"It’s been three years since I’ve graduated from IMI, and I have just celebrated my two year anniversary of having my own business as a Massage Therapist. I know without a doubt that my training from IMI has given me the tools to become a successful therapist and business owner. I walked in the doors of IMI with the dreams of becoming a successful business owner and walked out fully equipped with the knowledge to succeed. I credit my instructors for giving me the knowledge needed to become a success. In addition, the business course I received encouraged me to make a business plan that I followed step by step when I decided to start my own business, and it worked perfectly! Most of all, the NMT course of study has put me a step above the rest! I consider Neuromuscular Therapy to be my specialty and know that because I was well trained by IMI in this field, it has made my therapeutic massage treatment much more beneficial for my clients. Who, by the way, are amazed with the knowledge I have concerning trigger points! In closing, I just have one thing to say: Thank you Intellitec Medical Institute for helping me make my dreams come true!"
