Graduate Profile: Kristi Bowling

Kristi Bowling was afraid of going back to school in her 30's, but she now realizes it was one of the best decisions she has ever made. Shortly after graduating from the Institute of Therapeutic Massage, Kristi moved to Escanaba, Michigan. She is now surrounded by Massage Therapists who did not receive the excellent training that she did at IOTM. “It amazes me the difference in schooling from Ohio to Michigan. My schooling and hands-on training has proven to give me a leg up on the other therapists in the area,” she proudly says now.

Kristi works for Atlas Chiropractic, owned by Dr. Hubert, who recently upgraded his office and gave Kristi her own massage room and a raise! She feels Dr. Huburt considers her an equal and asks her to consult with patients who he feels may have muscular issues, including a patient who lost her voice for over six months. Dr. Huburt recognized that she may have an anterior neck issue and Kristi found that her hyoid bone was being pulled out of place by muscle tension and was blocking her voice box. The patient had her voice back in two massages! Kristi also adds, “Needless to say, I love my job and I am grateful for the education I received from IOTM.”

Kristi is just one of our many graduates who has found success in the field of Massage Therapy. The path to your future starts with a great education. Imagine where your degree can take you!
