On Friday, December 21st, The Healing Arts Center is honored to graduate 20 people from the Massage Therapy Training Program, and 21 from the Energy Medicine Master Track.  In recent years, HAC graduations have become substantially larger than in past years due to a substantial growth in enrollment in the school's Massage Therapy Training Program (MTTP) and the popularity of the school's advanced level training in the Master Tracks program.

    Friday, October 12, 2018, the Healing Arts Center will host the Red Robe Ceremony, honoring the achievement of 22 students who have completed the 600-hour, 52 week, massage therapy training program. Several students of this graduating class have achieved the highest honor at HAC, being inducted into the Order of Twin Hearts, HAC's Honor Society. In addition to the eight student inductees, HAC will also bestow this honor on an alumna, Deana Galloway.

    Massage Therapy offers many benefits for cancer patients.  It can greatly reduce the stress and anxiety that often arises from having cancer and can reduce or eliminate the pain of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.   Student therapists who participate in the clinic are among HAC's best, in fact, being chosen to participate in the HAC Free Cancer Clinic is considered honors status at graduation.  Being of service is part of the HAC mission and our students and graduates deliver care through Reiki and light-touch massage to clients who truly can use healing touch.  HAC has developed considerable expertise in restoring quality of life to cancer patients.

    This past Friday the Healing Arts Center graduated a group of outstanding students from the Massage Therapy Training Program.  Among them, one student stood out for his excellence.  Matthew Tarrillion received every award that the Healing Arts Center offers, plus a student scholarship from Massage Envy.

     The Healing Arts Center is proud to announce the newest inductees into The Order of Twin Hearts. Five students who have met the requirements to be eligible for this honor have been chosen. It is HAC’s highest acknowledgement of a student.  Order of Twin Hearts members embody the spirit of the Healing Arts Center in their being, their skills, and their passion for healing. Eligible students are nominated by faculty and also must meet minimum requirements for attendance.

    The Order of Twin Hearts (OTH) takes its name from the Meditation on Twin Hearts for World Peace originally taught by Pranic Healing Grand Master Choa Kok Sui.  Master Choa was one of the most important teachers of HAC Headmaster, Tom Tessereau.  Tom was a member of Master Choa's inner circle of disciples and it is the teaching on Twin Hearts that has become the foundation of the spirit of The Healing Arts Center.  The Twin Hearts meditation links the crown and heart chakras (the Twin Hearts) to draw down divine energy into a human being to empower compassion and healing on a global level.

     The Order of Twin Hearts is HAC's honor society.  Fittingly named after the Meditation on Twin Hearts for World Peace, The Order represents the highest acknowledgement that HAC gives to students.  Students are selected by the faculty for this honor and are considered to be those who best reflect the commitment to skill and compassion taught at The Healing Arts Center.  On December 15, 2017 in addition to five massage therapy students who will be inducted, we are proud to announce that six graduates from our first Advanced Energy Medicine Master Track will join this esteemed body of HAC alumni.

     On December 15, 2017, The Healing Arts Center will hold its second biggest graduation in history.  HAC is expected to graduate sixteen massage therapy training program (MTTP) students and twenty-three Advanced Energy Medicine Master Track students.  The faculty has selected five of the MTTP students to be inducted into the Order of Twin Hearts, HAC's elite honor society.   The Order takes its name from the Meditation on Twin Hearts for World Peace originally taught by Pranic Healing Grand Master Choa Kok Sui.
      Order of Twin Hearts inductees are nominated by the faculty.  Each faculty member is only given two votes.  Inductees must receive nominations from at least two faculty members.   Every inductee must have at least 90% original attendance for every class and clinic that they take throughout their education.  While the selection criteria is undefined, the faculty nominate students who best represent "the spirit of The Healing Arts Center" meaning that they exhibit compassionate practice of massage therapy and devotion to using their skills for healing. 
      "It takes your breath away to see The Order of Twin Hearts grow each level session with addition of amazing people.  They are the best of the best and we are very proud of them", said HAC president, Dave Kenyon.   "OTH members completely get what we are doing here and while their sense of service requires them to go last during the graduation ceremony, they will all step out front to lead this profession."   
     Congratulations to our newest Order members and to all our graduates.  We are very proud of you and take great solace in knowing that you will be stepping into the world to relieve suffering and promote well being.

On July 28th, 2017, The Healing Arts Center will graduate its largest class in school history.  Twenty-four will graduate from the Massage Therapy Training Program MTTP and twenty-three will graduate from the Certified Breathwork Facilitators Program for a total of forty-seven graduates.  By nearly every criterion one can imagine, this current class of graduates is outstanding.  The MTTP graduates graduating in this group posted the highest per-student original attendance scores ever.  They are energetic, compassionate and talented.   The Healing Arts Center could not be more proud of them.  Eight of them, however, require special acknowledgement for their excellence.
