“ I have never questioned my decision to attend East West. What a gift it was to learn from experienced health professionals; all of whom taught with confidence, compassion, enthusiasm and skill. They brought "real-world" experiences and stories to the classroom.
My internship and employment with Dr.Zhou was most influential in how I practice today. I blossomed as a Therapist under his wing. I learned valuable lessons from client/patient interactions and customer service to time management and maintaining balance in this heart-centered business we are in.
Most importantly - I would do it all over again! I am grateful to be a part of East-West, as an Alumni and an Instructor.”

“ Attending East-West Healing Arts Institute was a life changing experience for me. I decided to pursue an interest in massage and Chinese Medicine somewhat on a whim, not knowing where it would lead, and I have developed a passion for bodywork and the healing that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine and the ancient philosophies behind it. I believe that the experience prompted much growth and cleansing in my own life, and it opened up doors so that now I am combining my business skills with my passion for the healing arts by owning a massage therapy business here in Madison. I think East-West offers a unique and transformational experience and I highly recommend it to anyone considering working in the field of massage therapy or bodywork, or who would just like to be transformed. Thank you, East-West and Dr. Zhou!”

“I'm so thankful for the education I received at East-West Healing Arts Institute. After learning about the Body, Mind, Spirit philosophy of East-West Healing Arts Institute, I knew this was the school for me. I'm so proud of the knowledge gained and excited about future opportunities available to me”.”

Feiyan Hagar, Group 19

“All instructors teach lunging and bodyweight to improve body mechanics during massage. Importantly, one of my supervisors told me to work with feeling. Eastern technique including Thai Massage, Zen Shiatsu, TuiNa and acupressure is most valuable to my work. I always tell people I do Chinese massage because this is unique practice in this area.”

Wei, Class of ‘04

“The school is wonderful. Dr. Zhou is the best. That’s why I came here. I wanted to learn the real technique. The students, the teachers, the courses – they are all so good. I don’t know what I like best. I like them all!”

Julie, Group 15

"We are on the edge of a new and exciting Health Care industry. Eastern and Western modalities in medicine and massage are beginning to merge and East-West Healing Arts Institute puts you right at the front."

Dr Galen Baker, Instructor

Dr. Baker is a chiropractor and a Diplomat of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Practitioners.
"Students who come here are looking for the ability to help people by using both Eastern and Western techniques, which is more challenging. So their willing to work harder. I try to make the classes interactive. When I teach skeletal insertion points of the muscles, it's hands-on, not just from a book. The students like that."

"11“My experience at East West Healing Arts has opened new pathways for my life that I had never imagined before. I’m more in tune with my own body as well as having a deeper understanding of the human body in general from an Eastern and Western perspective. As a result of the split curriculum, I feel that I gained a strong foundation for building confidence as a Massage Therapist. Moreover, clients really appreciate the combination Eastern and Western techniques I use during a massage.”
