Devi Ward is sexy and dangerous and probably one of the best Tibetan Tantra teachers around. It…read moretook years to find her but well worth it. One of the things she helped me do was regain my sexual confidence after a romantic rejection I took hard. Devi also guided me to regain my inner footing around sexuality. Rather than tell me to just go out and get lucky she supported me in developing my own inner sexual confidence without associating validation from another person. When the student is ready the teacher appears. After I cried out all the tears of feeling rejected as a woman, of rejecting my own femininity, but no thoughts of joining a convent entered my mind. Serendipity stepped in a month later when a friend of mine forwarded a newsletter to me via facebook. It was written by Devi Ward about Tibetan Tantra. Even though she is based in Seattle, Devi is able to teach the practices virtually via Skype. I just knew what healing remedy was that needed and wanted to do. My intuition compelled me to respond. The path was clear and glad I followed my intuition to start the steps towards Tantrika training.

Very knowledgeable and we both learned a lot more than we thought we would have. Things that we didn't know were even a possibility. We learned how to connect in a completely different way, physically and spiritually. It was an awesome life changing experience! It will be a journey, for my husband and I, to get the best out of what she taught us and it will take a lot of practice but we for sure got more than we needed to succeed and achieve more than we can even imagine. We are so so grateful for her! She is currently located in Bellingham, WA but is looking to move to Seattle,WA, which is a lot closer to where we live. So we look forward in the possibility to attend any seminar or teachings she offer. Don't be afraid or too self conscious, just go for it. Devi is awesome!

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!

The instructors, Britney and Courtney, are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about your success.

This hands-on program helped me connect everything I was learning in class with my real-world experience--I was even able to get a job while still in school, which allowed me to apply what I was learning right away. Becoming a great RDA takes effort and commitment, but with the support and structure of this program, it's absolutely achievable. I'm so grateful to be part of the Registered Dental Assisting Academy family. Highly recommend this program to anyone serious about starting their dental career!

This school is also far more affordable and any other dental assisting program i have looked into. The community, the atmosphere, just everything was amazing. Felt like family, and just so easy to communicate with, with instructors being so open, honest, caring, genuine, and goofy! Love this program and would 1000% recommend! I would go back in a heartbeat if i had to. AND they are so open to students that have graduated to come back in and practice more skills if needed which is so great!

To be honest, I didn't know what I should be expecting when I signed up to volunteer with this group (except to help support my friends in a good cause! :)) I had volunteered/helped other organizations paint in various before and I remembered it could be a pretty difficult task to accomplish. To my surprise, though, the work that Urban ArtWorks asked us to do was actually quite easy and relaxing. They were also very organized and prepared with all the tools/equipment needed to paint..so we could get to the task fast! :) Overall, it was pretty fun and an easy task that I was glad I joined and still didn't get discouraged by the tasks at all. The head volunteer/group organizers were also pretty helpful. They made sure we had the right tools/know what to do..and helped direct whenever we ran out of things to do. Overall, I spent about a few hours painting and just generally really enjoyed a chance to be out there to positively contribute to the neighborhood I lived in. Some people (even some professional painters) who passed by the area were also intrigue by what we were doing and stopped by to learn about the organization as well. If you had a chance to join them in the future, jump in..it's definitely a relaxing, fun thing to do with a group of people you already know..or perhaps..you will meet a new friend who likes contributing to the cause you both share.
