Massage facility opens its doors
The school prepares them for both paths.
"Our school is specifically trying to bring massage up a notch, make it part of the medical practice," registrar Di Cloete said recently while giving a tour of the school.
Besides methods of massage, students learn business, anatomy and physiology, psychology, nutrition and other subjects.
"It's a complete package," said instructor Celia Stoltzfus, a dialysis nurse at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
"We go beyond treating bodies," said Hands-On CEO Carola Janiak, a registered nurse. "We show people they're cared for."
Students have different reasons for enrolling, she said.
"A lot of them are coming out of divorce, of course the economic thing as well," she said. "It's a healing time for them, they get worked on themselves."
Cameron Belknap, who graduates in September, said massage was part of his rehabilitation from an accident in which he lost part of one leg. After trying college, he entered Hands-On.
"I enjoy this, it's very rewarding helping other people with their problems," said Belknap, who hopes to get experience at a spa when he is finished with school.
Jessica Sylvia also tried college, attending Riverside Community, "but it wasn't my passion," she said.
She had always done massages for family members, and said she likes the medical aspect of massage. She wants to eventually have her own business.
Lisa Avramis of Yucaipa massaged her father's feet when he was ill.
"It was such a special time for him, it really comforted him and I found I really liked it," she said.
She heard about the school from a student, the daughter of a friend. She looked at Hands-On and other trade schools, and liked Hands-On's faith-based approach.
Robert Phang came to Hands-On after working in the culinary industry.
"It was just too stressful for me, and I always had a fascination with massage," said Phang, who lives in Loma Linda.
He wants to get experience working for a chiropractor or physical therapist before opening a business.
"If you have a need to try massage, go for it," he said. "For me it was one of the best things I've ever done."
Janiak said it is convenient being near Loma Linda University Medical Center, which sends over fourth-year medical students for massage training. The medical center has increased their staff of massage therapists, she said.
"Many of them say they're more open to referring to medical massage (therapists) and it gives them a much better understanding what massage is and how therapeutic it is," she said.
Most of the school's students are working before they graduate, she said.
"Some get jobs first and second semesters," she said.
Staff takes time to tutor students, some of whom have had learning disabilities.
"Halfway through, they're doing their own coursework," she said. "We could tell you story after story, we've had blind graduates. It's quite exciting."
Students give massages to the public by appointment at the school's clinic and the Drayson Center at Loma Linda.
"It's so popular, sometimes weeks ahead we're booked," Cloete said.
The school moved from Yucaipa, where it started in 2007, to Redlands in March 2007.
The school closed its Yucaipa clinic last May to consolidate operations, Janiak said. In June, the school was accredited by the Atlanta-based Commission of the Council of Occupational Education.

Top 5 Healthiest Foods - picked by Dietitians
Salmon
Hands down! Salmon is my favorite food to substitute meats. It is a good source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids - which has been shown to decrease LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. In 2002, the American Heart Association recommended eating at least 2 servings of fish a week, particularly fatty fish such as salmon. With increasing public concerns over farmed salmon, choose wild salmon. Most canned salmon are wild.
Soy
Soy products are great substitutes for animal products. I love cooking tofu with various tasty Asian sauces and also enjoy drinking soy milk. Soy beans contain high amounts of protein which comprise of all essential amino acids (the only such vegetable source to do so). Soy beans are also a rich source of calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, B vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids and fiber. Numerous scientific studies demonstrated that a diet containing significant soy protein may benefit heart health. In addition, more and more studies are being published suggesting other health benefits of soy such as the prevention of prostate & breast cancer as well as osteoporosis.
Greens
Green vegetables such as kale, chard, collard greens, bok choy, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, etc... are packed with vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and phytonutrients. They are very filling, high in fiber and low in calories. Personally, I like eating them cooked so I usually stir fry them in a non-stick pan, but it is absolutely fine to eat them raw as well so go ahead and toss them into your salad and reap the nutritional benefits!
Berries
Berries by far are my favorite fruits! They are loaded with Vitamin C, folate, fiber and phytonutrients. Indeed, fresh berries are some of the most powerful disease-fighting foods available as they top the ORAC score chart (a method of measuring antioxidant activity). Berries are easy to prepare - just wash and rinse - no need to peel at all! In addition, you may serve berries (fresh or baked) as part of a dessert dish.
Whole Grains
Whole grains have some valuable antioxidants not found in fruits and vegetables. They also contain B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, iron and fiber. The new 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that all adults eat half their grains as whole grains - that's 3 to 5 servings of whole grains a day. To include more servings of whole grains in your diet, use whole-wheat flour in your recipes instead of white flour. Look for the word "whole" when purchasing packaged foods such as cereals, biscuits, pasta and breads. In addition, try adding wild rice, brown rice, quinoa or barley in your soup to increase whole grain intake.
