Reviews of MH Vicars School Of Massage Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Pengwen (DJ Pengwen)

I held off writing this review until I graduated, just to ensure it was as honest and accurate as possible. This program is *challenging*. You will average 20+ hours a week in the work you do at home, but it does remain flexible enough for those wanting to work full time yet, or are parents of younger kids. This program is *self-directed*. The instructors are amazing, and will do their best to assist you (within reason), but at the end of the day, responsibility of passing or failing is on the student. This school is, in my mind, one of the best. Their standards are amazing, they do their best to ensure all graduates are practicing as safely as possible, and the instructors genuinely care how well we do (even if it doesn't seem like it at times). In short, they typically will go above and beyond (again, within reason) to ensure you're accessing the best curriculum available in Alberta. If you're planning on attending this school, I strongly recommend attending an open house (if able), or at least making an appointment to ask questions or address potential concerns.

Just finished attending MH Vicars and I can't say enough about how excellent of a job they are doing. The school itself is intimate and small and the instructors are truly one-of-a-kind and 100% dedicated to the best interest of the students. Becoming a massage therapist is no easy-task, however the curriculum is organized efficiently for learning and suits many learning styles and there is always lots of support around if you need assistance. Thank you thank you thank you.

Before COVID-19 shut everything down, I was a regular attendee at the Massage Clinics. Looking forward to being able to do that again when its possible.

I love our teachers and everyone there. Such a wonderful environment to develop yourself.

This is my favourite massage school. I have been for many massages for the last number off years. The students are consistently well trained to deliver excellent service. I have always without fail received fabulous massages. The clinics are well. Organized and the atmosphere professional and pleasant.

If your trying to work a full time job and attend this program, you will struggle. The monthly program schedule isn't always "monthly" (some "months" being a few weeks). My spouse is not working and struggles to get the massive amounts of memorization, practice massage and homework completed, and still have time to be with the family. On that note, she loves school and instructors, and is thoroughly enjoying the program. She has to study for 40-60 hours a week to be successful, (not the 20-30 hours that is posted on the description). And this is not what we, as a family signed up for, so I wanted to voice that as an outsider, watching this experience. From what she has told me, classmates have dropped out, and its very likely that this is the reason.

Going for years and enjoying the experience.

Best place ever !!! Such a friendly staff and great place to get massage

This review is not so much for the school itself, but for what I consider the best part of the school as a nearby resident and non student of the school. Since their students need practice to graduate they offer cheap massages to visitors of their student clinics. All you have to do is register with them ahead of time. Now admittedly, the experience you, as a client to the school's clinic, will have will vary depending on the student you get, but really it's hard to pass up a cut rate massage. So far my experience there is that they are professional and quite capable. So who can pass up a good massage for a great price? Not me!

Best new friends for all kinds of massages!! I love my Parkinson’s assessment massages and love the students that take care of my body needs. Book now or regret yourself.

Rhonda Farewell

This massage school the best! I have been there for massage from students and they are very good at their assessment and treatment. Remember it is a school and the students are there to learn so be patient and also allow the students to practice a technique that they made need to practice.

This is the best place I’ve been to, they have relieved so much back pain that I’ve lived with that I can not stop coming back.

Mona Soyland

Vicars is a great place to go as a client. The students are always 2nd year students & very proffecional. You can tell they have put a great deal of time into their education. They always go over your chart & refer to an instructor if they have any questions about your condition & how to treat it.

MH Vicars is one of the best massage place. I have been going there for 2-3 years now to get massage from students. They are very professional and awesome quality and communication

Tyson Poncelet

The students at MH Vicars are trained well. The support given to them by the supervisors if needed is exceptional and very professional. One of the best massaged I have ever got!

Roman Zakaluzny (Sr)

Excellent facility.

Connie Schmuland

I have found the massages to be professional and of very good value. The environment is as professional as a class setting can be with curtains dividing each therapy space. Each massage I have had there has been very good, as good as most I have paid for in a spa environment. I have been going to MH Vicars Schoool of Massage Therapy on a regular basis for many years now and will continue to do so.

Shelley Wiebe

The students take great pride in their learning. After my knee surgery they worked around it and also recommended stretches and home care.

