What Our Graduates Have to Say

My favorite teacher was David. It was his passion and ease with which he taught. To me it seemed as if his crafts were just such a part of who he is. He made class fun and for me, wanting to know more, wanting to push myself further, wanting to understand the mystery of the human body and how it works.

Helen is truly the heart and soul of Healing Spirits. She is continually evolving as a woman.  Her vulnerability allows for that in her students. Although she has very professional boundaries, she creates the space for a deep knowing that we as students, are too, through our work, helping to bring more heart, more balance into the world.

Helen takes great lengths to integrate the student's knowing on all levels:  mind, body and spirit.  Helen truly believes that you are only as good of a healer as you are, yourself, healed. Much emphasis is placed on personal growth and change.  Healing Spirits therefore turns out exceptional practitioners, unique to their own self and form, practicing from the heart and hands, rather than the head. This is not a school for the follower, it's a school for the leader that emphasizes individuality and depth.

I would recommend Healing Spirits because of the close knit community - both class and alumni. The small class size and one on one attention (no question goes unanswered). The high level of expertise and passion of the instructors. The amazing quality of therapists who graduate. I always know that getting a massage from a Healing Spirits grad is going to include a heartfelt, nurturing experience with a quality of touch that is hard to come by elsewhere.
