\"\"Michaela, a recent graduate of one of our school partners, MPower Education shares \u201cMy time with MPower Education gave me the resources to excel as a massage therapist. The combination of hands-on classes allowed me to work around my busy schedule to get through school, which I would have been unable to do otherwise. My integration into Hand & Stone felt seamless and I feel supported and heard in this work environment. The combination of my education and positive work environment is why I feel I have excelled as a new massage therapist. I still feel like there is so much room to grow in this profession with the help of Hand & Stone<\/a>, and I am excited to see my career grow!\u201d Michaela is working at the Colorado Mills, CO spa operated by multi-unit franchisee, Erik Bostrom.<\/p>\n
