Pros - Dims is a magical place. I left every clinic feeling amazing and more importantly I learned something each time. I believe that’s the whole point of school 💪💪💪 Hillary and Kim are clearly very knowledgeable and I appreciate the fact I was able to study under them. I enjoyed the flexibility of the program as I’m a biz owner myself and the dad of 2 little sons. I’ve met a lot of cool people that I’m still talking to after having graduated. Love that. UPDATE (Oct 3rd 2022) - I'm leaving the "Cons" below, as that was my original review. Having mentioned that, I wanted to update this review as the owner Hillary reached out to me personally to discuss my cons. One of the reasons DIMS is NOT like other places is the owner actually cares. She emailed me a list of all their changes and thanked me for mentioning it in the review so they could make joining the DIMS team an easier process. I would recommend DIMS to anyone looking into LMT as a career choice. Cons - If you’re not a detail person like myself, you will likely NOT enjoy their entrance / acceptance steps to enter the program. I almost quit 5 minutes into the program entrance steps. . It’s easy, just very tedious and detail oriented. I’m happy I just closed my eyes and took the plunge! Some of the zoom classes could be tweaked to be more efficient. All in all I’ll give Dims a solid 5 stars. Nothing is perfect, but this is close. I’m not sure I’ve ever called something “magical” before, so for that reason alone I’ll give them a 5. Ive been working on bodies for the last 16 years, so the fact I was able to learn a lot is truly an amazing gift. Thanks Dims 💪🙏

Attending DIMS three years ago was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I did the immersion program in 2019 and had the most amazing time with the best class a girl could ask for. The hands on learning was amazing, and got great feedback from my instructors along the way. The learning space was perfect! We would start every morning with a meditation to set the intention for the day. I cannot believe it has been three years since my first day of class! Learning Thai as well as swedish has made me completely unique at the Spa I currently work at in NJ - I do a very different style than my coworkers that my clients love! Because of all that I learned at DIMS - from professionalism, to anatomy to technique, I quickly became one of the most sought after massage therapists at my spa. Thank you DIMS for teaching me how to help facilitate the healing in others so that I can help people feel better after they see me! Even when I have a long day, I end feeling happy that I made a difference to others, which was my goal from the start. Wouldn't have wanted to study anywhere else!

I went to DIMS in the July 2021 cohort and had an amazing time! The teachers are gifted veterans in the field, and do a great job passing along that knowledge. I had some experience as a trainer before starting, so the teachers did a great job adding to and refining my existing skill set. I also saw them teaching great fundamentals to those just starting their journey. Classes were fun an informative. In person trades were an amazing environment in learn and experiment with techniques. At every point along the way, I enjoyed my time here at this school. Highly recommend!

I am so grateful for my experience at DIMS and cannot recommend this school enough. The teachers here are so incredible and knowledgeable. Their patience and passion for teaching is very refreshing. I love how much they focus on body and mind awareness along with body mechanics, so we can all have long lived careers as LMT's. Going into clinic was always very grounding for me. We started every morning with either a meditation, stretches or Qi Gong which was a beautiful way to get into the state of mind for bodywork. What drew me in the most was the teachings of eastern approaches like Thai Yoga Massage. The best part is, they teach you how to integrate multiple modalities in your practice so you can make it your own. The program as a whole is extremely flexible, but you do have to apply yourself when it comes to the academic part of the program. But in times of hesitation the staff, teachers and classmates were always encouraging and inspired us to keep going. I can't thank Hillary, Kim, Eric, all the admin and everyone else enough for this invaluable educational experience.
