These are the ONLY years a breathwork training of this magnitude has happened in St. Louis!

And it’s happening again beginning August 8, 2019 and we have revised and expanded the training to make it the best to date!

There are only a few spots remaining in the class and it will be maxed out soon.

     Carrie Burnett is up to big things.  Since graduating from The Healing Arts Center, she has started her own massage business, undertaken professional training towards receiving a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) certificate, is studying psychology at Webster University and has plans to pursue a doctorate in neuroscience.  She has a passionate belief that the power of touch is not understood by science or therefore utilized to its fullest extent and has every intention of changing that through her current practice and future research.

     The Healing Arts Center is launching a new series of workshops designed to provide advanced level training in a format that supports the working therapist.  The idea behind Pro Tracks is to broaden the therapeutic reach of massage therapists to expand client wellness services so as to reach a larger client base or improve employability at a higher wage rate. 
    The Healing Arts Center takes the view that massage therapists are underused in the arena of wellness and promoting health in our culture.  HAC does not teach pamper massage, but rather focuses its knowledge, experience and skill toward developing the massage therapist as a "first responder" in the quest for health and wellness.  For this reason our primary massage therapy training program is directed on pure healing modalities that alleviate stress and anxiety, treats acute and chronic pain at its source and provides the myriad of other benefits that therapeutic massage is known to provide.  In fact, "therapy" is the whole point of this healing art.

     Courtnae Smith, a 2015 graduate of the Healing Arts Center's Massage Therapy Training Program, recently published the children's book, "Baby's First Day."  The book is the first in a twelve-book series, "Milestone Babies," written by Courtnae and her partner Rob Davis.  The series will explore the developmental milestones of baby Seven's first year, loosely based on the authors' own lives with the newest member of their family.

 of Myofascial Release, one of the most useful massage modalities for injury recovery, scar rehabilitation and sports recovery.  Our students start clinical practice after their first term in school.  HAC is nothing if not a “learning by doing” school.  Our students will spend the better part of a year working on the public so that when they graduate they are as comfortable with clients as they are with their friends.  Like most massage therapists nation-wide, roughly 60% of our graduates will wind up running their own independent wellness practices.
And this is the new gold standard at HAC: comprehensive wellness practice.
