Meet The Founders: John And Karen Kestner Talk About The History Of The Massage School

Ever wondered if those impromptu shoulder rubs you give to family and friends could transform into a fulfilling career? In this candid conversation with John and Karen Kestner, founders of Reflections of Health Massage School, we uncover the remarkable journey of two natural healthcare practitioners who built an educational haven for aspiring massage therapists.

The Kestners take us back to 2002 when they asked themselves a simple yet profound question: "How can we help more people?" This led to the founding of their massage school in 2004, which has since graduated 600-700 students. Their timing proved fortuitous when they sold the business in 2019, just before COVID hit, though they've since returned in supportive roles to keep their legacy thriving.

What truly sets Reflections of Health apart is their individualized approach to education. "When you're teaching massage to a student, we take them as an individual," Karen explains. Rather than forcing standardized techniques, they adapt their teaching to each student's unique physical capabilities. With Karen's 38 years of hands-on experience, her emphasis on proper body mechanics has helped countless graduates build sustainable, decades-long careers without the physical burnout that plagues many therapists.

For those concerned about entering a saturated field, Karen offers reassurance: "There are never too many massage therapists," explaining that physical limitations on how many clients one person can treat creates continual demand. Plus, with endless continuing education opportunities, "it's always a career that blossoms."

Whether you're seeking escape from the corporate grind, looking for flexible income during college, or ready to transform those casual family massages into professional skills, the message is clear - your healing hands could be the foundation of a powerful, purpose-driven career. Ready to explore this path? Your future might be just one massage away.
