Wonderful experience. Wayne was very knowledgeable and helped give me some stretches to help with my shoulder pain. The massage was easily customized to my needs and where I had pain, and was incredibly relaxing. Already booked for my next one!

This was the first time I had gone to northeastern institute. I had a fantastic massage by a woman named Gennifer H. I highly recommend them for quality price and value. Please be sure to ask for directions when booking so you can find them easily. Enjoy!

I had a great experience attending N.E.I.W.H. I made some great life long friends along the way and I am excited to see where this profession will take each of us. They were very flexible and worked with my busy schedule. The teachers were great! I'll miss being a full time student but I look forward to continuing my education there.

The best thing about this massage program is the flexibility. The staff will work with you and your schedule to complete the program, and you can do so at your own pace. The unique techniques of GM provides knowledge of joint manipulation to alleviate pain. It gives each graduate a good edge as a therapist. The sports class with Meghan was amazing, and doing a sports event as a student was very rewarding. Neuromuscular was my favorite class and Miss Amsden was fantastic. Miss Plante was an excellent instructor as well. A great school to go to overall. I passed my MBLEX first time taking it and obtained my NH massage license - the school did its job!
