Students

“The Northeast community is extremely welcoming and inclusive. My fellow students are constantly trying to help individuals in trimesters above and below them.”

My Story

Being able to start learning how to adjust in our second trimester gave me more time to feel confident in my abilities as a clinician to recognize dysfunction in the spine and as an adjustor.

Motivation is around every corner (at Northeast).

I love the environment of this college: the people, the professors, everyone pushing each other [to succeed]. No one wants to see anyone fail and that is a huge thing.

Alumni

“We are constantly listening to feedback and addressing any questions or concerns students have to help bridge the gap between graduation and working in Canada.”

My Story

The rigorous and balanced curriculum and continuous encouragement from professors (at Northeast College) instilled endless awe and possibility in me.

“Find what you are passionate about. And where your passion is, focus your energy there and everything will come together.”

The reward of practice comes with never using the word ‘job’ or ‘work'. I am treating patients, educating patients and practicing my art, and how many people get to say that they never go to ‘work’?

I will take what I learn from this program and use it in my role as a chiropractor. I am hoping to take both degrees and combine what I have learned from each.

Faculty & Staff

My Story

Sports massage continues to be a growing reason many patients are seeking massage care.

Everything done here is with the intent to make the Northeast College experience better for the students.

This is an exciting time for massage therapy. Our role in both wellness and healthcare is expanding; the time is perfect to start a new program that correlates with that expansion.

Even though the campus is beautiful, and the academic programs are first rate, for me it’s the people of the community that have made my time here so special.
