"Swedish Institute has a 103-year history teaching massage. It was also the first school that popped up during my search. There are many other massage schools in New York, but Swedish Institute kept coming up in random conversations. I enrolled at Swedish Institute post-knee replacement and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made."

Alexes Hargrove

Class of 2019

"The most powerful thing about my time at Swedish were the teachers. I can truly say that I have fallen in love with every single one of them. Their love for the field, deep knowledge of the material they teach, and desire to see every student succeed shines through each of them. I always said I couldn't wait to graduate and begin working in the field, but knew one of the most difficult things for me would be not seeing the faculty around all the time. "

Giselle Guadalupe

Class of 2018

"My time at Swedish was truly transformative -- the best way to describe it was a 2-year intensive personal development course. I learned that I was capable of much more than I allowed myself to believe. Fast forward to today as a Licensed Massage Therapist. I am currently building my own brand as Karuna Bodywork, where I integrate both western and eastern styles of massage along with energy work"

Nick Rivera

Class of 2018

"I graduated Swedish in 2012 and since then I've worked everywhere from spas to chiropractic offices with doctors. Currently I'm working with the Brooklyn Nets as one of their massage therapists. This has also opened doors for me to work with several college teams as well. It's been a ridiculously rewarding experience working with them. The Sports Massage course with Vincent Metzo [at Swedish Institute Continuing Education] has elevated my practice to a whole different level. It has helped me out not only with the professional athletes that I work with, but also the weekend warriors and the regular [everyday person]. I can't say enough about what a rewarding experience it's been for me graduating from Swedish. "
