The Massage School, in St. Paul, offers a year-long, 600-hour program in professional massage therapy. Their next session begins on February 6.

The Massage School also offers $33 (includes tax) one-hour student massages in their student clinic. Clinic hours for massages are on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.

In addition to the St. Paul location, the school has two campuses in Massachusetts. Their mission is to provide outstanding massage education that is both practical and affordable.

Their student clinic serves a threefold purpose in that it helps to provide an exceptional education at one of the lowest tuitions in the country; provides practice and experience for graduates to excel in the field; and offers affordable massage to the public.

"We love the win-win-win design of our school," says co-founder Alexei Levine. "It's good for the community, good for the school and great for our students."

Location: 801 Front Ave., St. Paul. The next massage therapy program will begin on Feb. 6. To schedule a massage, call 651-280-7474 and leave a message. For overall information, visit TheMassageSchool.org.
