History

Established in 1991.

After 13 years as a practicing massage therapist and managing massage therapy programs for various businesses, Carolyn Scott Naile saw a need for better education and training of the beginning therapist. She developed a curriculum; and in June 1991, Carolyn started a class of six students in her home. Shortly into this venture, Carolyn realized that her future would be focused in the education field of the bodywork industry. With the support of her family and every member of that initial class, Carolyn secured an educational facility and the needed state requirements from Texas Department of State Health Services to operate a recognized educational facility.

HandsOn Therapy School of Massage opened October 1, 1991. HandsOn Therapy retained a unique position within our field of educational training. We offer flexible schedules so that potential students can train while still retaining their current employment, and the school provides an on-​site intern clinic «The Spa» for internship
