Southwest Institute of Healing Arts

I drove all the way from Pittsburgh PA to the school to learn hypnotherapy and coaching. At times it was challenging for my perception to adjust to taught classes and some classes I wish would be more practical, and I want to say, from the moment you open the door, you feel at home. All because there are so many awesome people work and teach here, and people you meet in classes are just simply so fun to spend time with. Lots of people I met were and are on their hero journey of healing and rising. The experiences, the people you meet make you grow, evolve and heal. I went to massage clinic and school of aesthetics for some discounted services. I mostly was served by students and I find that service would vary from person to person. Some massages were superb, some were good, they are students after all, learning their craft. In overall, I am satisfied with my choice of school and services I received.

Visited the book store/library today and I was impressed. Great selection, good books and very pleasant experience. Would definitely return, they had exactly what I was looking for! Great selection of smudging kits and goodies, diffusive oil, incense. Will definitely plan to return when looking for more.

It’s been a minute since I’ve received a massage and I’m not sure if the receptionist was having an off day but I went to schedule a massage minutes ago and due to her curt attitude, I’m just not interested in using their services anymore. The last time I scheduled and received a massage, it was friendlier and relaxing. I booked a student therapist and I literally would not have known that I was their first client! It was such a nice experience! Good luck!

Reiki Masters Divine Energy has been a life changing blessing of an experience and have created memories and reveiled things I will always charish and remember..I will be takimg them all thanks again see you soon

SWIHA is a college and a community unlike any other. This space is where people can come to create themselves, while they heal themselves and then launch a holistic practice that is the expression of the best of themselves. As a graduate, I can speak to the credibility of the programs, the training and what is possible for those who choose to do the work and change their lives!

After receiving a call back from the scheduler, about getting a massage, , I was astounded by the woman’s rude and nasty demeanor. Apparently, she knows nothing about phone ediquite and how important it is, in representing the school she works for!!

You have to come check out their massage therapy clinic inside. Its part of the school, where the students get their practice hours. You have to call & make an appt. Super professional. $35 for an hour. A couple weeks later, and Im STILL feeling the relief & positive effects of getting a massage here. Keep up the good work, you guys! Quality service, caring staff, and wonderful uplifting relaxing atmosphere.

I got my aesthetics license here and now that Im in the field Im 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!

I just had an amazing experience with Gail. Gail helped relieve a lot of the tension in my shoulders and neck and by the time I walked out, I no longer had the headache I had walked in with. She had a very pleasant demeanor and I felt comfortable communicating with her. My session with Gail was not only good for my body but also good for my soul! I look forward to scheduling with her again. Thank you so much Gail!As for the facility and office staff, everyone was pleasant and professional. Scheduling was very easy. I loved the fact that everything was very clean and covid conscious. Hand sanitizer was always readily available and the staff was constantly sanitizing. Mask regulations were in place and they had separate holders for sanitized pens and used pens. Thank you for a wonderful, worry free experience!

Great place to learn about healing arts & make connections! In regards to the clinics I think what some dont 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 doesnt 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.

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- youll get hooked. Youll take one class and before you know it, youll have signed up for 72 more! Its addicting in the best way possible. The teachers are excellent, the environment is unlike anything youll experience anywhere else (community support kind of feel/big family), and its an experience youll take with you for the rest of your life.Also, the SWIHA massage clinic is AMAZING. Great prices, plus youre helping students practice crucial skills for their field of study. Its a true win-win. (For reference, they do have licensed therapists as well.)

I scheduled my appointment two days prior to the appointment being set at early noon for my birthday. The day of is going as planned and as I’m getting ready to get to my appointment I get a call an hour before said appointment that the technician had canceled the appointment. I was asked if I could reschedule for a whole week later but declined because I had scheduled an appointment on my birthday for a reason. If the school or the technician knew that they were unavailable I should have and would like to have been notified in the morning or much earlier than an hour before. This was extremely unprofessional.

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.

I had another fabulous massage today. The student, Adrian, was very professional and gave me a thorough massage, paying close attention to my tight areas and applying the perfect techniques to take care of them.

Wonderful school!!!💫Its all about the vibes!!!

BEST SCHOOL EVER!! Their holistic loving approach to all classes they offer, is simply amazing. I cannot get enough of this school! I keep coming back for more and love that you can audit most of your classes without paying again :-) WAHOO!!

I would recommend this school for anyone looking to heal! One stop shop for a career u love plus serves ur purpose and all the healing ur soul is craving. I will be ever grateful for KC MILLER 🙏

As an alumni of SWIHA, I cant 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 Spas, 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, CEs & 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!

