I've been receiving massages for the last 3.5 years from my regular massage therapist. My dear friend joined the program at BhA and so I went into the clinic to support her and it was AMAZING! Such a wonderful program! I would 100% recommend the clinic! It helps the students out tremendously and the more "issues" you have the more learning experiences they recieve! Book an appointment today!

I recommend blue heron academy for your massage needs. I was welcomed with kindness and my therapist was knowledgeable. When asked about trouble spots it just happened to be her next module of focus so she invited her instructor in, with my permission, to get additional education and hands on help to focus on my physical ailment. I felt well taken care of and respected.

This was my first ever massage and it was wonderful! I felt like I was listened to, and my concerns were addressed professionally and appropriately. I had a totally relaxing experience, and felt very good when I left. My muscles in my back felt better than they ever have and I'll definitely go back to Blue Heron and Taylor(masseuse) to continue this therapy. Thank you, Jan R

Lived in the Grand Rapid are for over 20 years, have tried other massage places and student centers. Heard of the clinic about two months ago. Scheduled a student massage and without hesitation it was the best massage I have ever had. I have gone back three times since. The focus seems to be on medical massage and it has been clear that the students are getting excellent training!
Being a school a supervisor visits at some point during your time to discuss best individualized treatment for the patient. Definitely worth an initial visit! And from my experience- it has been worth ongoing visits!

I went in for the first time and it was truly a wonderful experience for me. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved. The student gets the experience she needs to become a good therapist someday, I get a good therapeutic massage for half the price, and the school sustains its operations from the happy customers who would love to keep coming back for more! I will, for sure! Shout out to Brandy and Danielle, btw! :

I came to Blue Heron Academy for a massage at their clinic in January. I must say I'm very impressed with the safety protocol, the friendly people who checked me in, the thorough intake the student did with me before our session, the technique and flow of the routine. Overall I'm very pleased with this establishment and plan to come back many times to provide support and feedback. Thank you for your wonderful service.

My husband and I are seniors and started going there for massage therapy 3 years ago or so. Then they closed during quarantine and I can't tell you how much we missed it! The students are always helpful, friendly, and listen to your concerns. They are very respectful of your personal level of comfort and always try to make sure you leave feeling better than when you walked in. I highly recommend them.
