our story

​In 2008, Vicki launched Oz School of Massage as a labor of love, initially intended to last for just one session. Her son expressed a strong desire to follow in her footsteps and pursue a career in massage therapy. While she planned to help him find a school nearby in Southern Idaho, he was determined to learn from Vicki, persuading her to develop a curriculum that met the National Certified Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) criteria.

 

Vicki's first class graduated in 2009 with five students, and soon, more prospective students sought enrollment. To balance her full massage practice and teaching responsibilities, Vicki created a unique model allowing students to continue their careers while training in massage therapy, meeting one day a week with a few practicum evenings over 18 months. In 2015, as interest grew from students farther away, the school transitioned to a 3-4 days per month intensive model, maintaining a focus on life balance, small class sizes, and hands-on learning.

 

In 2014, Vicki met Maria Kilgo, whose extensive teaching experience and passion for massage made her an excellent addition to the program. Their complementary skills and shared dedication to students have evolved into a lasting business partnership. The school’s name, inspired by Vicki's massage business Oz Massage, which ties into her last name, Lozier, and reflects the symbolism of "The Wizard of Oz," including the rainbow for the chakras, the four characters representing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies, and the yellow brick road as a metaphor for life’s journey. This deeper symbolism has added meaning to our work, enhancing our mission to help students achieve balance and pursue their dreams.