Strange cust. serv. when booking appt. today 1/3/2023. Woman was laughing and talking to someone else when she picked up the phone. I waited on the line bc I was confused as to what was happening. Lets say my name is Teresa Gomez. After settling on a time and date, she asked me my first name. I reflexively said Teresa Gomez. She says, your first name is TeresaGomez. Or is that your first and last name. What??? Obviously thats a first and last name. Why is she being condescending. I told her to wait one minute while I get my cc. When I told her let me know when youre ready for the cc number, She says in a short rude manner, I HAVE to make a PROFILE for you. Sheesh, looking forward to a relaxing experience. But I have to go through weird customs. serv. first.

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 !!

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!

Students give excellent massages! Rates vary based on whether you get a teacher or a student and the modality they offer. Monthly events offer samplers for other homeopathic specialty services they teach and provide.

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.

Beautiful School of Massage and a GREAT place to get a massage from talented, skilled and dedicated students or Licensed Massage Therapists. Its peaceful and welcoming. And the Book Store is a must see.

This is the most healing place to take classes about healing. Walk through the doors and you can feel the good vibrations that embody this place. The selection of classes exceeds any other massage school. I am certain what you are looking for can be found here.

Had a great experience with Amber. She was so professional and had great skills doing my microdermabraision. I had a very relaxing session. I definitely reccomend Swina.

I am enrolled in there integrative health practitioner program on line and I have had nothing but a beautiful experience with staff there not only are they helpful in every way but they are also sincere about doing it!! They are Amazing people and only wish that some day I could actually able to meet each one in person

I am a student in the IHAP program. i love the school, i have had the best instructors and experience. The bookstore is small but does well the space. everyone is friendly and kind.

Beautiful experience, great student therapists as well as instructors. Super store with incense, books and candles. Art in hallways is for sale. Affordable experience!

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)

I attended Swiha in my 20’s, and the experience led to significant harm in my life. I wouldn’t recommend any vulnerable persons attend this school.

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 SWIHAs 4 hour preview option to see if that field is right for you.

This spot is the best spot to come get a massage in my opinion. Get the 5 package of 90 min licensed sessions deal and treat yourself real nice!.... A bunch of timez.. Feel some good vibez and dont forget to hit up the bookstore after to get you some nice tasty treats.Let me know how ot goes!!

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 ones heart, and the Head will follow. SWIHA is Not a College, it is An Energetic Vortex of Insight...Joanna Keeton xx

As a Veteran I cant 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! Its 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!

If you can take a class here, DO IT! This place changed my life and Im forever grateful for every experience I had while taking classes here :) I am now a Life Coach and I cant wait to help others get un-stuck! Message me!!

Store has great selection and staff is very friendly ! I bought some Purple Lotus products(1 day and 1 night face creams) that I love. The store is well worth the stop.

An excellent deep tissue massage by a well-trained student. Nice room, I lost my bearings to find the clinic part of the school.

★★★★★ 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?!?!

My last massage was with a student 10 times better than the instructor. Will be requesting him again.

Cant take it anymore. I get it.This place is a little student spa of calmness in the middle of Tempe.Awesome people kindness and beauty. What more could a gal want.

From out of town & enjoyed it immensely. Shannon met my needs because I have sciatica issues. Thanks, Shannon.

Taking the reiki II class this weekend, great covit awarness and clear indications of best practices and expectations.Would recommend the reiki program to anyone interested or looking for more information

Sat in the waiting room for 45 mins. I have two knots in my back, one available time that I had, super unsatisfied.by the time they noticed I was there, they apologized, but to late for my schedule, had to leave with these painful knots.

Amazing! They healed all my art. Thought my Bob Ross original was a loss due to water damage. Boy was I wrong! Thanks guys!

Best decision that I ever made! Im 6 months in to my Associates degree program. I love the evening about this school!

Omg SWIHA IS AMAZING!!!!! changed my whole life and made me the person I am today!!! You will NEVER regret going here....everything happens for a reason so if you are even THINKING about going here then something inside you is trying to tell you something...DO IT!!! I LOVE SWIHA!!!

Its an amazing institution, Im blessed to have the staff, instructors and fellow classmates on my journey with me, I am truly grateful for my time here.

SWIHA is a life changing experience which I highly recommend you take. If you found SWIHA you must get SWIHAd you will never be the same.

Im a student in the Mind Body Wellness Program and specialize on polarity/cranial therapy, aromatherapy and life coaching and all I have to say os thank you to my swiha teachers for helping me recognise my greatness
