California Healing Arts College

Overview
California Healing Arts College is a massage therapy school located in West Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1988 by Dr. Paul Schwinghamer, a chiropractor and educator devoted to massage therapy training, the institution is dedicated to promoting massage therapy as a non-invasive healing art and a needed adjunct to the present forms of medicine, chiropractic, and acupuncture.
