The Academy is a great school to learn the massage techniques you need to learn. Dr. Frank has created his program to make it possible to succeed with the training while still being able to work full time. He makes sure all students get tons of practice time so that they can perfect their techniques and have the correct stances to avoid putting stress on their bodies as therapists. The programs are very affordable and Dr. Frank is very understanding and flexible when working with his students. Thanks Doc!

After searching for months for massage therapy education programs, I was fortunate enough to find the Academy of Natural Health Sciences. I was immediately impressed by the program's curriculum and pleasantly surprised by the affordable price point.  Throughout my study at the Academy, I've been afforded the opportunity to learn massage therapy techniques that will enable me to become a success in the field.  Dr. Frank Auriemma, provides his students with a well-rounded education.  I believe that the education I've received at the Academy is of high caliber and I would recommend this program to anyone interested in massage therapy.

I was really pleased to find Dr. Frank's Academy of Natural Health and Sciences, after a long search for a program that was held in a classroom, not online.  It was very affordable and did not interfere with my current practice.  The program is intense and thorough.  I now feel that I am completely qualified to aid my clients in achieving their nutritional goals. 
Thank You Dr. Frank!

I attended the Academy of Natural Health Sciences from 2007-2008 and received my certification in Clinical Nutrition.  It's a very intensive and thorough program dealing with all aspects of nutrition. The more I work in this field, the more I appreciate the education I received.  Dr. Frank is extremely knowledgeable and supportive of his students.

"Superb massage school-best in NJ.  The academy of natural health sciences gave me everything I needed and more to become a very talented massage therapist. Dr Frank is brilliant. I looked around for a long time before I found the ANHS. Classes were just the right size for me and the instructors really fueled my passion to learn. And the price was great.  I recommend this school to anyone who wants to become a great massage therapist.

I attended the Academy of Natural Health Sciences' Massage Therapy program in 2005.   After finishing school, I began working in health clubs and for Massage Envy.  I moved to California in 2007 and was hired to teach at the National Holistic Institute, A College of Massage Therapy.  Currently, I am the San Jose Campus Manager.  I attribute my success to
Dr. Frank's willingness to inspire his students and educate them about the field of Massage and what it takes to be successful.  I recommend the Academy of Natural Health Sciences to anyone interested in starting a new career in an exciting profession.

After searching around for a good nutrition program, my friends told me about the Academy of Natural Health Sciences. Dr. Frank's curriculum is extremely well-researched, thorough and current. In the field of nutrition, there is an over-whelming amount of information out there, but Dr. Frank has put in the time to research and organize all of it, which is reflected in the study materials as well as his enthusiastic and high-energy teaching style.  I highly recommend this program to anyone who's interested in pursuing a career in nutrition or for anyone who would like to expand their well-being & nutrition knowledge.

“The confidence and expertise your massage training has given me is worth many times the cost of your program.  It’s been great fun!”

I searched for a facility that could give me the education that I wanted and also be flexible with my time since I work full time for a local Internist.  Being in Dr Frank's nutrition class was like being back in college again.  It was very formal and professional. The education I have gained from Dr. Frank has given me the confidence to start my own successful business. 
Thank you Dr Frank!

One of the best decisions I've ever made was attending The Academy of Natural Health Sciences!  The education I have received from the school has enabled me to do what I love for a living.  I've been an integral part in starting health food stores from scratch; worked as a buyer, nutritional consultant and educator for Whole Foods Market; worked along side Naturopathic physicians and worked as a massage therapist at the Keswick Spa & Country Club in VA.  None of these experiences would have been possible if I hadn't taken the Nutrition & Massage Programs.  I can't say enough about Dr. Frank and his fierce dedication to his students while attending the school and after graduation.  He has been an amazing mentor.  It has all been a blessing to my life.

Everything I learned at the Academy of Natural Health Sciences, I actually use out in the field every day.  Dr Frank Auriemma is a phenomenal educator and friend.  After graduating from the Academy in Clinical Nutrition and Holistic Health, I was able to create a Career, and Develop a Business for myself.  Since Dr. Frank and the Academy are highly respected by clients and healthcare providers, I receive plenty of referrals and I am eagerly invited to work in medical offices.  Thanks to the guidance of a true master of the trade.

It has been a great learning experience at the Academy. I would highly recommend the massage program.  Dr. Frank is a very dedicated instructor and a great human being. The program is detailed and easy to understand. It is a perfect blend of western and eastern methods of massage skills and techniques.  Great hands-on experience plus theory.  I am glad that I made the right choice by choosing the Academy as the stepping stone of my career.  Thank you Dr. Frank!

The school is a great place to learn massage techniques.  Very affordable for the amount of information you receive.  Dr. Frank is very knowledgeable and you get a lot of practice time to perfect your skill.  It’s not just a school it’s a place where you meet interesting people.

