We have modeled our Student Teaching Clinic according to our philosophy at WIN that students who are placed in a more realistic therapeutic environment learn more quickly and build confidence and competence as they apply their knowledge and learned techniques. While working under close supervision with the general public and from the constructive feedback of the clients and the supervising Instructor, our students are able to build on already solid skills.

We strive to prepare our Student Clinic as a very safe and comfortable place to receive massage therapy. Whether this is your first massage, or one of the many you have received, you can be assured that we will make every effort to deliver a positive experience. Our students have been carefully prepared to communicate clearly with you, use procedures to fully protect your privacy and modesty, and tailor the session to your preferences and condition(s) within their scope of training at the time of the session.

All massages are performed by Student Massage Therapists and are supervised by at least one WIN Instructor. All Student Massage Therapists are receiving training in Integrated Techniques and are capable of providing a general relaxing and therapeutic full-body massage.

- First-Time Clients should arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment, and Return Clients should arrive 20 minutes before your appointment, to allow time to complete a brief history form and reflect on your intentions for receiving a massage. Please keep in mind that approx. 20 other clinic guests will be arriving at the same time, making last minute arrivals and changes challenging to accommodate. We prefer to offer individual assistance to each of you and that takes a little extra time.

- Once the paperwork is complete, please inform one of the Clinic Assistants and they will direct your next steps until a Student Therapist is ready to escort you into the clinic. The Student Therapist will review your history and discuss your goals for the session, as well as give you instructions to our changing facilities and explain draping procedures for you to follow with the linens. Upon your return to the table, your Student Therapist will assist you in getting onto the table and then will professionally drape the linens so you feel safe and secure. The session will begin at this time.

- During your session, you should let the Student Therapist or supervising Instructor know if the room temperature or music need to be adjusted to your preference. Feel free to ask any questions related to the massage including questions about aches and pains in your body so that you can learn along with us and be more involved with your massage. At least once during the session, an Instructor will approach the table and may have some questions for you or the Student Therapist that are intended to facilitate a more effective session. Your feedback and cooperation are always welcome.

- At the conclusion of the massage, your Student Therapist will announce that the session has been completed and you may take a minute or two to relax and feel the benefits of the session that you have just received. You will then be assisted off the table by your Student Therapist, and be directed to the dressing facilities where you may change back into your clothing. Your Student Therapist will leave a Client Feedback form at your table for you to fill out when you get back.

- Please support our students in their learning process by providing honest and complete constructive feedback, both during the massage session and on the Client Feedback Form. Once completed, please return the Feedback form to the Clinic Assistant or supervising Instructor. If you would like to speak with your Student Therapist and/or Instructor, you may do so at that time.

- Please let us know if you would like to schedule another appointment.

This fee will be considered "Non-Refundable" if you fail to cancel your appointment at least 48 hrs. before your scheduled appointment time (as per our "Standard Clinic Cancellation Policy"). In the event that you arrive late for your appointment, we cannot guarantee that we will hold a space for you. If you have forgotten, or missed your appointment, we will retain your payment and may not be able to schedule future clinic visits for you.

In the event that you are turned away for some reason that was our error, or due to student illness/injury, you will be given a gift certificate for the next available clinic session.

Student Gratuities: If you would like to express your appreciation, you may do so directly to the Student Therapist.
