Student Reviews
The reviewers are overwhelmingly positive about their experiences at the Tennessee School of Massage (TSOM). Many of the reviews mention the quality education they received, the expertise of the instructors, and the flexibility of the program. For example, Mrs. Chrys, who graduated in 2018, praises the solid foundation she received and the program's flexibility, allowing her to manage her household while learning. Similarly, Robin Barbee, a massage therapist with over two decades of experience, credits TSOM with providing her with exceptional education and training.
Program
Many reviewers highlight the comprehensive nature of the program, which covers massage techniques, essential oils, hydrotherapy, and sound therapy. Bryony Walker, a current student, praises the thorough academics and clinical experience provided through the externship program.
Instructors
Reviewers consistently praise the instructors, particularly Cissie Pryor, who is described as patient, approachable, and an excellent teacher. Elaine Mackle notes that the school is one of the last family-owned massage schools in the US, and that Cissie and David Pryor are dedicated to connecting the old world energy therapeutics with the next generation of healers.
Cons
The only negative review, from Sorreal Blanco, claims that the school is in cahoots with the board of massage and is shaking down students and massage therapists for money. However, this review appears to be an isolated incident and not representative of the overall quality of the program.