Frank Pon

Do good MASSAGE Will be back 100%

They offer reduced rate's for massages and also offer free massages to people with disabilities in order to help students understand the difficulties performing massages on people with handicaps. They are very professional and also great at communicating so we know when spots are free and making the appointments very easy to book. The school is wheelchair friendly for parking and in the school. The staff and students are very professional and perform great massages. James

I’ve been attending MH Vicars as a student for the past year and my experience so far has exceeded my expectations. The instructors are awesome, they really value the student’s understanding and success and all the students work incredibly well together. We are all very eager to help one another out when an extra hand is needed. Everyone has a a great positive professional attitude which really makes the students and the clients coming in for clinic feel comfortable and at ease.

Quintina Blok

I have enjoyed most of the massages I’ve received here - keeping in mind they are students and are still learning. The school does a good job of creating a relaxing atmosphere, as well. I would definitely return!

Shanaz Shivji

Excellent service , all the massage therapists are very friendly

My experience at MH Vicars was 5 stars. The staff and administration are amazing. My instructors and the curriculum set me up to succeed in the provincial board exams in Newfoundland. MH Vicars staff and students continue to elevate massage therapy as a health care profession and Alberta is lucky to have them.

Deb

Been coming here for a while. Have generally had good massages if I make a point of asking the students not to be afraid to apply pressure. Very clean place and professional office staff.Won't be afraid to go back when they open up. Can't beat the price!

I would NOT recommend this school as it caters to favouritism. As a hearing impaired student, I offered the teachers a way to help me to hear more by using the blue tooth microphone and having it passed around so that I could hear everything that was being said in the classroom. I was told that it was too much of a bother, that they would just repeat everything that was said (which they never did). To top it off, there was a blind student that has garnered quite a bit of media attention that was attending at the same time as I was attending. They bent over backwards to go over and above everything that this student required all because the student's media attention would reflect upon this school. I am not the only one who feels this way about the teachers playing favouritism, as I have spoke with others and they too have mentioned that they have noticed this practice--it bothered them and annoyed them. So unless you are super sure that you are going to be a "teacher;s pet", I'd by-pass this school!

Samantha Gillham

Just finished the 2 day relaxation massage course. It was an incredible experience. Tonia and Corrina are amazing ladies! Super clean and professional environment. Can’t wait to enrol there, for the full RMT course, in a few years :)

Rob Sabin

I have always been treated with respect, they are very thorough when it comes to asking things like how we are feeling. They all have questions for me before the Massage, to see what needs to be focused on. I have always felt at ease going in to have my massage.

Amy Cheung

All students taken their time to listen what the clinics need for the massage and always give us good advise what can we do like exercises at home to improve the aching, posture or injury part of the body. I am happy with the students clinic services. Amy

Judy Reimer

I love having a massage at the school they are well trained and always supervised, very professional, friendly ,they review my history and always work extra hard on a problem area just an all around great place.

Rosemary Simon

Michelle M

I did a fair amount of research before deciding on which school I wanted to attend and I am so thankful that I chose MH Vicars. The teachers are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. The course is designed to integrate classroom learning and practical application which keeps the course content interesting and engaging.

Wendi Kerr

I recommend the school for massage. The students are professional and listen to my needs. They never rush and provide a quality massage (focused on what we discussed), leaving me feel relaxed and looking forward to my next visit.

Barbara Lyne

My friend is studying there and I have been her model. I have to say that the quality of the massage is amazing!!!

Andrea Cross

I've always been thrilled with the massages I get. The students are skilled and thorough and knowledgable. I've always felt that they are getting enough instruction to give me the best care possible.

Bonnie Verhaeghe

My husband and I have been going to MH for a couple of years and I cannot say enough of there professional work from Heather to the instructors to the students.

Nola Shannon

Student masssge. All of my experiences with the students has been top notch. They are friendly, caring and professional. They review any limitations or injuries you may be having prior to treatment. They also regularly check in to see if there is any discomfort. They will also verbalize where they will focus treatment on. If they are unsure of any thing they will check with their instructor or ask when the instructor comes along to see how things are going. At the end of the treatment they recommend evercises to help yourself to overcome any injuries or tightness. I have never had anything but positive experiences with MH Vicars School of Massage. I highly recommend them

Carly Ingeveld