I am currently a student in the 650-Hr. Massage Program.   Dr. Frank shares a wealth of knowledge and practical information. The learning environment is relaxed and fun, and the training is very hands-on.  I feel I have already learned many useful skills and look forward to completing the course.  Thank you, Dr. Frank.

“I have very much enjoyed your nutrition course and have gained so much useful information for my practice.  I will recommend this school to everyone.”

I highly recommend the massage therapy course for anyone who is seriously considering being a massage therapist. Dr Frank is a very professional and knowledgeable teacher. Class sizes are small, each student has enough time to practice, to ask questions and receive personal attention from the teacher. In addition, you will learn information and tips not taught in books. It was a lot of fun to share my 8 months of schooling with enthusiastic and friendly people.

For months I searched for a nutrition school that would give me a full and thorough overview of all things nutrition.  I was looking for a certification program that would teach me everything I would need to know about the body's systems, supplements, herbs, chronic diseases, as well as how to actually assess a client and help them properly. The program covers every topic that a nutritionist would need to know.  I would absolutely recommend the Academy's Nutrition Program.

I attended the Academy for massage therapy as someone doing a mid-life career change. The academy was perfect for me. I was able to work full-time while attending classes 3 nights a week. I was a bit apprehensive that it would be physically challenging after working all day, but Dr. Frank taught us how important 'stance' and technique are in the therapist's field. The study guides were very effective learning tools and Dr. Frank is very knowledgeable. He always put the medical terms and procedures into layman’s terms and situations we could relate to. His stories and experiences were so interesting to listen to. I also met so many amazing people in all the classes and we had lots of fun.  Thanks Doc for a great experience!

I was asking around for a very good Natural Health Science School and one of my coworkers recommended and introduced me to Dr. Frank’s Natural Health Science School.  I am very pleased with the school and Dr. Frank’s teaching. The training is very interesting.  Dr. Frank is very knowledgeable in his field.  He understands natural health science.  I would say in my opinion, Dr. Frank is an expert in his field. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who would like to pursue knowledge in Natural Health and Science.  Thank you Dr. Frank.

The teacher is very professional and knowledgeable. His teaching technique allows students to acquire knowledge fast. In this school, the teacher puts a lot of emphasis on practice. Study groups are small. Therefore, there is always a pleasant atmosphere in the class. Also, there is more time for each student to learn and practice.  This school is very competitive with other much more expensive schools. Tuitions are much lower and more affordable.  Everyone who studied in my reflexology, chair massage and chair energy therapy classes were very satisfied.   Many students traveled long distances and had to overcome many obstacles just to attend. At the end, it was all worth it.

After much research and attending open houses for various other Massage Therapy Schools, I chose THE ACADEMY OF NATURAL HEALTH SCIENCES because it had absolutely everything I was looking for. Small classes, great night hours (which allowed me to still work full-time), an AMAZING teacher, and not to mention an outstanding price. I am not scheduled to graduate until the end of February, but I already feel SO prepared to finish the program and start my new career!

After months of searching for the most informative, reliable, and affordable program in nutrition I came across the Academy. It is the most effective and affordable program for nutrition in the tri-state area. I enjoyed every class and was always so eager to learn more. I don't think I would be comfortable in giving nutritional counsel to people if it wasn't for all the knowledge and confidence I gained through my experience with the Academy.

I attended the Academy of Natural Health Sciences and took the Clinical Nutrition and Holistic Health training program and it by far exceeded my expectations. Prior to that I had studied holistic nutrition and natural health at a major university and I thought I knew a thing or two about nutrition, but I was mistaken. After I attended the program I had such a solid grasp of nutrition that I now teach medical professionals the basics of nutrition and holistic health.

For the past few months I have been attending the “Academy of Natural Health Sciences.” 
I am pleased to say that I have had a wonderful experience.  The institute is a great place for learning.  My teacher is kind, knowledgeable and professional.  He treats all his students with respect.  What I love most about Dr. Frank, is his amazing way of explaining concepts and modeling the fundamentals of therapeutic practice.  I would recommend this school to anyone who is interested in furthering their education in therapeutic/medical massage.

This school is a perfect platform to create long lasting skills in the field of Massage Therapy. The hours and tuition were the main reasons I chose Dr. Frank's school, but while attending, I have formed long-lasting friendships with other students as well as our accomplished teacher, which serve to offer me countless opportunities to better my practice in the years to come. Not only has my knowledge grown throughout this program, but also my confidence in techniques which have added to my passion for this healing modality. If you are interested in a very personalized education with attention to detail in a fun-loving atmosphere, then the Academy is for you. Come with a drive to learn, a humble approach to positive feed-back and a willingness to have fun while learning your trade.

