My practice is doing better than I could have ever hoped for considering it hasn’t even been a year since I've been in business! I have anywhere from 12-20 sessions a week (at $100 per session) consistently and get an average of 3-5 new clients a week! The decision to go to SWIHA and take your class was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be, and I thank you, thank you, thank you - for all of the knowledge you've given me. I wouldn’t be here today without you.

I love SWIHA's hypnotherapy program! The first time I realized how lucky I was, I was taking a certification course in fertility at a conference in New Hampshire. I was shocked how many hypnotherapists didn't know some very basic concepts. I was also amazed at how little some even understand about how the subconscious works. When I tell people about my training, they can't believe how comprehensive and thorough it is!
I feel very lucky that I found you!

Before coming to SWIHA I was caught up in the corporate world, stressed and knowing that there was something more that I should be doing. I was making a great living but not feeling like I was living. I felt like a drone just going through the motions of life. I had been pulled to SWIHA for a couple years after running into people who had graduated and were on a spiritual quest.
I finally walked into SWIHA one day on a whim to get some information on becoming a Life Coach. Before my admissions advisor had finished speaking, I handed her my credit card and paid for the course in full right there on the spot! From day one, I felt like I had found what I was missing. So many learning opportunities opened up in all different areas of my life. Life took on new meaning: I found the ability to help others see their lives differently and guide others who were searching for something.
Today, I am very successful in life. In the past two years, I have helped dozens of people in their relationships and have read over 300 sets of toes! People constantly ask me my secret to living in bliss and always being happy. My answer is always the same....being in a place of gratitude and being on path! SWIHA & the wonderful staff and instructors helped me find my truths!

No words can say all that I feel in my heart for you and your institution. I have come to realize that Southwest Institute of Healing Arts is More than a school ~ it is a community, a home, a place of refuge. I am so blessed to have been one of the ones chosen and guided to enter the doors and remain. Your light shines so bright in many, many people's lives. There are times where I know a special blessing has come my way from the energy work you have done or are doing for me through your belief in Spirit. Thank you with all the energy of my heart, soul and mind.
I Love you....Blessings!

If you want to learn hypnosis, the best course in town is at SWIHA. You will learn "how to do it" effectively and safely with their hands on approach. You get plenty of practice with clients under expert supervision and come away from the course with Board certification to practice.

SWIHA is a school like no other! It allows us to connect with our soul & tap into our unique power so that we can empower others to do the same. Two of my greatest accomplishments were producing a series of CD's that I love selling because they help so many people and self-publishing my first book ~ Lose the Diet - Transform Your Body by Connecting with Your Soul. Some of the information and inspiration for both projects came from what I learned at SWIHA.

My experience as a full time student at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts has been incredibly profound, transformative and empowering. The program was comprehensive and complete in terms of overall personal, spiritual and professional development. The staff, the curriculum, the wide range of modalities and the post graduate support are unparalleled.
I graduated with an Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Mind-Body Transformational Psychology and the life skills and empowerment acquired have been invaluable and applicable in every area of my life. It is such a blessing to now share them profitably with others.
SWIHA is more than a school, it is a life changing experience!
Namaste~

I took the Life Coaching Course last summer. Quite often in my morning prayers as I walk the dogs, I give thanks to Richard Seaman and Linda Bennett at SWIHA. You are both two dynamic leaders in my life, who have made an impact in my life. Thanks for touching my life.
Keep up the good work and spreading the joy!
In gratitude,
Jodi

I kept putting SWIHA's Life Coaching class off because I wasn’t sure this was a direction that I needed to go in. Turns out the class did change my life and taught me a lot of things about myself and how to help others in recognizing their goals and dreams. My first coaching session was amazing and the client even told me that Coaching is my calling in life. Since then, I have used my coaching skills to support others in many situations including professional IT support and everyday life.
Thank you,
Bob Chamberlain

Words cannot express my gratitude to the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. When my Spirit called me to change careers, I set out on a journey of self discovery. This journey led me to SWIHA where I found a new home and a faculty and staff that felt like family. I had all but given up on finding a school that taught classes in a way that matched my learning style. The support and compassion I felt while progressing through my AOS Degree was amazing. The ability to learn so many diverse modalities as a part of my program and make a living practicing these modalities was a blessing.
I am now a life Coach, Hypnotherapist and a Yoga instructor with an AOS Degree in Mind-Body-Transformational Psychology. I am continuing my education in psychology through to a doctoral degree which would not have been possible without the help of this very unique learning opportunity at SWIHA. My heartfelt thanks to KC Miller and her amazing faculty and staff for helping me to share my talents with the world in a loving and profitable way.
Blessings,

I graduated from SWIHA in June of 2006. I wanted to say Thank You for everything that SWIHA has done for me. I took my associate's degree and just finished my bachelor's at Argosy. I start my master's in September! SWIHA and all the wonderful teachers/people (Carolyn and Linda) are a huge part of my success. I found myself at SWIHA and that allowed me to figure out what my mission is here. Your school not only gave me a future, it was the best two years of my life. Thank you so much!
Love and Light,

Well I don't even know where to begin... This program not only completely changed my life but gave me the tools to change the lives of many others. The beautiful thing about the Mind Body Wellness program is that as you progress through this program you are also evolving as a person. I came out of it with a whole new awareness of myself as well as others. In addition I now know what I can do is truly limitless.
If anyone has ever felt like there searching for something that they've been missing this is it. Throughout this whole experience what I found was myself and what it means to live your life based on Purpose.
