Graduate Spotlight February 2017 Cath Fonzo

Cath Fonzo, a 2014 graduate of Spa Tech Institute’s Therapeutic Massage Program, is enjoying the benefits of owning her own successful practice! As a mother and wife, it was important for Cath to find a career that allowed her to fulfill her passion of helping people with the flexibility she desired.

Cath says of her training at Spa Tech Institute, “My Spa Tech Institute education has been all it was promised to be and more. I have put into practice each modality learned at Spa Tech Institute, offering my clients a wide variety of custom designed sessions to meet their wellness goals. The gentleness and hands on approach, accompanied by the visual aide and clinic experience at Spa Tech Institute prepared me for employment and self-employment. I was able to take a job in a spa setting and build my own practice slowly. I most enjoyed how accessible my teachers were, how flexible clinic hours were and how everyone positively helped one another.”

Cath lives in Ipswich with her husband David of 21 years and her three children ages 20, 18 and 15. She says her job as a massage therapist allows her to balance her family and professional career.

As far as adding to her education, she recently attended the Tracy Walton School of Oncology Massage. She says the class was intense but well worth it and has been wonderful for her clients and rewarding for her as a therapist.

Cath’s advice for prospective students: “Go for it! Being a massage therapist is rewarding in so many ways. Spa Tech Institute will provide you tools you need to make your dreams reality! It may not be easy, but it will be worth it.”

Cath quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson: “If you learn only methods, you’ll be forever tied to those methods. However, if you learn the principals behind those methods, you’ll be free to devise your own methods.”
