Reviews of Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (College)

Amanda DeJong

Enrolling at SWIHA was the best thing I have ever done! I waited to attend college because there was never an area of study that I truly wanted to pursue and I am so glad I did because when I finally came to SWIHA, I knew I had found exactly what I was looking for. The staff and teachers are incredible, knowledgable and genuinely want their students to succeed. The curriculum contained subjects that I resonated with, and am interested in and I learned so much through the entire process. I graduated in March 2014 with a degree in Mind-Body Transformational Psychology with a double major in Spiritual Studies as well as Clinical Hypnotherapy. I now own my own successful company and am proud to say that I am doing what I LOVE. My dreams have come true and I owe it to finding this wonderful school! I only wish they had a bachelor program.... :) (Thanks to all of the wonderful teachers that are too many to name but include Linda B. Kathy S, Cliff S. and many more)

★★★★★ 5 Star in way of schools; when u really are wanting an inner & outer education, but all coes down to "Are you willing to do th work; on & for yourself first?" If not, then chances are u will give this place a 1-2 Star Rating. By far is most intense program I have found yet! The only thing that can use a little help is coordinating schedules; but still 5 Stars since Heads realized the mistakes, apologized, corrected them, and waved my fees due to it all! So, may not be perfect but who is?!?!

Great environment from the front lobby, to the book store, to the restrooms and message rooms. The people are great and very helpful. Great deals on student massages in a lovely peaceful environment. You will never regret going here!

Scammers, beware especially if you are a veteran!

Amy P hands blessed me this afternoon! Felt like I had an outer body experience. Thank you for the amazing bodywork. That you SWIHA for having some of the best massage therapists in the Valley. I’m really thankful for this school. I love you guys.

Absolutely love everything about SWIHA. As a former graduate, I can tell you the information you learn will help you in all walks of life. I should warn you, though- you'll get hooked. You'll take one class and before you know it, you'll have signed up for 72 more! It's addicting in the best way possible. The teachers are excellent, the environment is unlike anything you'll experience anywhere else (community support kind of feel/big family), and it's an experience you'll take with you for the rest of your life. Also, the SWIHA massage clinic is AMAZING. Great prices, plus you're helping students practice crucial skills for their field of study. It's a true win-win. (For reference, they do have licensed therapists as well.)

I do not think I can quite describe my SWIHA experience. I attended SWIHA for my associates degree in Holistic Healthcare and it was the two best years of my life. I had never been in a better place to make me feel happy and understood by everyone. No one at this school that I meant was mean and everyone wants to help you. The instructors are great, at least in the programs I was in. I would recommend this school to anyone who wanted to be well educated about affordable and natural healthcare. Even if they did not want to do it for a living. I did see a review that said that they had problems with SWIHA but to this I must respond that it is not for everyone. It is a very relaxed environment where teachers allow you to learn at your own pace and their often is not a late paper penalty. As for lying about the jobs they make you sign a paper at admissions telling you that you are responsible for your own employment. Most of the jobs that SWIHA trains you for are the kind of jobs that you will need to open your own business for. And that is not for everyone. My suggestion is that everyone does their own research and takes advantage of SWIHA's 4 hour preview option to see if that field is right for you.

As a Veteran I can't imagine what Nicholas is referring to about 'scammers'. I visited SWIHA, then attended and completed the Mind, Body, Wellness 2 year program. I cannot begin to say what a trans-formative experience attending SWIHA has been for me! It's true, SWIHA may not be the place for you, but if you are serious about making change in your life and the lives of others then you owe it to yourself to check SWIHA out. The staff and faculty there are wonderful and really do care about your well-being on both a physical, emotional and spiritual level. SWIHA is not traditional schooling but that hardly changes the fact that what SWIHA offers is amazingly life changing. Big Blessings to KC Miller and her staff! In my heart always!

WORST MASSAGE ever... Ive never had a massage before that not only made me feel worse but I got a nose bleed. I do not recomend getting work done here...wasted time & money.

The Valley Group

I have had 3 massages now at SWIHA. All were excellent but Grace was exceptional. She puts so much positive energy into her treatment. I find myself breathing along with her and totally relaxing while getting the deep tissue massage my body needs. Her touch and technique are varied and include myofacial work which is an added benefit. I highly recommend Grace and the entire SWIHA staff.

I’m selling the textbooks on eBay 60-80% off or make an offer

Great price for a great massage!

Great place to learn about healing arts & make connections! In regards to the clinics I think what some don't understand is that there are various levels of training that you could be experiencing in addition to various levels of ability. The training is great but that doesn't mean that every individual is ready to be a successful massage therapist, hypnotherapist, life coach etc. It is a process for many & this is why the services are discounted or free. I hope this provides some insight about the 'services.' Again, the training & instructor here are amazing.

As an Alumni, a patron of the massage clinic, and a customer of the Healing Pages bookstore; I can Only say how Glorious this place Is. Stepping through the doors, I feel a Gentle yet Engulfing Hug from the entire Energy of SWIHA. I attended this College many years ago, and though teachers come & go, as their lives dictate; I Always find New inspiration and Renewed Knowing here. To truly Be here and to Truly study here requires a Willingness to Open one's heart, and the Head will follow. SWIHA is Not a College, it is An Energetic Vortex of Insight... Joanna Keeton xx

I am a student in the mind body wellness program best school best staff best ppl ever <3

Tai Marie

I got my aesthetics license here and now that I'm in the field I'm extremely grateful for the wide variety of knowledge that was given to me from this amazing school! As I compare my teachings to others from different schools I can say this is the best aesthetics school by far! This place will always have a found memory and although I have moved to California I would love to come back and visit one day!

Ronna Faith Ambrosino

As an alumni of SWIHA, I can't say enough great things about my experience there! I graduated with a Massage Therapy Diploma, and Life Coaching Certificate. I also received a variety of education from Energy Work to Yoga! It was the most rewarding thing I have ever done for myself. Since then, I have worked for two leading Spa's, done Mobile massage for a year, and I am about to celebrate my one year anniversary, in my very own Spa! In my practice, I provide both Massage & Life Coaching to my clients, and I use Yoga, to maintain my body. SWIHA is great at blending total Wellbeing! My manta now is "Mind body Spirit balance", which is what I received at this Wonderful school for my personal life & education. The staff is very welcoming, compassionate, and wants you to succeeded. This is no ordinary school! It will become like your family, and you will make "life long friends" at this school. Most students have a hard time leaving after graduation, so some add dual education or certificates, and most come back for Special Events, CE's & FREE audits!!! I highly recommend this school, if you are searching for more than a career, but a place to grow, learn, expand & feel supported. If you choose to attend here, it is because it is your "calling", and you will become part of the SWIHA tribe!

SWIHA is an awesome place to get massages. I enjoy the licensed therapists the best! There are excellent special packages throughout the year and I love the well trained and kind people that work there! They help rejuvenate your body & mind with their massages. My favorites are Peter, Tammy, and Amy. Thanks SWIHA !!

Roland DeVenecia
