Founded in 1988 by local educator and practicing chiropractor Dr. Paul Schwinghamer, the California Healing Arts College offers a handful of specialized programs focusing mainly on the area of massage therapy. The school is located in the western portion of the city of Los Angeles, California, situated close to a variety of freeways and in the middle of a pleasant neighborhood with Santa Monica beach only a few minutes away by car.
The California Healing Arts College receives its accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology, and is furthermore given approval by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. The school is recognized by the US Department of Education, and the school is eligible to provide nurses with continuing education units (CEUs).
The California Healing Arts College has six different programs in the field of massage therapy available, constituting professional certifications that meet or exceed the professional requirements that practically all states have established by law for this field of practice. In ascending order, the programs are Massage Therapist –: Technician CN100, Practitioner CN150, Professional CN300, Advanced Professional CN500, Master CN650, and finally Advanced Master CN1000.
The Master CN650 program, one of the more popular at the school, introduces students to a variety of massage techniques and disciplines, such as deep tissue therapy, sports issues, oscillation, shiatsu, etc. Upon completion graduates are able to apply for taking the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Exam in Massage Therapy, considered the preeminent examination in the field of massage therapy.

The California Healing Arts College implements a completely open admissions policy, with enrollment being available to a wide variety of applicants. Basic requirements for consideration to be admitted include possessing a high school diploma or GED, or having passed an ATB (ability to benefit) test approved by the school and completed onsite; furthermore, during the personal interview which is necessary for admission the school must detect a strong commitment and interest on the applicant’s behalf towards the fields of health care and service.
The admissions process involves the following steps: interviewing with a staff member at the California Healing Arts College; touring the facility; signing the school’s enrollment agreement; forwarding all academic transcripts from any institutions attended, including college level studies (if applicable); and finally paying for the tuition or creating a payment plan with the institution.
It is important for non-native English speakers to prove their proficiency in the language prior to being accepted to study in one of the school’s programs, as the California Healing Arts College does not provide English education services.
Finally, admissions standards for a select few programs—particularly the Massage Therapist – Master CN650 program—may be more demanding as the number of vacancies is fewer and the entry expectations are higher.
Through the school’s provisional recognition by the US Department of Education, the California Healing Arts College is eligible for disbursing federal student financial aid. The school encourages students to submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form as early as possible to be considered, as many forms of federal aid are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Specifically, the California Healing Arts College (and hence its students) is entitled to participation in the following federal financial aid programs: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students, Federal Family Education Loans, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants.
The school has conventions for alternative loans with a handful of private organizations, including Sallie Mae and Educaid.

The student body at the California Healing Arts College is quite small (rarely exceeding more than 50 individuals). Students not only are instructed by experienced professionals in the massage therapy field, they furthermore get the opportunity to put the educational theories being learnt into practice: the school is itself an active massage center, and customers are regularly attended by the students, giving them the opportunity to apply their learning.
Student services at the California Healing Arts College include career counseling and placement as well as cost-defraying employment opportunities. Upon completion of their program, most graduates move on to work in professional spas, resorts, cruise ships, health clubs, and similar areas where their services will come in handy.
