The Wellness Institute of Chester County

He's working in our medical clinic making over $1700 a WEEK!

How'd he accomplish that? Easy. He was on a special program that we offer at our school unlike ANY other school. We teach you about using massage as a therapeutic treatment, how massage can be used to heal the body, how to treat your patient with dignity and respect. BUT! More importantly, we teach you how to be successful.

Dr. Zappy owns and operates The Wellness Center of Chester County, a health and wellness clinic attached to our Massage School. He has written into the curriculum how to leverage online marketing strategies, how to market yourself to client, how to create treatment plans, how to create value! You WILL NOT get this from other schools. Other massage schools will only be teaching you how to rub oil on people. Don’t waste your time or money with that non-sense.

The results were great for our corporate friend who couldn’t stand his job and they'll most likely be good for you as well, whatever your situation is. If you haven't gotten the free book we gave him yet, message us for a copy, read it, then call the admissions office. We'll take good care of you, and you'll finally have your life back.

Just call the admissions office at (484) 341-8598 and tell them that you're ready to finally start a career you enjoy, and that Dr. Zappy recommended you get in as soon as possible. That'll move you to the front of the list so we can start helping you as soon as possible.

Here is a Message from Dr. Zappy:

What do you do? I get asked this question all the time. And I’m sure you get asked this question all the time as well. In passing, making small talk, among family you haven’t seen for some time, new person you’re meeting at church… “So, What do you do?” It seems to be the question most people ask when they are first getting to know someone. So while we’re getting to know each other, I’d like to take a moment and answer this question.

My name is Dr. Joseph Zappy, and I solve pain problems for the community I serve.

No matter what pain problem you or someone you care about is suffering from, I work hard to find solutions to these problems. And when I say solution, I mean RESOLUTION. I’m not talking about just masking pain with medication or temporary relief with a couple stretches, or worse, buying time with an invasive surgery that causes so many mechanical problems the patient needs 3 more surgeries within the next 15 years. I’m talking long term, sustainable, RESULTS. How do I do that?

By spending TIME with patients trying to IDENTIFY the real PROBLEM not just reduce their pain. Pain is just the body telling you something is wrong. Just shutting off the pain isn’t solving anything. We need to identify the root of the problem and cut off the head of the snake.

Because we get such good results with this approach, tt is my promise to my YOU that we will spend all the time we need to accurately EDUCATE you in how to identify individual problems, establish individual solutions, and deliver individual plans for your patients after you graduate.

I look forward to working with you to help you discover how to solve pain problems. You will graduate and not be just another massage therapist, you will be a pain solutions provider! Don’t wait, call me today and let’s launch a career that means something to you, and to the community you’ll be serving.

Our mission to you

Mission statements are good, but they mean absolutely nothing if you don’t live by them. We want our mission to be crystal clear for not only our staff but for the community we serve. The mission of The Wellness Institute of Chester County is to educate, equip, and evangelize the community we serve. Well what the heck does that mean? Let me explain.

Education is one of the most important pieces of your career choice. If you don’t understand your industry, how can you make any progress towards success, or understand what’s going to make you better than the rest? That means we’re dedicated to spending time, 1 ON 1, educating you on what your specific educational needs and development areas are. We don’t just throw you in a large classroom with some fancy books and start teaching. We encourage students to schedule 1 ON 1 time with our instructors, email your concerns, ask questions, whatever it takes.

We are so passionate about your individual educational needs we actually limit the class sizes to only 16 students. Any more and students seem to get lost in the shuffle and don’t learn well. It’s not fair to have a student in class not be able to see a demonstration because there are too many people in the classroom! I know what the feels like, and it’s something we make sure to NEVER do. We’ll sit down with you, open a book together, draw on a picture in the classroom with a dry-erase, and TEACH you what is going on. Not just project information to a large group for whoever hears it. We want to make sure YOU hear it, and learn it.

