Accreditation

Arizona Holistic Institute of Healing Arts is a nationally accredited institution. This means that you will be enrolling in a school that has gone through a thorough evaluation process to ensure high educational standards. Achieving and maintaining accreditation is challenging, as the rules and regulations are strict, specific, and aimed at safeguarding students’ interests. Being accredited also means that our school is approved by the U.S. Department of Education to provide federal financial assistance to those who are eligible.

​

Holistic Healing Approach

Our Professional Massage Therapy program aligns with a holistic approach to health, emphasizing natural, non-invasive methods for healing and relaxation, which appeals to those interested in alternative or complementary medicine.

​

Hands-On Training

Many students prefer the hands-on, practical nature of massage therapy education, where they can develop their skills through direct application and immediate feedback. Our curricula includes a substantial amount of time devoted to practicum and clinic hours, thus ensuring that you will have built your confidence to perform various types of massage modalities and are employment-ready upon completion of the program and receiving AZ licensure.

​

Class Schedule Options

Arizona Holistic Institute of Healing Arts offers three different schedules to suit your other important commitments — work, family, and hobbies. You may choose a full-time option which will allow you to complete the training in under 7 months. Alternatively, you can select a part-time day or evening class which will take about 12 months to complete. Part-time enrollment and hybrid education each offer flexibility beneficial particularly for student parents, who might have more complex schedules and responsibilities than non-parenting students.
