Dear Prospective Students,

​

I’m so glad you’re considering this path.

Not long ago, I was in a place many people find themselves—underemployed, financially stretched, and unsure of what came next. I wanted more stability, more purpose, and more control over my life. When I enrolled in massage school and discovered manual therapy, everything changed.

 

   Within three years of graduating, I had built a thriving practice and bought my first home—something that once felt far out of reach. That experience is what inspired me to create this school.

​

   I started the Rhode Island School of Medical Massage because I believe education can be a turning point at any stage of life. Whether you’re a parent looking for flexibility, returning to school as an adult, or ready for a career change, our goal is to help you gain the skills and confidence to build a career you’re proud of.

​

   Our program focuses on orthopedic and medical massage—specialized training that prepares you to work with real clinical needs in healthcare, sports medicine, and rehabilitation. It’s meaningful work that allows you to help people every day while building a stable and rewarding career.

​

   Massage therapy changed my life, and I truly believe it can open doors for you too. If you choose to join us, we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.​

​

Warmly,
Courtney McDonald, LMT
President, Rhode Island School of Medical Massage
