Coming to CRSMT has been the best life decision I've made so far. The curriculum is challenging but rewarding, the instructors are experts, and the location is gorgeous. I know I've made lifelong friends and feel like I've become part of a real community. Thank you!

My experience at CRSMT was extremely positive! I met great friends and had incredible instructors on a beautiful campus. There really is no better place to learn massage than in the jungle. I highly recommend taking this opportunity for anyone who wishes to learn the invaluable art of massage while also diving into a new culture in an amazing part of the world. Not to mention, you're always a short walk to the beach!
