The roots of this company started growing in the early 90's, when our founder, Judith Koch, decided to take action to leave an unsatisfying career. Aided by a stack of motivational and self help books, she quit her job to go to massage school. Being a life-long lover of education, the next many years were spent building her clientele and soaking in all the continuing education she could. Fast forward several more years, a local massage school approached Judith to start teaching continuing education courses. That led to other schools in the state scheduling her courses, then out of state, and eventually even out of the country.

In order to accommodate requests for courses in out of the way locations with just one or two students, the only economically feasible way to do this was to offer courses by video. This even began to take on a life of its own when other instructors started asking us to carry their courses too. Dedicated to our high standards, we turn down far more material than we accept.

So here we are, a decade and a half later, pleased to offer you the ability to continue your education with some of the finest massage trainers in the world, without ever having to leave home.

What Makes Us Different?

We make every effort to give you prompt, personalized service. Orders usually ship out the day they are received. When you return your homework, we process transcripts twice a week. While we ask you to allow us 3 – 5 business days from the date we receive your paperwork to get it back in the mail to you, easily 90% are processed within 1 – 3 business days. Judith has had to wait up to three months to get transcripts and certificates back from home study courses she has taken in the past, and she absolutely refuses to do that to you. She has a real “do unto others…” philosophy and measures every aspect of our service by what she would want if she were in your shoes.

We also don't put arbitrary deadlines on our courses like some companies do. If you pay your hard earned tuition money to us, it will never expire. So if you order a course today, then life gets in the way, and two years later you find the course at the bottom of your desk, go ahead and send it in. No penalties, no apologies required.

One way that we are different, that some of you might not like: Judith wants her signature on your certificate to mean something. We aren't a “diploma mill” where you just get a simple test you could pass without even looking at the material. Sorry, no, you actually learn what we are teaching, even if we lose students because some therapists prefer to take the easy way out. We believe the vast majority of you want your tuition money to pay off dividends, so we require that you either perform practice sessions or take a challenging written exam, usually both. When you are done, you will have accomplished something of value that will improve your business. If that is your goal, you've come to the right place.

With your help, we support a variety of charitable organizations by giving away 10% of our profits. By doing business with us, you help to support ADRA Development & Relief Agency, National Camps for Blind Children, World Vision, Wounded Warrior Project/Soldier Ride, La Voz de la Esperanza, and others. Thank you for your continued support so that we can help these wonderful organizations continue their valuable work.

A Word From Our Founder

There is a limit to how many people one person can touch, but together with my graduates, we can touch millions. What inspires me is our company goal to give you a new level of success through meaningful skills that produce measurable results to everyone in the chain of benefit: you, your client, and everyone your client impacts with their new sense of wellbeing. I love to hear about my students' satisfied clients—like women who birthed easier than they could have hoped and fibromyalgia patients who were able to stop using a cane—and from students who have found a new level of enjoyment in their career after getting certified in a new specialty. Don't settle for courses that are only theory or simplistic. Reward yourself by making your education dollars count, with courses that have the ability to transform you and your practice. That way everybody wins.
