What is the Phoenix School?

The Phoenix School of Holistic Health is a state approved school offering quality education in the healing arts. Established in 1986, the eighth school registered in the state, we are now one of the longest running schools in Texas. We have two campuses open in the Houston area. In our two decades we have graduated numerous professionals into the rewarding field of Therapeutic Massage.

What Does "Holistic" Mean?

In studying massage and bodywork from a holistic aspect, we take the whole person into consideration not only their aches and pains. Considering the whole greater than the sum, allows the Phoenix therapist to personalize the massage. Holistic Massage^SM developed at the Phoenix School is an integral part of this holistic protocol. Holistic Massage^SM develops a massage plan precisely tailored to the client's constitution. Outstanding results are experienced by the client. Holistic Massage^SM is published in major journals in massage and bodywork including The Encyclopedia of Bodywork. Holistic Massage^SM was created at the Phoenix School of Holistic Health and is introduced in the Basic Program.