Dr. Zappy is the authority on musculoskeletal conditions in Chester County and our team of providers and instructors are the experts in their solutions. We want to teach these skills to you as well! Equipping students with the means, tools, confidence, and trust necessary to commit to their career choice, be successful, and grow the massage industry is just as important as your education. Which is why it’s the second part of our mission to you.

This is not just about giving you a massage sequence to repeat at spa. While that’s very important and we do a great job at doing that, let’s also equip you with resources, websites, books, skills, and concepts you need to be better than your competition. We want to equip you with trust!

We are successful people in this industry. I grew my practice from a small, one man operation in an old barn to a multi-level therapeutic conservative care clinic in just a few years. And you can too! I want to show you what I did, how I did it, and equip you with the tools you need to be successful.

For the final piece of our mission, God is so good! Always. And He is blessing this opportunity with an abundance of resources from our community. They are coming to our clinic with physical pain, emotional pain, and very often spiritual pain. They are coming to our school with career stress, family time problems, work life balance challenges, and financial hardship! God is sending us people who are here for a reason, and His reason may not be ours.

Seeing into a patient’s spiritual needs takes focus. Through the grace of God we listen for the spiritual needs of our students and show them the love of God every day in our classroom. You’ll find our teachers, administration, and directors asking you personal questions like “How are you doing? How’s life at home? What’s going on with your family? How is your marriage? What’s your relationship like with your kids? What’s your spiritual life like?” Not because we’re curious… because we CARE. About you, your success, and your well-being.

God wants us to be obedient servants for His kingdom. We have the ability and opportunity to address these questions to students that trust us, know that we care about them, and just want to help them be successful (in all forms of life’s challenges). Addressing these deeper spiritual needs is the MOST important aspect of being a healthcare provider and an educator... and it is never addressed. How amazing that God has provided our school with an opportunity to fill that gap and let people know that God loves you, He cares about you, and that He will take care of all your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

I hope you enjoy our mission as much as we do. We’re looking forward to educating, equipping, and evangelizing your career needs today.

All of the members in our office are aligned with the same mission. Whether you are seeing Dr. Zappy at the clinic, sitting down with your instructor to go over your exam, or having a conversation with the Acting Director of Education, Robyn, you will be cared for on a level you may not have experienced before. This is what education and training is all about. This is what education SHOULD be. We hope you join our mission. See you soon!

How much is this going to cost?

I’m glad you asked. [I asked?... I’m sure you’re asking in your head? LOL]

Listen, there’s an Elephant in the Room that no one wants to talk about. Some school don’t even list it on their public information, which is very scary. This is the main reason why people don’t start an educational training program, don’t commit to their career change, or fall off of a semester and don’t get their degree. MONEY.

It is the barrier and wedge in just about every aspect of our life. From spiritual separation to dealing your career choices, “if it costs me my hard earned MONEY I don’t want anything to do with it.” Yet we spend more money on our cars, make-up, and toys than we do on our education?

It’s time you invest in yourself and your future. I get it. I’m in the business of selling, whether I want to be or not. But I’m selling an education to a potential student. Education is NOT a commodity. Education is not something that can be “the cheapest bidder wins”. If you’re focused on the money and how cheap it is compared to the “other school” that’s a problem. This is literally a, “you get what you pay for” scenario.

Our school provides superior education. We are the BEST in the area for what we teach. Should we be the cheapest? Do you WANT cut rate education for you personal career investment? Bottom line is, you don’t buy a Mercedes Benz at Kia prices.

That being said, at our school all student tuition is the same. But the plan to pay for that tuition is different. You can find out all the information you need to know on our website at wcofcc.com/massageschool or by calling our Acting Director, Robyn, at 484.341.8598.

