The average net price after financial aid is $32,665 per year. The graduation rate is 31%, and the typical graduate earns $29,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Irene's Myomassology Institute is the oldest and largest massage school in the Midwest. It was founded by Irene Gauthier in 1987 and is located in Southfield, Michigan.
Students drawn to massage therapy as a hands-on career — not a four-year degree — will find this school's 37-year track record and reputation as the oldest and largest massage school in the Midwest genuinely meaningful in a field where credentials and lineage matter. The relatively low median debt at graduation ($7,389) is a real bright spot, especially compared to many for-profit programs that leave students buried in loans. That said, I'd be straightforward with any family I was advising: a 31% graduation rate is a serious red flag, and median earnings of $29,100 a decade after enrollment means you need to go in with clear eyes about the financial ceiling in this field. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage your student to ask the school directly why so few students complete the program — whether it's financial, academic, or life circumstances — because that number deserves a real answer. If your student finishes the program and builds a strong client base or moves into a specialty, this can be a worthwhile investment given the low debt load, but completion is everything here.
