The Options and applicable Criteria are:

1.Extension of Payment Period: Criteria: The Borrower’s loan repayment must be current with all payments, fees, and other costs fully paid through the date of the application for extension.

A Borrower who enrolled prior to January 2024 and who has less than a seven year repayment term and finds that he/she is having difficulty meeting the monthly payment may apply to have the loan repayment period extended for up to a seven year period.
A Borrower who enrolled after January 2024, and who has less than a three year repayment term and finds that he/she is having difficulty meeting the monthly payment may apply to have the loan repayment period extended for up to a three year period.

Glowing Testimonials

We measure our success by the success of our graduates

I graduated from the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy (CIMT) and began teaching there in 1996. Having studied and taught at a number of high-quality academic institutions, I can say with certainty that CIMT offers one of the best technical educations available. CIMT places a very high value on a science-based curriculum, which is one of the reasons it is so respected in the health and medical communities. I am proud to be a CIMT graduate.

William L. Elliott - PhD, MS, FT, CPT, CNMT, RMT

Whenever I meet a CIMT graduate, I’m always impressed with their level of professionalism and their extensive knowledge of modalities, especially Neuromuscular and Sports Massage. CIMT and their staff make it very easy to hire their graduates because of their level of commitment to their students. They offer a well-balanced education in bodywork with extended support after graduation. Thank you, CIMT!

Kimberly RobinsonRegional Recruiter/Trainer, Massage Envy

CIMT showed me the tools and foundation and I am now using the skill to have an amazing career as a therapist. Working in Rehab has given me so many rewards. To be able to see a stroke patient struggle with words or raising an arm, but after seeing me, they are able to process the sentence clearly and wave good bye to me. That is what makes my job worth it all! And thank you CIMT for giving me the building blocks to share and treat patients.

Ashley R. Hamilton - LMT, CNMT, NCTMB, FT Rehabilitation Department – Community Hospital

The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy offers an excellent educational experience to students wanting to enter the health profession. As a nurse, this program complimented my medical training and gave me the hands on experience to deliver therapeutic touch in a variety of settings. I value the teachings and skills acquired at CIMT and recommend this program to all that wish to be trained in the most current and comprehensive massage program available.

Trisha Scott-Cummings - RN, BSN

I enrolled at CIMT holding a license from another state and still today I have no regret spending another full year in school. The instructors are brilliant and so generous with sharing their knowledge and skills. The staff is friendly and committed to serving the students. The knowledge and skills that I acquired from CIMT make me stand out from others in this competitive field of massage therapy. I own a successful practice in Carmichael Training Systems, have a contract with the US Olympic Training Center, and also with a successful Physical Therapy office in town. I achieved all these goals in a very short period of time not only because of my passion in this field and hard work, but it was largely due to my knowledge and skills that I attained from the instructors at CIMT.

Jennifer Chee - CNMT, CFT, SET, CKTP, RMT

I wanted to thank CIMT for their unconditional patience and kindness this year. I can honestly say this school year has been the most difficult year I have had. I can also say that if it weren’t for the dedication of each individual working at CIMT, I would not have stuck with it. Halfway into the school year, I was ready to give up because of my own insecurities and obstacles. Yet, every single teacher and staff member at CIMT continued to encourage me to keep going. I have had very few experiences where educators show the level of dedication this school has shown myself and I am sure, many others. All of you go above and beyond to help students succeed. I hope to carry the same compassion, knowledge, and commitment into my practice and with my clients that all of you have shown me. Thanks again CIMT for teaching me to trust myself a little more and for teaching me that I am capable of so much more than I thought, with the right people guiding me.

Nikki Alvaran - Owner / Director / Instructor

After completing my Bachelors in Health Science in 2013 I decided to expand my scope of practice with
massage. I enrolled at CIMT based solely on its reputation. I was very surprised at how quickly we were
immersed in hands-on training and comprehensive classroom learning. After graduation, I began to teach
some of the more complex classes because of my previous schooling. Shortly after, I began working with the
Education Department and now my responsibilities have grown to include Owner and Director! As far as this
field goes, you never stop learning and developing. I love learning as much as I can about health and the
human body and sharing this with my students. The classroom is one of my favorite places to be!

As a multifaceted career, Massage Therapy brings equal amounts of benefit to both giver and receiver.
Choosing a school is an important decision. We have graduates working with professional and Olympic level
athletes, traveling the world teaching Neuromuscular therapy and establishing businesses that are now being
franchised. More opportunities are available than there are practitioners to fill them. Come see what
opportunities are here for you at Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy.

“Movement is Life”

I believe that without the ability to move we lose our ability to fully live. I have been practicing
Neuromuscular Massage since graduating from the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in 2010. After
graduating I found that I loved massage so much that I wanted to teach it too and began this exciting avenue
in Fall of 2010. In addition to teaching and massage I also practice Cupping, Personal Training and Corrective
Exercise Therapy. Bodywork is more than just a job for me, it’s a journey of discovery in how the body wants
to heal itself and move toward proper alignment and mobility. I am passionate about helping others attain
their ultimate education and health goals. Teaching is a huge passion of mine as I love seeing students learn
and move into their fullest potential!

Christy Schreck - Instructor

I have been a massage therapist since 2004. The body fascinates me in that it strives for homeostasis.
Throughout the years I have learned many different massage modalities, a few of my favorite are
craniosacral, visceral and pregnancy. I enjoy working with my clients and helping them to better know
their own bodies. When I am not massaging, I enjoy nature and being outdoors. You may see me in a
park or on a mountain trail with my dogs. There are so many things to learn about how the body
functions, being in the classroom helps keep me up with the latest techniques and revives my heart
when students begin to understand and piece together the puzzle of massage.
