About California Healing Arts College
The Massage School Experience
Our Mission
California Healing Arts College was founded in 1988 by Dr. Paul Schwinghamer, a chiropractor and educator devoted to the healing arts and to expanding the general public’s awareness of therapeutic massage. In 1999, the school was listed in the popular book “Massage for Dummies” as one of the top ten schools in the United States for studying Massage Therapy.
Our philosophy at California Healing Arts College is that learning is an enjoyable and mentally stimulating process where students and teachers work closely together and benefit alike. Our purpose is to promote Massage as a non-invasive healing art in its own right and as a needed adjunct to present forms of medicine, chiropractic, and acupuncture. Our focus is both scientific and intuitive, blending Eastern and Western thought with the practical consideration of gaining employment upon graduation. California Healing Arts College is dedicated to graduating highly qualified massage therapists, able to:
- Administer the art and science of Massage with confidence and quality
- Show respect and care for clients
- Derive satisfaction and respect from practicing the art of Massage
- Exude professionalism to the general public
- Educate others about the healing benefits of Massage Therapy
