East-West Holistic Healing Arts is the only source of AMMA Therapy® education in Arizona.  AMMA Therapy® is Korean bodywork, brought to the United States by the late Mrs. Tina Sohn over 25 years ago.  AMMA Therapy® is a complete system of bodywork that incorporates Chinese nutrition and gentle movement exercises such as Qi Gong and T'ai Chi.  The bodywork is performed on a standard height table, unlike most other forms of Asian Bodywork, and follows a specific protocol of opening the meridians and stimulating acupressure points.  The standard table height used in AMMA Therapy® makes it an ideal therapy for the hospital setting or the average massage room setting. 

East-West Holistic Healing Arts also offers courses in the Boomer Bodies™ Protocol (massage therapy for Seniors), and Clearing the Gates™ (headache protocol).  We also offer our own Hot Stone protocol as well as Reiki classes, Aromatherapy classes, Facial Rejuvenation Massage, and Professional Ethics.
