This course of study is intended to accelerate the student’s spiritual progress at a rapid pace.  Students have the opportunity to develop their technical skills in healing work while evolving their awareness.  This awareness gives students a way to assess their personal and professional direction while providing a foundation that gives them the tools to create a successful healing practice.

Reiki Master Teacher:

 

Courses offered during this program:

Reiki is an ancient healing energy that heals at the levels of body, mind and spirit, and intelligently seeks out and heals different areas in order of need.  Students will be taught how to provide hands-on treatments, as well as long-distance, healing through space and time, the subconscious mind to break addictive behavior patterns, clearing karma and healing for large groups.  Students will be taught Reiki from several traditions, including: Traditional Usui, Seichim, Tibetan and Independent tradition. The Reiki Master Teacher, upon completion of the course, will have an in-depth knowledge on the Reiki Keys, or Symbols, how to use them, and how to attune others with Reiki. The intensity of Reiki at this level also strongly opens up the student to deeper levels of self-healing and gives them momentum to bring healing to core issues.  Graduates will be able to teach their own Reiki classes as well as embark on their own Reiki practice.

 

 

Reflexology:

 

Courses offered during this program:

Reflexology Practitioner--100 hours

 

In this program, Reflexology is the study of how the human body can be balanced and harmonized through massage on the feet and hands.  At CAHA, we teach the Egyptian Method(TM), which is a painless form of Reflexology.  You will also learn components of emotional and other popular forms of Reflexology.  Instruction includes Anatomy and Physiology, sanitation, rules and regulations, hand and foot Reflexology, ethics, advertising, marketing and practical application.

 


Course Flow

We will base our curriculum on a trimester system. The Spring and Fall trimesters will work on a 630 hour basis, while the Summer trimester (accelerated) will last for 500 hours and we will encourage the students to take the additional 130 hours in the evenings, weekends, or during another trimester.

Our intention for the full-time students is to train them as a Massage Therapist in one trimester, as a Holistic Health Practitioner in one year, as a Certified Energywork Therapist in 630 hours and as a Certified Energywork Practitioner in one year. However, we recognize that our students will need continuing education so that they can gain the experience they need to be successful, so we help them find volunteer opportunities, and will give them opportunities to attend follow-up workshops.

Evening and weekend students will have a less rigorous schedule that will enable them to become a Massage Therapist or Certified Energywork Therapist in approximately one year, and Holistic Health Practitioner or Certified Energywork Practitioner in approximately two years, if they consistently take courses during that time.

Our courses are a synergistic combination of the elements of body, heart, mind and spirit.  There is a developmental flow where each course builds upon the next.  In our full-time classes, we bring our students through a block of classes as a cohesive group.  Students will be taking classes together all the way through a course of study (a trimester), with a few exceptions for people who need to make up classes or who want additional training.  Cohesiveness is an important bonding factor that creates safety, unity and an opportunity for deeper connection between the students and staff.

Wednesday mornings for some courses will be times where instructors meet with their students to take an assessment of their current progress; where guest speakers may give presentations; where other miscellaneous activities take place.  Fridays have a different schedule than the rest of the week.  Friday mornings are practicum sessions, and Friday afternoons are lecture and Mind-Body-Spirit sessions where the school joins in convocation.

We provide training in the holistic healing arts, but the journey we take together is the process of transformation grounded in mutual respect, love and connection with Spirit.
