Testimonials

I would like to take a moment to share my deep appreciation for the outstanding team of teachers at JSG. You truly have a remarkable group of educators, and I’m so grateful to you, Dr. Jane, for making this experience possible for us.

When I first saw you on Zoom, Dr. Jane, my reaction was simply: Wow!

At your age, the enthusiasm, energy, and zeal you bring to teaching are nothing short of inspiring. The way you remember the names of all the bones and muscles, keep the class interactive and engaging, and call on us to answer—these things kept us alert, focused, and learning with intention. I found myself thinking, I hope I can be like her when I’m 72!

You are incredibly kind and truly committed to enabling each one of us to become a massage therapist. You go above and beyond to accommodate everyone, and that means so much. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. I am totally and deeply grateful.

Mary is an exceptional teacher. With her, I never feel nervous. She is patient, sweet, and creates a space where we feel safe to make mistakes and learn. Her calm presence helps us absorb the material faster and with confidence. Thank you, Dr. Jane, for having her on the team.

Julie—what a gem! She is so loving and caring. On Monday, she even made us bliss balls to enjoy between treatments when we were hungry. That small gesture spoke volumes about her thoughtfulness. Julie is not only a wonderful teacher but also an incredible leader. You have a truly amazing daughter, Dr. Jane.

Marianna is another fantastic part of the team. She is playful, full of energy, and has a wonderful sense of humor—yet she doesn’t hesitate to be firm when we’re not getting the steps right. She encouraged us constantly, saying, “You can do it,” and reminded us often, “When you stop making the steps complicated, you’ll get it.” That encouragement really helped. She was even kind enough to lend me her massage table because it was easier to carry—such a generous and thoughtful gesture.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you and your team do. JSG is a special place because of the people in it.

All it takes is three months, the great staff at JSG and commitment to get trained as a massage therapist and prepared for licensing. I had a great experience and am very grateful!

I took the Massage Therapist training at JSG. I can’t say enough good things about it. The teachers are fun, kind and knowledgeable. We learned A LOT, despite of it being an accelerated course. Dr. G was a lot of fun as well, with tons of knowledge and excellent tips and advices. The cherry on top was to learn with a very nice, fun and supportive group of ladies. I definitely recommend JSG if you want to take a shorter course, be prepared, though, it is intense and there is a lot of homework. All worthy. 🙂

I am so happy I joined the JSG School to train for my dream career of being a massage therapist. Dr. Jane was absolutely great! She was so patient and helpful answering all my questions when I was deciding if I should join. She made the onboarding seamless and I couldn’t have made a better decision!

JSG works hard to ensure that school can work for everyone. Their class schedule make it so easy being that it isn’t during work hours. As a frum Jewish woman attending the school I found them to be welcoming and accommodating.

Julie, Lisa, and Mary were the most amazing teachers I could’ve possibly trained under. They were patient, clear, and ensured that everyone was able to do their best!!

Tyler made the theory classes understandable and explained all the systems really well. This really prepared me for the MBLEX.

The PowerPoints and review book Dr Jane worked so hard to put together really made a big difference in learning and understanding the course material. The coloring book – though thick and detailed – was fun and helped those that are visual learners understand the body systems better.

Most exciting part of the week was the review sessions on zoom with Dr Jane!! It was so light and enjoyable. Dr Jane – you really have a sense of humor, personality, and a world of knowledge that few your age have. I appreciated that very much!

All in all I am proud to be a graduate of JSG School of Massage Therapy!!!!

I truly enjoyed this course so much that I’m still in shock I’ve officially obtained my massage therapy certification! This journey has been nothing short of transformative, and I owe it all to the incredible instructors who guided me along the way: Dr. Garofano, Julie, Mary, Mariana, Lisa, Michelle, and Dr. Tyler. I cannot thank them enough for their unwavering support, passion, and the wealth of knowledge they shared throughout this entire experience. The course was accelerated, which made it intense and challenging, but also extremely fun and rewarding. I walked away from this program not only with a certification and deeper understanding of massage therapy but also with a stronger sense of self-awareness, and meaningful friendships with my classmates who became like family. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Garofano for giving me this opportunity. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I look forward to continuing to grow and learn in this field.

To anyone considering a career in massage therapy: I hope this review encourages you to take that leap. Approach it with an open heart like I did, you won’t regret it!!

Thank you, JSG School of Massage, for everything. I will truly miss each and every one of you!