The Academy is one of the most comprehensive school's I have researched. Dr Frank's Clinical Nutrition and Holistic Health course was designed to offer the student the natural therapies with the most science behind them, so that as consultants, his graduates will do the most good as well as succeed in the business world.  I recommend this school to anyone who wants a truly comprehensive nutrition program.

Hello my name is Edward.  I'm a 2005 Alumni of Academy of Natural Health Sciences.  I received professional massage training that has made my resume in demand.   Dr. Frank Auriemma is an excellent teacher and has amazing intellect and skill.  I learned from the best!  Thank You Dr. Frank!

The Academy of Natural Health Sciences is the most informative School I have attended. I went in taking the class just to be a little more informed in nutrition and holistic health.
Dr. Frank teaches with great clarity. His emphasis on the importance of nutrition made me realize this is what I should be doing for a living. What you pay in tuition doesn't stop when you are through with the classes. He guides you every step of the way. Dr. Frank gives you everything you need including the confidence in yourself to become a Nutritionist. He is professional and honest. I appreciate and love the fact that he RETURNS every phone call with questions I may have regarding health and nutrition!

The school is reasonably priced and I like the personal interest and emphasis on skills and techniques I will use in the real world.  Dr. Frank wants to make sure that his students have learned, and, are able to apply, everything that is taught.  In my classes, I have met allot of very nice people.  Some of them will become my life-long friends.  Doc always keeps the classes fun and flexible.  The 650 hour massage course becomes a breeze.  On clinic days, we get so much practice on techniques we learned during the week.  It's a great training program!

I had been thinking about getting my nutritional certification for a number of years, but all the programs offered just weren’t conducive to my current lifestyle – family and a full time job! Then one of my daughters found Dr. Frank and the Natural Academy of Health Sciences. It was exactly what I needed. The curriculum was thorough, the price affordable, and the hours fit right into my busy schedule. Dr. Frank makes himself accessible to his students so nothing was too difficult or attainable at any time. Class sessions were informative and interesting, and I found myself looking forward to spending the day learning.

Not only will students learn valuable information in this course but you will enjoy and have fun in class with Dr. Frank Auriemma. He teaches real therapeutic massage training with emphasis to utilize your full body to give a powerful deep tissue massage and avoid any common injuries to yourself. You will learn all of the important techniques that you will utilize in a real world setting.  There is much effective "hands on" instruction given in class and students will actually practice and perfect the techniques that are learned, thereby gaining confidence in their abilities. The price cannot be beat!  I highly recommend this course if you would like a rewarding career as a massage therapist.

Being a full-time mom and housewife for a long time, I decided to go back to school and do what I like.  After searching for a school to attend for massage therapy, I finally decided to take classes at the Academy of Natural Health Sciences.  It was the best decision I could have made.  I really like the environment.  Dr. Frank is a tremendous teacher.  He is very professional and very patient.  I am very happy I chose this school.

What do colostrum, hydrogen peroxide therapy, Sigmund Freud, and branched chain amino acids have in common? They are all part of a varied and interesting curriculum covering both the fundamental and advanced aspects of holistic nutrition which The Academy of Natural Health Sciences offers. If you’re looking for a personalized nutritional education, Dr. Frank’s Academy may be your perfect fit. Guided study through an intensive program involving text, research papers, and testing will facilitate your learning experience. I highly recommend
Dr. Frank’s course as it has helped me in my nutritional consulting practice.

The Academy of Natural Health Sciences is the best school I could have picked. After taking a couple of massage classes at college for fun, I knew it was what I wanted to do. I looked at
9 different schools, including 2 really well known schools but they did not have what I was looking for. They did not care about their students the way the ANHS does. Dr. Frank and Pat really went out of their way to help me with some of the concerns I had when I first began practicing in a physical therapy office. I enjoyed my time at ANHS more than my 5 years at college and I left a lot more prepared and confident.  Thank you Dr. Frank.

The Academy’s Clinical Nutrition and Holistic Health program was an absolutely fascinating study.  There are so many ins and outs to this profession that I never would have been able to fathom it all on my own.  I have taken other training programs but none has been as detailed or informative as Dr. Frank’s course.  I am glad I chose to train with someone who has been both doing nutritional counseling and teaching it for such a long time.  This program contains everything I needed to know to be a professional.  It has given me the confidence I never would have had.  I also like how Dr. Frank gives me continual support with my clients.

Best educational experience of my life!!  I must say that as a graduate of this school, this was some of the best educational experiences I've ever had. Top-notch instructor, well-rounded curriculum and a life changing experience. I loved being a student and miss not being there. Dr. Frank Auriemma is a dedicated massage therapy teacher, and a serious, focused individual who made my time there the best educational experience of my life. I will highly recommend this school - affordable tuition fee, quality of education, good location, small classes, supportive and knowledgeable instructor.