We have very creative ways to afford school. If you think finances are a barrier to you experiencing the career that you deserve, give us a call. I think you’ll be surprised at the options available to you. We have so many students from all different walks of life, some of which can barely afford public transportation, that we help afford schooling on a regular basis. If you’re letting finances become an excuse that stops you from getting to the career you deserve, you’re cheating yourself and your potential. Having a job that your hate is NOT OK, and not something you should just be “dealing with” because it might cost you something to change it. Stop. Money should NOT be a barrier to your career investment choices! We will work with you, and find ways to get you the education you need to launch the career you desire.

Finding your why: Foundation. Motivation. Action.

Your foundation for any decision in life is rooted in things you have in your heart. These are your fundamental wants, your essential needs, the desires of your heart, your expectations of yourself, etc. When it comes to your career, what is your foundation?

What are your fundamental wants that you no longer enjoy because your career is stopping you? Maybe you want to play baseball this year, maybe you want to run a 5K, maybe you want to coach little league soccer for your daughter? Is lack of time getting in the way? Is your career stopping you from enjoying your family? More importantly… is that OK?

How about your essential needs? Does your financial situation stop you from being able to provide for your family? Are finances limiting your ability to make progress? How much more would you show up at work if you knew you would ENJOY being there? Would you perform better? Would you have more patience with clients or co-workers? Would you be more passionate and successful? Or what about essential needs around the house like having enough time and freedom to start cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, fixing things, building things, etc.? How much is this career really costing you? In time, in money, in resources…? How much does your current job affect your needs?

What about one layer deeper, to your heart’s desires? Why do we allow our job to stop us from playing with our kids? Why do we allow our job to stop us from enjoying an activity we’ve loved our entire life? Is this really OK? Have we really NO answer to something that can affect our lives so drastically?

You deserve to go hiking when you want to, you deserve to go on vacation, you deserve to play sports, go skiing, and run around with your kids on a Saturday. You really allow your job to stop you from sitting in the bleachers and watch your kids championship basketball game? Enough is enough! You don’t have make these sacrifices anymore, and especially for a job that’s taking the desires of your heart away from you.

What do you expect of yourself? Did you ever expect that at your age you’d be in the financial situation you’re in? Did you ever expect you’d be doing what you’re doing in your current career? What did you think you would be doing right now? What do you think you CAN be doing right now? Don’t cut yourself short, sell out to your boss, or give in to your “situation” because of fear.

You CAN do what you want, you CAN have wants, and needs, and desires. You simply need to expect better. Expect better from your educators, expect better from your support systems, expect better from your capacity, and ultimately expect better of yourself. You can do this, and I can help.

I’d love to change your life. You just need to call our admissions office so that I can. I hope to hear from you soon at (484) 341-8598.

Whether you believe it or not, the REALITY is there’s a solution to your problem. Don’t quit on yourself, your family, your job, your hobbies, your ability! You can radically transform your life in a few short weeks. What’s that worth to you? Probably worth a lot more than what you’re current career is costing you. The cost of changing your career is going to be a small fraction of what you’re willing to spend to change your life. What’s stopping you? Time? Really? You don’t have time to change your life? You don’t have a few short weeks to make the most meaningful decision you’ll make on your career? This job situation means a lot and it’s impacting your life. That is not OK.

Are you ready to change your life

Dissatisfaction is a terrible motivator. We’ve talked about the foundations affected by your career. I hope that you’ve set some goals for yourself and for how you think about your future. Dissatisfaction alone is not enough, because ultimately you’ll decide to “just deal with it”, and that’s not OK.

Maybe you paid attention and you’ve identified some goals for yourself. Are you ready to work towards the goals you’ve set? Are you ready to stop making excuses? Are you ready to say, “Enough’s enough,” “I do want to spend time with my kids, I do want to go on vacations, I do want to have enough time to play baseball again, I do want to sit in the bleachers at my kids’ game, I do want to feel better!”

Do you have a why? Have you clarified WHY you want to become a Massage Therapist? Of course you can deal with your boss right now… but should you have to? I don’t work with students who are not willing to define their why. This might sound harsh but it’s a reality that needs to be addressed. I can provide you with education all day long. But if you are not willing to engage in our classroom sessions, do the work, events, reading, put the work in at home… your simply NOT going to create the long term career results you’re expecting.

