Celebrating Half a Century of Healing

Jul 12, 2023

Reflecting on 50 Years of the Florida School of Massage

Throughout its history, the Florida School of Massage has experienced various changes and adaptations. Faculty and staff have come and gone, the school has transitioned between different locations, and regulations governing massage therapy have evolved. However, amidst these changes, the underlying mission of the school has remained constant – to enhance the quality of life through the vehicles of touch and awareness.

As the school celebrates its 50th year of existence, it is a time of reflection and gratitude.

Thousands of students have passed through the doors of the Florida School of Massage, embarking on careers as therapists and positively impacting countless lives. The ripple effect of their care and compassion has reached hundreds of thousands of individuals, contributing to a kinder and healthier world.

    Paul Davenport and I were in Lee Joseph’s first class he taught.
    I became administrator with Lee, Instructor for Colon Hydrotherapy and Therapist.
    Became a branch of the school teaching Colon Hydrotherapy at my clinic BodyWork Therapys in Gainesville when Paul took over the school. I was part of the school moving from Main Street to the 2nd and 3rd location.
