The Orion Institute — Local services in Perrysburg

I started Orion's massage therapy program in January 2020, before we knew what COVID-19 would bring us. This school adapted incredibly well to all of the changes, especially considering the fact that the subject is very hands-on. While many places have relaxed their COVID guidelines, this school has maintained a strict mask and cleaning policy, as well as taking the temperature of everyone before they walk past the front door, which is amazing.

Other than their excellent COVID-19 response, the instructor's that I had were very skilled in teaching their subject, and passionate about it. I can tell that my teachers love what they teach, and they're patient with the different types of learners in my class to ensure everyone has a full understanding of the material. My teachers incorporate many different learning tools such as Kahoot, dissection videos in anatomy/physiology class, Powerpoints, Jeopardy games, crossword puzzles, and more.

I would also like to add that the quality of information taught at this school is superior to that of other massage schools. They take a more therapeutic, anatomical approach to the body and how massage can affect it, which I really appreciate.

To anyone considering going to school for massage therapy, I would highly recommend the Orion Institute, as the teachers here equip you with more than enough knowledge to be successful as a massage therapist, and I feel like I have many paths for growth once I graduate in two weeks,...

I recently contacted them to obtain information about my records as a former student. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The initial caller I spoke with was rude, short, and not very informative. When I asked for more details, she repeatedly stated that she didn't have additional information, referencing an unidentified source. Seeking further assistance, I was redirected to a staff member named Sherryl. Her demeanor was condescending and rude, addressing me as "sweetie" and speaking to me as if I were a child. This treatment was both unprofessional and disrespectful. As a former student, I expect to be treated with respect and courtesy, not with a patronizing attitude. It would have been more appropriate for the staff to suggest potential solutions or offer more assistance to help address my concerns. Instead, the experience left me frustrated and dissatisfied. I hope the school takes steps to improve their customer service and treat all former students with the respect...

I was referred here by a friend. As I was looking for a new massage therapist, I’m so glad I found Jessica. She is insanely talented. I’m a girl who holds her stress in her shoulders and neck and I’m always super tight in that area. Jessica took the time to really work on my shoulders/neck to make sure she got them as loose as possible. Along with the rest of my muscles, she worked on everything very slowly with the perfect amount of pressure! Her touch is very healing. She’s super sweet and has such an awesome technique. I’ve NEVER expierenced a massage like the one I received from her. I smiled through the whole thing and will defiantly be coming...