The career solutions I provide in the office are foundations. You will know more, but you'll be limited until you start participating in your own career choices. You need to find your why, find your motivation, find what’s going to make you WANT to get better. Once you identify your why, we can get to work on the how. I am an expert in the “How” of becoming a successful healthcare provider. It’s what I do, day in and day out, with REALLY good results. It’s amazing what we can do to change someone’s life.

But the long term career results happen when the student finds their “Why” and uses it as motivation to engage in their education. I’d love to get started with you. Find your why, and call our admissions desk. When you are clear on your why, the HOW SHOWS UP! Let’s do this.

Change your career, change your life: Are you ready for change?

Imagine a life where you were not limited by your job any longer. Where you could go anywhere, do anything, experience any activity… What would you do? Where would you go? How would you take advantage of controlling your schedule? I want to offer you a solution to your time problem that you’ve never seen before.

If you have a problem with your job, I am dedicated to solving that problem with an implemented solution. I think you’ll find that our school’s approach approach is very different from any of the schools you’ve seen before. You’re not coming to our school to see a teacher, or enroll in a program. You’re coming to our school to get help. To change your life. To change your career. And I can help.

Do you have a career problem? Does it need a solution? Attend a school that is not going to give you what every other “program” is going to provide. Come visit our campus and experience the difference it makes when someone cares about YOU and YOUR individual education. It takes time, it takes effort, it takes research and dedication. But there is a SOLUTION to improving your career choices. And I will find it.

Are you ready to solve your career problem? Still waiting for that call... (484) 341-8598

We help individuals solve their career problems, that’s been made clear. Do you need to work smarter, not harder? Well what’s not allowing you to work smarter... let’s fix it. Do you have stress at work? Well what’s causing your stress at work... let’s fix it. Do you have a problem with your finances and you just can’t make ends meet? Well what’s causing the problem... let’s fix it. If you have a problem, there is a cause. If there is a cause, there is a solution. Let’s find it, let’s fix it! TODAY

Are you dissatisfied?

Sometimes students come in and tell us that they have no career issues. They love their job! We take this at face value and proceed with an admissions interview to try and offer Massage Therapy as an adjunct to their current career. Maybe this person doesn’t want to change careers. Very common, and a wise decision by the potential student to make some extra cash on the weekends.

However, more often than not, we proceed through our interview and find some dissatisfaction along the way. “Well, I thought you said you loved your job?” “Oh, yeah, well my boss is just a jerk, it’s just some verbal abuse, He’s been that way for years.” “Really? You’re boss has been a jerk to you for years? How many years?” “Well, I’ve worked there most of my life, gotta be going on about 10 years probably… but he’s not that bad.” “Really? So you’re telling me, you’ve had a boss verbally abusing and taking advantage of your time for over 10 years? And you’re OK with this?”

“...Yeah…”

Do you see the problem here? We become so complacent with our jobs that we don’t even recognize there is a problem anymore. We let people abuse us and then go home and take it out on our family. How fair is that? If I probed this potential student a little more I GUARANTEE you this job is affecting their family, their time, their stress, their happiness, etc. This person 9 times out of 10 wishes they could change it, but can’t, because they’ve become complacent. Or just accept their situation. Or make excuses for their work. Or whatever.

We accept situations as our new normal and we accept that we won’t be able to do anything about it. I got news for you! You CAN. and you WILL. The first step is recognizing that you have a problem that is limiting you, and it’s your job. Realize you have options available, and want to make a change.

Have you realized you have a problem yet? I’d love to solve it for you. You deserve a solution.

What’s your tomorrow look like

Having a destination is important. More important than you think. It allows us to put together a timeline, goals, celebrate small steps and milestones, etc. But your goals are much different than mine. And your goals and much more important than mine.

