Healing Hands School Of Holistic Health

If looking to enrich ones knowledge or become a massage therapist, This school is amazing! It’s life changing. Taking an individual class or signing up for the programs they offer, you will love each minute spent there and want to take more. The teachers knowledge is infectious and they are incredible, knowledgable and helpful. I will continue to take ongoing classes even after I graduate. Thankful to have found this school!

Healing Hands has a number of great classes taught by knowledgeable instructors. This school offers lots of opportunities to learn a variety of modalities in a safe, comfortable and supportive learning environment. No matter what you are interested in you should check this school out.

I’m am such a better person now and it’s thanks to the safe environment, inspiring teachers and life long friendships that were all facilitated by Healing Hands.
I started my 1000 hours for the holistic health practitioner program in July of 2011 and went full time. I completed it in June of 2012. You can go at your own pace though and they have a lot of class available on nights and weekends. I still attend cases, and hhp graduates get a special rate on classes so they are very affordable and that is a great perk!
The teachers are all experts in what they teach. I never meet one that I didn’t respect. They are all smart, helpful, inspirational and very friendly! The owners are super cool and kind. The girls at the front desk are awesome. Basically, it’s one of the most beautiful groups of people you can meet.
The classroom was recently redecorated and everything looks great! It got fresh paint in soothing colors, new earthy green carpet, plants, and everything is organized. I was very impressed when I saw it!
I highly recommend this school! Go with an open mind and open heart, and you’ll get way more than you could ever imagine in return.

Hands down best school for hands on bodywork!

I’ve only taken one class from Healing Hands: the introductory massage tech class. The class covers the essentials of Swedish massage, proper body mechanics and basic anatomy. I enrolled so I could get a better idea of what being a professional massage therapist would be like and so I could learn the basics of massage so I can share with others.
The class was great, you spend time learning and practicing and at the end of the class (this is also your final test) you will have no problem giving a 60 minute full body Swedish massage. Some things to conside: its not your traditional classroom environment. Class is held in an upstairs office building in a small commercial industrial building in Laguna. The lectures are done informally with students and teachers sitting on the floor in a circle. Most of your time is spent practicing massage on your classmates or receiving them. You really should be comfortable with working closely with other people of all types and ages — otherwise massage is probably not the right profession for you.
It can be expensive but compare that with other programs and I think the cost is worth it. If you want to do the HHP program with federal student aid, you need to complete it in a year which can make things tricky.
If you want to talk to the students before you enroll or if you simply need a low cost massage, you can book massages with the students on campus for a low cost.
Hopefully, I’ll be back to take more classes soon!

I graduated the HHP program a handful of years back and I am now very successful in the massage therapy world. I owe a lot of it the personal attention, the focus on body mechanics and the hands on way of teaching. Ive talked to lots of therapist from other schools and many haven’t been able to sustain their practice since a lot of other schools dont have the same focus. I would recommend this school to everyone possible, the knowledge Ive gained from the teaches and experiences is valuable.

Beware!!!
The owner of this school is not ethical and is all about the money. I am a single mother and could only afford to go to this school because of Financial Aid funds. The school does not work with single parents at all or should I say the owner of the school does not care that you have to take time off to take care of your kids. I was kicked out of the program not because I had bad grades, I was a A student, but because of hours I had to make up. I could not afford to make up the hours because they would charge you again at $ 9.50 and hour to make up hours so you basically were being charged twice.
The owner of the school Neha, pretends that he is this spiritual person that is so compassionate and understanding but he’s really a ego maniac that does not care about his students welfare and does not work with their situations unless they are cash paying students. If you are a Financial Aid student please look at the program completion statistics on the FASFA Federal Government Website. Only 10% of their students actually completes the program! Which is basically setting students up that are struggling financially to fail.
Most of the students complain about the policy’s that this school has. I am looking into a law suit due to the unethical practices and rules that the owner of this school has been practicing. There are no checks and balances what the owner says goes and nobody else can talk to him because he thinks himself as a God.
I also took around 350 hours and they charged my financial Aid for 500 hours which is education fraud.
The faciltiy in Laguna hills is just a room with one bathroom. Most of the time their are over 30 students in there and have to wait to go to the bathroom. The bathroom most of the time is not stocked with paper towels and they encourage the students to use the hand towels that everyone uses so if one person gets sick everyone gets ill. The carpet has stains all over it and is not clean. They have all the students sitting on the floor most of the time which is disgusting and unsanitary.
Look into other schools or you may regret that you did not.

This is a great school. It’s a bit hippie like in that we sat in a circle on the floor to have lecture, but I really appreciated the laid back way that they informatively taught you the necessary skills to become a great massage therapist.
You can start with 100 hours of swedish and move into 500 hour or even the Holistic Health Practioner 1000 hour program if you are serious about make a career out of the body work profession. I’m really glad I decided to become an HHP.
Paula & Neha take personal pride in making their massage school a quality place to learn. They have some very knowledgeable teachers there. Plus back in the day, when I was looking for massage schools, they had some of the most reasonable rates around. I found out they also got involved with fasfa, which means potentially free financial assistance. What have you got to lose? Check them out!

I have always dabbled in massage. As a child I’d give my mom and sister scalp massages, I’d walk on my dad’s and brother’s backs, and as an adult I always seemed to have a healing touch with those close to me. So I finally thought I’d give it a whirl and see if it was something I could do for a living… this school was the perfect fit.
Very very very laid back environment. The educators are there because they truly believe in the healing arts of massage. The curriculem is based on making sure that you as a practitioner of massage stay healthy by following the correct form. You learn Tai Chi, anatomy, and then you learn about laying hands upon someone’s body with respect, lack of judgment, and with the sole intent to heal with relaxation, muscle release, breathing, and energy.
It was a beautiful learning experience and I highly recommend this school to anyone who may be interested in learning about massage.
