The Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) Program is designed to provide an in-depth, well-rounded education in eastern and/or western hands-on bodywork, experiential learning, and somatic awareness from a mind/body/spirit approach that prepares graduates for a professional and effective practice. The program teaches several different hands-on techniques, a strong focus on professional and successful business practices, anatomy, physiology and pathology, strong communication skills, and an introduction to research. The HHP programs consists of 84.75 credits (1,005 hours of instruction time) and meets the local city and county of San Diego requirements as well as the voluntary certification program for the state of California to become a licensed Massage Therapist and qualifies students to sit for the National Certification Exam by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB).
In the HHP program, students begin study in a specialized area of bodywork. The required courses shape communication with clients, develop an analytical method of observing body language, view body structure, and create effective somatic vocabulary. This upper level massage training grooms the student as a true professional prepared for a wide variety of practice, competent in one or more specialty areas, and able to contribute in a variety of massage settings including clinics, spas and private practice. Many major categories of bodywork are presented along with a selection of specialized certificate courses. Students should anticipate approximately two hours of out-of-class work for each hour of instruction time
