May 17, 2022 by admin 1 Comment

Massage School Category: Proprietary Massage Schools

Description


The Tennesses School of Massage was founded in October of 1988 by David and Cissie Pryor and has been instructing students in the classcial forms of massage therapy such as Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage.  They offer training in Prenatal Massage and traditional therapies such as Sound Therapy (using Gongs, bells and singing bowls), Aromatherapy and more.
The school has their own day spa where students practice while they learn. This real world experience helps create better massage therapists.
They clearly tell you that a career in health care is not an easy road. It is demanding, not only physically and mentally, but also emotionally and spiritually. Yet it gives back a great deal improving the quality of life for those who receive massage therapy.
  A career in massage therapy is a challenge. It is not for everyone. We’d like to help you discover if it’s right for you.

    DON’T LET THE PRETTY WEBSITE FOOL YOU. Please do not allow the welcoming act to get you either. You think you’re signing up for 9 months of learning. You’re actually signing up for a few years of hell. If you don’t believe me, go enroll, but if you are reading this right now, you can NEVER say you weren’t warned. If you want details read on, but I had to put a warning in the earliest parts of this review because David Pryor is a the center of a lot of TSOM students burnout before their Massage careers even started.

    my child went to this school and all I can say is David Pryor gets off on the suffrage of other people. My daughter graduated way after the 9 month program that was advertised by the school at the time she started, and she was traumatized DEEPLY. That’s why I’m writing the complaint instead of my child, because she is too afraid of him. David has done nothing but run students into the ground by lying and gaslighting students, and it’s so bad to the point that they’ve had to take a break after graduating because of burnout.

    David is a poor leader and a sadist. I suspect some type of trauma from his upbringing because the lack of consideration he has towards everyone and everything other than MONEY amazes me. The stories I would hear about the way he talked to my child completely disgusted me, and he was a sexually aggressive man on top of that? I give it till next year and I’ll be surprised if that building is still standing because someone is going to give him a taste of his own medicine before he leaves this Earth.

    There is no way every student of that school that my child has spoken to says they experienced some type of abuse from David and he still has not been caught! GO. TO. A. DIFFERENT. SCHOOL. I mention David so much you would think he was a licensed therapist himself right? Wrong, he isn’t. His wife is, and guess what- She’s always burnt out too. I met her once and I overheard the way he spoke to her in his corner office…poor woman. He runs everything and limits his wife’s ability to learn how to run the applications and technology because that keeps her, the true skill of massage, dependent on him. Without Cissie, David would truly have to be the failure of a man that he is. Had my daughter told me the things he did to her ahead of time I would have made her withdraw. David will see me in court very soon. He preys on his wife’s Massage therapy license and he preys on the free labor that is massage therapy students.

    If you want to have a better experience when becoming a massage therapist, I cant tell you where to go, but I can tell you what to avoid, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A YOUNG WOMAN. If you want to flourish and avoid burnour before you even start your career, if you want to actually learn and not be treated as his employee and belittled while he stacks his money and neglects your education while his wife just sits there and suffers, do yourself and your hard earned money a favor, and SEEK A RELIABLE SCHOOL.

    If you enroll here, no one can save you or your money. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Considering the fact that you are seeking a massage school and paying out of pocket, im assuming you dont want to pay for a low quality exhausting experience, and im also assuming you dont have $10,000 to throw around, so be wise about choosing a school. It sounds amazing on paper, it seems accessible, he pulls out all the bells and whistles while you’re completing that application, and it’s so easy to get enrolled and pay that tuition and guess what. That’s set up that way for a reason. Narcissists do the bait and switch the best. if you dont believe me, I dare you to enroll. Don’t let me stop you. My daughter was naive too and she’s afraid of him, but im not. David is on a countdown with the higher power…
