Not sure if I would go back.

Massages are great but wow... it's a loud place…read more I just want to say the massages are great here. Without question. And the staff are wonderful. HOWEVER, this is one of the loudest massage facilities I've ever been to. I've been here 3 times now and the last 2 times the room I was in has a sliding door to what I assume is another massage room. This time, while I was getting a massage, I could clearly listen to the conversation going on in the other room and I don't believe those people were being overly loud. There is just NO soundproofing between their walls. In addition, I'm assuming there is a break room or something just around the corner and at one point I could hear a group of people laughing and talking loudly while they were on break or something. So just know that if you like to have a quiet environment while getting your massage, this may not be the place for you.

Fool me once, shame on me; fool me once, shame on you?…read more I went to Northwest Academy for a massage once in January 2013. It was a good massage, it was actually my (student) massage therapist's first day of clinic, so I was her very first massage client. For a first timer, she was very good, and I could imagine she would only get better. My only critique for her was that she seemed a bit nervous and asked me constantly if this was ok and if that was ok, but I supposed it's better to check in too frequently than not at all. As others have mentioned, there was only a curtain separating my table from other clients, so I could hear their conversations quite clearly. (One Yelper said "this new location has individual rooms" and that review was dated December 2012, but that wasn't the case when I was there in January 2013.) The woman getting a massage next to me was a massage therapist herself, so she and her student massage therapist had quite a bit of conversation about the profession, techniques, muscle groups and whatnot. You really can't beat the low price of $35 for a one hour massage. I don't live in West Seattle so the location isn't exactly convenient for me, but I figured the price made up for the trip a little bit. I had a friend coming out to visit for a long weekend from the East Coast in February, so I made appointments for the two of us so she could have a massage before we went to the airport on her last day in town. I made the appointment online and there was no easy way to mark that I wanted a massage for 2 people, so I logged in, made one appointment, and then made another appointment in my name again. I didn't give my friend's name because I figured I was the one handling the schedule for her visit and I wasn't even planning on telling her until she got out here what we were doing because she was handling a lot at work before flying out here. A few days before my friend's visit, someone called me from Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts and asked me if I had meant to make two appointments or if that was an error. I explained that I had made one for me and one for a friend, and she asked my friend's name and said that she would change the appointment to my friend's name so that if anyone else looked at the appointment schedule, they wouldn't have the same confusion. I gave her my friend's name and spelled it for her and confirmed that we would both be there on Monday. On the last day of her trip, my friend and I went out to West Seattle for our massages, and when we walked in, the man behind the desk looked instantly confused that there were two of us. I said we had two appointments, and he said "Oh, we figured one was a duplicate in the computer, so we deleted it." They offered to reschedule us, but as my friend was flying out the same day, I let her take the massage. The man behind the desk offered to give her massage for free and reschedule me for a free massage for my inconvenience. I went to a nearby coffee shop to hang out for an hour while my friend got her massage. When I came back an hour later I asked if I could choose a time for my massage then, and the man replied, no, our computer is down, you'll have to do it online. In hindsight, I wonder if the same computer system that was "down" was the one that showed the duplicate that they deleted? A few days later, I went online and made an appointment for myself. I drove out to West Seattle in the morning, and when I went to check in for my massage, a different man was there. "Oh, I tried to call you," he said, "We had to cancel because our student was sick." I showed him my phone, that I didn't have any voicemails, any missed calls, any recent calls that day. Then he said "I emailed you." I opened my email right there on my phone, updated it, and showed him that I didn't have any emails either. (Aside from the fact that email isn't the best way to get in touch with someone with a last minute update - like your appointment for an hour for now is cancelled.) I explained that this was my second time showing up for an appointment just to find it wasn't happening, and I don't live nearby, and clearly they have my phone number since they had called me before, and he just kind of said "Oh well, sorry." I left there annoyed that day and haven't tried to go back since. Interestingly, I got an email a few hours LATER that said that the appointment was cancelled. At the same time, I also got an email thanking me for coming in and saying they hope I had a great massage! It's probably automated, but even so, it doesn't reflect that they cancelled on me? That takes some nerve. As I wrote at the beginning of this review, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I won't be going back. The way I figure, $35 for a one hour massage might be a good deal, but not when you factor in driving out there two more times for no reason!

After undergoing abdominal liposuction a few days before my massage, I came in for a pre-scheduled…read morelymphatic drainage massage. I had minimal swelling and bruising from my recent surgery. I was scheduled for 30 minutes. I was given no information about what to expect from the massage but had done some reading on my own. The massage therapist immediately began very aggressively manipulating my flesh and tissue, which was raw from the recent surgery. Although I have a high tolerance for pain, I was experiencing excruciating pain and was trying my best to breathe through the process, and I was told that it is painful to most. The massage therapist then informed me that a big lump of tissue had moved to one side of my abdomen but that we were out of time and that I would need to schedule another appointment. She recommended that I come back the next day, but they ended up not having anything until three days later. I was about to pass out from the pain. I went home and did my best to get the lump to go down with hot compress and massaging it myself, but I was three times more swollen than when I came in and the lump would not go away. The next morning I woke up completely black and blue and the lump was still there. I went to my doctor and was told that I was massaged entirely too aggressively. I went back to the doctor a week later and was told that scar tissue had probably been caused and may or may not go away. It has now been three weeks and I am still dealing with the swelling, bruising, lump and the scar tissue that was caused by the overly aggressive massage that I received. I've had other lymphatic drainage massages since then, and I now know that this person was poorly trained, and damaged me after I had just had surgery. I don't know what the credentials are of these professionals that are working at this place, but it seems that they do not know what they are doing!!!!
