Tutorials – Lexington Healing Arts Academy offers students the ability to schedule a tutorial, which provides personalized attention from academic experts. Students can meet privately or in a small group to discuss course materials, ask questions, and get feedback on their work.

Massage Practice Opportunities – No need to purchase a massage table during school. Being aware of time and financial restraint, we offer students the opportunity to reserve a classroom to practice massaging on classmates, friends, and family. There is no cost for students to practice, and practice makes perfect!

Massage Table Rentals – Allowing you to access high-quality massage tables without the upfront cost of purchasing, LHAA encourages students to practice by renting a table from the school at $10 a day or $20 a weekend.

Free Ethics CE class – LHAA takes great pride in our ethical standards of students, faculty, and staff. Massage Therapists in Kentucky must complete 12 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years to renew their license. At least three (3) of those hours must be in Ethics. The school offers this class, at no cost, every year to our alumni.

Emergency Student Fund – Through the kind donations of our clients in the massage clinic, this fund is available to help qualifying students in need of emergency financial help.

Kate’s Pantry – The pantry has items that faculty, staff, students, and employers have donated to. This community space provides food, hygiene, and household items to any students who request them.

Community Garden – We are a family at LHAA and have created a beautiful community garden for our students to enjoy. It includes vegetables, spices, flowers, a picnic table, and outdoor seating.

Free Yoga classes – Peace and tranquility are part of our philosophy. Any active student is welcome to take our yoga classes at no cost in our beautiful, spacious yoga studio.

Workshops Discounts – LHAA offers therapeutic personal development services, including Couple Massage, Reiki, Yin Yoga Immersion, Meditation, and more at a discount to our students and graduates.

Massage Therapy Clinic Discounts – To let our students or graduates know how much we appreciate them, they will receive a discount on services and products.

Scholarship Opportunities – We are aware that some of our students need assistance paying for school. Scholarships are financial support awarded to student(s) based on academic achievement or other criteria. Scholarship applications are available to all active students and are awarded several times a year.

Veterans’ Affairs (VA) – LHAA appreciates your service and sacrifice. VA is a federal agency that provides educational benefits to veterans, service members, and their families to pay for college for our day and evening classes.

Vocational Rehabilitation (VOC Rehab) – VOC Rehab considers incoming and current students of LHAA as individuals entering or re-entering employment. They provide opportunities and services to eligible students with disabilities by assisting with some of the costs of their education.

Free Transcript Equation – Equation is used to determine the equivalence of a foreign transcript to a US education and can be expensive. Once the transcript has been translated, we offer to equate that at no cost to the student, through our Registrar.

Complimentary Coaching Sessions – We want our students to be successful by offering a very unique opportunity to have several one-on-one sessions with a professional in the field and receive feedback. These professionals are Licensed Massage Practitioner (LMP) and are often LHAA instructors. These sessions are offered at no cost to the students at the school.

Annual Alumni Reunion – We are a family at LHAA and look forward to seeing some of the 1,400 alumni that has graduated with us over the last 25 years at our alumni reunion! We celebrate that day with games, food, photo booths, and teach them their required Ethics continuing education class at no cost.

Discounted Continuing Education – The school has been a leader in teaching continuing education (CE) for 25 years in the community and offers a wide variety of classes. Because we support our alumni in their careers as massage therapists, we offer a discount to them to further their education in the field.

Placement Assistance – We are proud that we have a nineteen-year success rate in placing our students into a career in massage therapy that is higher than the benchmark for COMTA (Commission on Massage Therapy Association). We have a dedicated Career Service Coordinator who meets with incoming students, current students, and alumni to assist them in finding a job in their located area and in a modality of their choice. We have spent 25 years creating and keeping healthy relationships with employers in the Lexington area and the surrounding areas to support our alumni. We also assist alumni who need to transition their license to another state.

LABS – Labs are supplemental; they are not required but highly encouraged. The aim is to provide more practice, review, and essential massage skills.
