I would highly recommend going to this school to learn massage. I was going to a different school…read morebefore I transferred over here and it was like night and day. Walking into A New Beginning felt so welcoming, like family. You can tell Casie and her husband really care from their heart and will do anything for you to help you succeed as professional massage therapist. I'm so thankful they are there and hope they continue to succeed. Anyone considering going to massage school should definitely tour this school. I wish I could have been there from the beginning. Instead I picked the first school I toured with, even though I didn't get a good vibe. The Lauterstein-Conway school was very cold and most of the staff made me feel uncomfortable. I'm so thankful for A New Beginning!!

I had my first experience with acupuncture in an appointment with Olivia. Acupuncture was…read morerecommended to me for some chronic back pain I have. But I was dubious about it. Olivia asked me a bunch of questions, explaining what each answer may be pointing to. I learned a lot about how things are connected. She was very sincere; it was clear that she was invested in helping me feel better. The treatment she provided me was painless (having never had an appointment like this before, I was a little scared it might hurt!) and relaxing. I left feeling peaceful. I'm happy to say that the next morning my back pain had subsided. I was able to twist and turn in ways I haven't been able to in 10 years! Needless to say, I'm officially sold on acupuncture! And I'm trying my best to get more appointments with Olivia. She's excellent.

Love this place…read more Love the instructors/doctors who run the school. Most intern sessions I have had were phenomenal. Only one stands out as bad in all the years I have gone here off and on - the one where the icky intern was getting so worked up with his needles he was literally sweating on me ... I don't know what that was about, but DUDE - EW. Pa-lease handle your business. I had to speed home and immediately take a serious shower ... When I first went here I was skeptical of acupuncture, but I will tell you, even though it doesn't work for everyone for everything, it DOES work for some people on some things. At $30 a session, any old ailment that the Western doctors can't seem to give you a cure-all pill for, come here and see what they can do for you. You just might be very, very surprised!

I do not recommend this CNA program…read more The biggest issue was the lack of communication between the program, the instructors, and the clinical sites. We had a different instructor every day during clinicals, and whenever we asked questions about the program--such as when we would receive our completion certificates--everyone seemed unsure. It felt like no one was on the same page. On our very first day of clinicals, the facility wasn't even prepared for us. We spent the entire 8-hour day sitting in the cafeteria while the instructor talked through items on a checklist. There were no mannequins, no hands-on practice, and no visual demonstrations. Since many people are visual learners, it made it difficult to retain the information, and the day felt like a waste. The clinical sites themselves were also disappointing. Our clinicals were at rehabilitation facilities, with only two days at a small hospital in Georgetown--and even those were on the rehab floor. The facilities didn't seem to expect us, and staff often made us feel like we weren't welcome. Nurses, directors, and other employees frequently didn't want us helping with patient care. At one facility, PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital, a director even yelled at our group for "being in the way." To complete the program, we had to get certain skills checked off. However, many of the rehab patients were intentionally encouraged to do everything independently as part of their recovery, so we weren't allowed to assist them. That made it nearly impossible to complete some of our required skills. The experience became so frustrating that one student in my cohort had a meltdown because she felt like we weren't being given a fair opportunity to learn. Considering the cost of the program, I don't believe it was worth the money. On top of the tuition, we were required to purchase scrubs for an additional $56. They were just plain gray scrubs that could have easily been purchased on Amazon for much less. Overall, I left feeling unprepared and disappointed. If you're looking for a CNA training program that offers organized instruction, hands-on learning, supportive clinical experiences, and good communication, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

I started with…read moregroup lessons (which were actually fun and not awkward lol) and then switched to one-on-one when I needed extra help, and that made such a difference. Professor Torres is amazing, super patient, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. She also switches up her teaching style depending on what you need, which I loved. The whole vibe is very chill but you're still learning a LOT. Like it didn't even feel like a class half the time 10/10 recommend!!

Lack of communication and commitment…read more I had reached out to Ms. Staffa to see if she could assist with my child. We did an informal introduction through zoom, and I proceeded to schedule a formal evaluation/screener with her. On my first appointment, I called her a day before to confirm, and she apologized that the appointment was not document and that she was not going to be in the area. I was completely fine with rescheduling and we proceeded to reschedule a few days later. On my second attempt, I pulled my child from school, and drove to her Katy, TX office only to find out that the office was closed. I called Ms. Staffa and she mentioned that she had a personal emergency the day prior. While, I would have been understanding and rescheduled again, the deal breaker was when her stating that she "thought she had rescheduled all of her appointments". This let me know that my appointment again was not documented and there was a serious lack of follow through with potential new clients. The dishearten part of this is that she fit all the criteria for us, and we were more than likely going to sign up with her. My reason for a low rating is strictly based on lack of communication and commitment with new or potential clients.

We cannot say enough good things about Regina Staffa of Academic Therapy Center. When we suspected…read moreour child had dyslexia, she helped us through the process by doing an initial assessment to see if we should seek a diagnosis and then has stuck by us as we have struggled to integrate an intensive tutoring intervention with his school schedule. Over our more than two-year association, she has consistently bent over backwards to help us, to meet our son on a regular schedule, and to provide engaging tutoring. We have seen his reading comprehension jump a grade level and his ease with reading and general academic confidence improve tremendously. With an intensive program (early morning, 4 days a week), it is hard to keep a student's enthusiasm up, but Regina is so positive and warm with kids, it has helped my son rise to the occasion. Most importantly, we have sometimes felt like Regina is the only advocate for our son in his school context, and now I truly understand what that means and how important it is for parents.

Great class. But beware, they're lying. You don't get your certificate the same day, even though…read morethey plaster it all over their website and automated voice messages when trying to reach them. "Same day" means 3 days, plan accordingly (still waiting for an e-card). Major inconvenience for healthcare providers and they provided no compensation for this lack of professionalism and failing to hold up what they advertise for their business. Go somewhere where they keep their word.
