HAC Appoints Brittney Atkinson To Be Director of Admissions

The Healing Arts Center bids a fond and loving farewell to Rocela Ginther as she becomes the Assistant Director of MBA Recruitment at the Olin School of Business at Washington University.

Rocela Ginther joins the recruitment staff at Washington University's business school.
     Over the past three  years, no one has entered the student body at The Healing Arts Center without the help and encouragement of Rocela Ginther.  Not only has she been part of a management team that has increased enrollment at HAC by nearly 31% since 2014, she has greeted prospective students with openness and ease, allowing them to find an educational path that fits them.  The Healing Arts Center does not "sell" its education.  Because its unique and highly transformative program requires students to be ready and willing to learn and change, it is important that students find and choose HAC rather than the other way around.  The school has a long standing policy of refraining from talking prospective students into enrollment.  Rocela is well known among our students for giving them the space and the encouragement that they needed to choose and begin a life-changing journey.

Why Lymphatic Massage Should Be Part of Every Massage Therapists' Skill Set

3/23/2018

Comments

 
by Terrie Yardley-Nohr, LMT
    Our lymphatic system works very quietly to keep our bodies healthy and maintaining homeostasis.  In a perfect world of health, all goes well.  But with all of the toxins and diseases that can affect us everyday, our bodies can easily break down or become ill.  Lymphatic massage can help our bodies function better.

The nominations are in, and four students are recognized for embodying the ideals of the Healing Arts Center.

     On March 16th, 2018 the Healing Arts Center will host the Red Robe Ceremony and present graduation certificates to students who have recently completed the school's Massage Therapy Training Program (MTTP). 
The inductees for Winter, 2018 are:
  • Robin Hahn
  • Diana King
  • Kacper Szarejko
  • Jennifer Tracy
    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.

HAC Announces Pro Tracks: Intensive Courses For Massage Therapy Skill Building

2/14/2018

Comments

 

Three Weekends A Year, Three Related Topics, One Comprehensive Skill Set

Picture
     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.

HAC's Main Classroom Renamed "Ocean of Reiki" Room

For Most HAC Students, The Journey Begins and Ends In the Ocean of Reiki Room

     Five years ago, The Healing Arts Center relocated from its former location on Big Bend Boulevard in Maplewood to its current location on Manchester Avenue in Warson Woods.  At one time the old location had been a house and had a very homey feel to it, but the property owner sold critical parking space to the City of Maplewood and the building could no longer be used as a school.  The new location is centrally located and, while not in the most picturesque building ever seen, has two very important features - it is very quiet and there is plenty of parking.
    In preparing the space for the school a great deal of purification work had to be done.   Flaming salt bowls were lit.  Reiki blessings and Pranic Healing purifications were made.  The space had last been used by Missouri College before that school moved to the Hanley Road location that closed last year.  Now it was time for The Healing Arts Center to make the space its own.

This Week: The Hamstrings and Quadriceps Femoris, The Group of Three and the Group of Four

is a senior faculty member at The Healing Arts Center in St. Louis, Missouri and at Southwest Illinois College in Belleville, Illinois.  He teaches anatomy and physiology in the massage therapy program at HAC.  He has helped train more licensed massage therapists in the region than probably anyone.   "Dr. Dan" ,  as his students call  him, is known for breaking down the hard science of anatomy and physiology into easy to understand, often humorous presentations to make this essential science memorable.


     The English-speaking world calls them the "hamstrings".  I refer to them as Biceps Femoris and the Semi Sisters.  They work against the muscle group most commonly known as the quadriceps.  I teach them as Rectus Femoris and the Vastus Brothers.  Together they are the seven muscles that are most responsible for the movements of the knee.  More importantly (since we stand, walk, run, and jump), they are the seven muscles most responsible for fixating the knee and preventing falling due to knee instability.  Let’s break them down.

From Top Left: Brittney Atkinson, Andrea Burrows, Michael LeVart, Brian Patterson, Nicole Wallen.
     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.
