"I can't believe how fortunate I am to have come across Myotherapy Institute! Thank you very much for ALL the efforts of Myotherapy Staff! Cherie, Craig, Gerri, Duke, Ivan, Louis, Connie, Meade, Jeanetta, Shirley and all other staff involved in completing my massage / bodywork / people work education. From the very beginning, I have been thoroughly impressed at how comprehensive Myotherapy Institute's program is. The monthly weekend intensives was a wonderful idea and worked out best for me as far as schedule time involved. Two days, during the month gave me opportunity to assimilate the information shared to practice and learn that before the next intensive. I feel that not only have you helped me become a massage therapist, but a master body worker as well. Always learning and growing, I now have the tools I need to fulfill one of my dreams and start the work God has sent me to do. When I graduated from College with a degree in Psychology, I felt lacking, feeling like there was something else to help me understand and truly help people. Myotherapy Institute has given me that understanding. Thank you. This letter would not be complete if I did not thank Jim Foster for a very satisfying journey. I feel that he and I would have been friends; we are very much alike. Thank you Jim, I know you have found peace in the realms of spirit. And finally, thank you Shirley for continuing Jim's precious work. All of you."

"Myotherapy Institute has been a major asset in developing my own self-awareness and business. You have helped me in realizing more clearly what my clients needs are and in providing them to each one. I hope that others will follow as I did and take advantage of what Myotherapy offers. I know that it has changed my outlook forever and will do the same thing for others."

- Jeff, Maine

"I liked the ability to work at my own pace, be able to review video's and tapes for further education as needed, and hold down a job and not worry about."

- L.B. Oregon

"I liked the fact that I could study at home and work with my MTI [LT] in Sterling; it was the only way I could achieve this goal, because of the area I live in and the nearest school is too far for me to travel. I am really excited to have been able to reach my goal! I very much enjoyed the classes in psychology, acutherapy, and polarity, and chakra balancing - those were my favorite and right up my alley! I have several clients who have been very delighted and helped by the acutherapy; it always amazes them what a light touch can do! Chakra balancing and polarity are some things I have already been using - and I always love to hear more about them! Being certified will definitely help my credibility! I have learned a lot and it has definitely helped me become a better therapist. The only "problem" is I now realize the more I know, the more I need to know. There is still much to be learned, but I will have fun learning more ways to help people.
"P.S. The business mastery lessons have also been very beneficial, it was probably my least thought out area, but now I realize the great importance of it!"

- L.B., Colorado

"I like the convenience of home study, the business information, variety of therapies, travel and good intentions of the staff."

"My experience was somewhat unique in that I am a totally blind student. The MIRC [MIM] program was challenging and demanding. I often had to use creative intervention to manage the material. Massage Therapy is a continuous learning and growing process. The MIRC program, with my effort, provided me with a solid foundation for a lifetime of therapeutic massage excellence and prosperity. I recommend anyone who is truly dedicated to excelling in the field of massage take advantage of the tremendous education and experience provided by MIRC."

- Brett, Utah

"I especially enjoyed coming to the Intensives. I enjoyed the fact that I can talk to the experienced therapist. The eclectic value was fantastic."

- J.G., Wyoming

"I would not have been able to go back to school if it had not been for your type of program being available to me. To say the least this is a very individual program."

- H.W., Kentucky

"Specially I could pace myself studying and testing with our family lifestyle (4 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat). Meeting with (my trainer) kept me full of goals. I was able to massage clients at my convenience."

- D.B., Maine

"I could take my time! I wasn't cubby holed or in competition with anyone. Staff was EXCELLENT to work with. The weekend intensives were just long enough for someone like myself to spend in class."

- S.T. Utah

"I enjoyed the layout of the program. It is well rounded in all areas and in its variety of reading, listening and watching. I enjoyed that I could go at my own pace."

- T.P. Massachusetts

"I felt like I was validated for the efforts and progress I've made in my practice in the last three years. I loved the spiritual connection in the tapes. You don't get that in many schools now. I received a lot of useful and helpful tools to use when I get back and open up my new office...my very own office!"

- R.F. Maine

"The choice of text books were great. I've often seen the same books in bookstores near me. I enjoyed the convenience of studying at home and at work, during slack times. I like the flexibility between the Local Trainers Program and the Intensive Program.

