What Our Graduates Have to Say

There is never an instance where an instructor is lecturing straight from a book or lesson plan.  Each of our instructors, especially our core instructors for Anatomy, Physiology, Nutrition, and Foundation Massage, are veterans in their field and speak more from years of experience and learning than from any textbook.

My two favorite teachers were David and Jeffery. It was their passion and ease with which they teach. To me it seemed as if their crafts were just such a part of who they are. They 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.

I have received ongoing support, as I know so many other grads have as well. Always recommendation letters, advice on challenging clients/pathologies, advice on interviewing (what is standard to ask for, what other pertinent questions to ask before accepting a job, even where to go for a possible job openings, etc) Grads call constantly needing advice, and they always get it. Also, yearly grads are asked to suggest the continuing ed classes they would like to see offered.
