My name is Tara, I am 25 years old, and started the D’Arcy Lane Human course in September 2014. Starting from the beginning as to why I chose to become a RMT … it started way back in high school when my friends just wanted a shoulder or neck massage. A few of them suggested I should go to school to become a Massage Therapist, but my heart was set on the art of Graphic Design. I signed up for the Fanshawe College Program and was there for 3 years. Fantastic course! I had some interviews throughout the years afterwards, but then it died down a bit. Most of the jobs in my field were all placed in Toronto, I didn’t want to live there and decided I should go another route. So, I chose to become a Registered Massage Therapist instead. I can still do my artwork on the side, make my own business cards and set up my own website when I want to have my own business at some point in time. D’Arcy Lane ended up being my #1 choice. They had several fantastic reviews from RMTs I spoke to. I absolutely love it here! The teachers are amusing and fun during class while we are learning and the school days are long, but worth it!
