In 1986, Su Bibik and Jim Herweg started doing massage and providing cleansing services out of their home. As their practice grew, clients began asking Su & Jim if they could teach them how to do massage. And so was born the Professional Massage Therapy Program. The first class had three students.
By 1993, the Professional Massage Therapy Program was running strong and the Kalamazoo Center for the Healing Arts became a licensed school of Massage & Bodywork.Su and Jim continued to practice as massage therapists as well as grow the Massage Therapy Program out of what they were finding in the therapy room.

Testimonials
Report
I'm writing to express the stream of gratitude for your and Jim's instruction and influence that shaped foundationally. That stream flows through me still. You taught us how to listen, really listen, through our hands, our bodies, our intuitive knowing, our hearts. Our world needs deep listeners and healers who learn to take care of themselves so they can take care of others.