"I now have the knowledge and ability to take care of my family for the most part without going to the doctor every little pain or runny nose. This has been a well spent year learning new and wonderful things. Thank you for a job well done."

"In 1994, I enrolled in your Anatomy and Physiology course. Even though my time expired quite a while ago, I wanted to relate to you how helpful the material and information was in the course the enabled me to complete my massage program...Your course material are very well put together. I passed the state board examination with no problems at all. The tapes that your late founder made are excellent and I review them from time to time. No one teaches intuition like he did. It encouraged me to use this technique and expand it through positive feedback and client information."

- C.C., Texas

I liked the tapes and video's because if I missed something I can go back and listen to it again. Also being able to take a course and still be able to work. Down here where I live in order to go to school, you have to have enough money to support yourself for a year and a half. Classes run from 8:00-3:30 pm which makes it hard to work and go to school."

- M.H. Arizona

"I think this homestudy course was well organized and had a good balance between audio, books, and clinical work. The anatomy lectures were excellent and I thought the anatomy instructor was a great instructor. The Anatomy & Physiology was tailored to massage therapy and I liked that. The chosen books and materials were both knowledgeable and interesting. I enjoyed learning the different theories and massage techniques. I particularly love the AcuTherapy and acupressure lessons and feel clients really benefit from these therapies. I enjoyed the Business Mastery book and found it very helpful especially in organizing my future practice. I especially appreciated the impact that this course had on my personal life and the concepts that reinforce my [psycho-soma] lessons. I enjoyed the positive influence of this massage therapy course and the addition it has been to my nursing degree."

- J.G., R.N., South Carolina

In looking at other programs, Myotherapy Institute had more to offer me in all areas. Distance Education is so important to have. There are so many others that couldn't have gotten the training they need without you. I passed the National Certification Exam on my first try with a high score. I turned in my National Certification papers to the State of South Carolina where I have since received my license. Thanks for all your hard work everyone."

- R.B., South Carolina

"I was able to work on this on my off time from my other job. It also allowed me to be home with my family. I know a few students attending a local massage school and there is no comparison with the education they're getting, compared to what I have learned! I honestly can say there were times I thought it was too much, but I am pleased, and if I do say, I am proud of myself for going through with this. I have a true love for this profession."

- D.T., Michigan

"The ability to study while still keeping my job was great. I appreciated the exposure to many varieties of bodywork so that I am able to move my awareness into a new place."

- M.B., North Dakota

"This course, due to it's flexibility in studying at home, allowed me to maintain my job and home. The quality of this course appears superior in its overview of information and material. Thank you."

- S.R. Maine

"I liked the convenience and flexibility of time and location. The study guides were helpful and challenging enough to promote good research."

- J.V.,Michigan

"I like the way Triad of Health was presented. I feel this subject is very important. I was impressed with the way the spiritual part was covered without pushing any particular religion. The part that I thought was best was being able to learn from Jim Foster. He must have been a wonderful man. He has taught me a lot about being caring and understanding of people I work on. Thank you very much for this home study program."

- V.W. Idaho

I liked being able to go at my own pace and not feel pressured, this helped my stress levels a lot! I liked having my own time table, no set schedules. I am not a very fast note taker and it was nice to rewind the tapes whenever I needed to. It's nice to have all this material to refer back to. The intensives [seminars] were fun, but a lot of work. I have enjoyed working with the instructors. I feel they are very skilled, fun to work with and have a lot to offer. The atmosphere was very comfortable ans supportive. It was a safe place for me to be with people who are like me. Some of the best things that happen [are] the personal changes you go through, the people you meet and the lifelong friends you make."

- MA, Utah

"I think we get a very valuable and extensive education. In dealing with other therapists, I can see how we have more education about more things than everyone else."

- W.F. Wyoming

"Having an opportunity to work with a Local Instructor mentor was a very positive and rewarding experience. The staff at MIRC were helpful and understanding. I appreciate their efforts."

- D.G. Montana

"I feel I have received a good education with the Home Study Program and enjoy my studies. Being able to work part-time and be home with my children was the only way I could have done this."

- E.F., Montana

"What I liked most about this program is getting to know Jim Foster. I wish I could of met him. His way of thinking was a lot like my dad. I enjoyed Jim's lectures very much and listen to them over and over again."
