Q: What sets Avalon apart?
A: When you register at Avalon, you get a partner through every step of your massage journey. We have friendly teaching assistants that will help if you fall behind in class or need some extra help. Don’t worry about finding your own clients during internship; we’ll book those for you (other schools require for you to find your own clients). Internship is also done in private rooms as opposed to a classroom setting. During Internship, we also provide our students with a free MBLEx review class, to review all the material to better help you pass the test. We will help you find jobs, teach you how to start your own business, and you can use our facilities to book your own clients.
Q: What if I don't want to do the licensed program?
