Report
I graduated here in 2019 and I've taken my license to 3 states now. I didn't realize how good this school was until I started getting massages from LMT's that didn't graduate here. The education at CSHA was worth every penny. There were some 'woo woo' moments and students that made me wanna jump out the nearest window at times, but other than that it was a great 9 month experience

This school is a joke. Full of fakes and white western appropriation. Consider other options. They do not care about their students at all.

It has changed my life for the better. It gave me my purpose and calling in Life to heal others and help them deal with pain. Thank you Colorado school of healing arts.

I'm doing a fallow up on the Craniosacral program here. I did level 1 and 2 a year ago. I just finished the Upledger level one. So much more information behind all the holds. I also got corrected on some of the holds and movements of the cranial bones I learned Colorado school of healing arts. It now makes sense why I couldn't feel some of the movements. Upledger TA's had at least 10 years experience, and the instructor had been practicing since the 80s. To me comorado school of healing arts program is not worth the money. I am saying nothing against their other programs, for i do not know. But definetly look up the background of your instructor.