We have a student centered education model at our school. Every student’s education is developed around their individual goals, needs, and expectations. To better serve you, I’d like to understand your goals, your needs, your expectations and desires for your career before developing a plan that you simply may not want or need. We do this during our admissions interview. you can schedule one now by calling (484) 341-8598 or visiting wcofcc.com/massageschool.

Listen, at the end of the day, our school and staff is more interestED than interestING. We all have a genuine care for you, your well being, and your career! This is not about some new fancy books, or some new fancy approach, or some new fancy gadget, or anything really about me or the education our school provides, or how great we are as a educators. Yes, we have all that stuff, we have all the tools necessary to help you, we have all the staff necessary to help you, we have all the education and certifications and degrees and yadda yadda yadda…

It doesn’t matter. What matters is YOU. What do YOU want… and how can I provide that for YOU. I hope you’ll allow us to serve you some day.

If you haven’t figured it by now, or maybe you missed our mission statement, but I am a Christian educator. I serve you because I serve the Lord. He has blessed me with the knowledge and skills to be able to educate and equip His children. I thank God every day for the gifts He has given me and the opportunity He has provided our school. I serve you because He wants me to serve you. I love you because He wants me to love you. I care about your education and career because He cares about your education and career. Let’s work together, pray together, solve your career goals together. I am a servant of the Lord, which makes me a servant of the people. God bless you. I can’t wait to meet you.

Clearly, a gap should be surfacing as you’ve begun to realize certain things.

I hope by now you’ve accepted that you have a job problem. Not only that, but that this problem is not OK, it’s affecting you and your family, you shouldn’t have to “accept” it, and it’s not where you want to be for the rest of your life. Your job is affecting your life in a negative way. There are things you wish you could do, places you wish you could travel, activities you wish you could engage in, hobbies you’d like to take up again, etc, etc, etc. Your job is preventing you from reaching a place where you feel comfortable enjoying life without stress, anxiety, worry, horrible bosses, and possibly even financial hardship.

Since you are currently in a job you don’t want, which is affecting your life in a negative way, and you’d like to not have this problem so that you can have the freedom to live your life the way you want, there is clearly a GAP from where you are.... To where you want to be. I can bridge that gap for you!So, the gap from where you are, to where you need to be, requires a NEED to bridge that gap. This is a HUGE gift. I’m sure you’ve RARELY felt understood in your job or career choices. You’re spouse thinks your making the wrong decisions, your kids don’t understand you’re trying yo provide, your friends and family either don’t care or don’t get how passionate you are. People are so focused on themselves they can’t focus on others.

I’m here... genuinely saying to you, “Tell me!, And tell me more? What’s this like for you? How long has your job been an issue? How’s that affecting you or impacting you? What do you WANT it to be like? Tell me your dreams. Tell me your desires. What do you want to see change in your life? What would that mean for you? What would you do with it? What trips would you take? What activities would you do? What things would you do with your family again? What would it feel like to be in a career you LOVE and ENJOY?

For the first time ever you are being understood in degrees you’ve never felt before. WHY? Because I am CARING for you. I want to ask good questions, listen to you, lead you down a path of being successful, build your trust, offer you solutions, and LAUNCH YOUR CAREER once and for all. All you need to do is REALIZE there is a gap, feel understood, hopefully TRUST me by now, and be willing to listen to the solutions we can provide you with excitement and curiosity. Are you ready to start your career? Are you EXCITED about it? You should be!

It’s a true blessing that we’ve been able to connect and I hope that we get to meet soon to talk about your career options.

Be committed to yourself

Are you at a point where you’re committed to change? Are you committed to taking action on your career? Are you willing to take action? To cross the bridge from where you are to where you want to be?If you’ve answered yes to ANY of these questions here is the REAL question….

What prompts you to say that? Why are you committed to change? When you have an answer, call me, at (484) 341-8598 or visit wcofcc.com/massageschool.
