"With the tumultuous economy and so many people out of work or looking for new career paths, we felt that this was the right time to open this school," said Rick Garbowski, Georgia Massage School co-owner and director. "This massage therapist school will offer opportunities to those who are interested in massage, whether making it a primary or secondary career, or for those who just want to learn more about helping other people feel better."
Instruction, learning and mutual respect are the core of Georgia Massage School. "My goal is to help students awaken their learning potential. I thrive as they learn to open themselves to understanding and owning the subject. I continue to learn daily; there is always more information to seek out," stated Laurie Craig, co-owner and director. For learning connections to occur, teachers and students alike can follow her affirmation, "Today, Everything I see, hear, read and do, will come to conscious memory by desire".
Craig and Garbowski are both extremely well respected within the massage education industry and will use their life and educational experiences to teach eager students. Craig has bachelor and master degrees in Biology and was the recipient of the prestigious 2007 American Massage Therapy Association National Teacher of the Year award. She developed the first college-level Anatomy & Physiology course for massage therapists in the state and has served as a subject matter expert for the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
Garbowski has held senior level massage therapy positions including lead instructor, director of education and division director during his 16-year career as a massage therapy educator.
