I had a wonderful experience in the Massage Therapy Program at Port Saint Lucie Beauty Academy. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about student success. The hands-on training gave me the confidence and skills I needed to feel prepared for my career. I highly recommend this program to anyone pursuing massage therapy!

Great teachers and staff. Much support from everyone and appreciated the time spent to understanding the studies/ test preparation including how to gain skills to be a great successful massage therapist, and not to give up. I never in my life had high test scores. But , here I did. Being at age 56 it was an huge challenge, but grateful for the accomplishments that I have achieved. Even when I got sick, I got the help to get caught up with the rest of the students . This place became my own sanctuary. Dreams do come true.

Just graduated, great school. 100% recommend to anyone wanting to start their cosmetology career. Hands on training and teaching. Kris and Emily are the best instructors ever, they never made me feel stupid, always made sure I understood what I was doing, and always made me feel like family. Happy to be done but sad to go.
