East-West Healing Arts Institute – Madison

"I've received three superb massages here, and have scheduled a fourth. East-West Healing Arts has become part of my self-care routine. I highly recommend them."

"I have gone to E-W for years, and not once has one of the students been less than wonderful. Everything about this place from people at the front desk to the students to the rooms/setting is high quality. Highly recommend."

"The quality of the education at East West and the combination of courses in Eastern and Western approaches to health and the body in the context of massage therapy is something I will forever be grateful for! The student massage clinic is fantastic!"

"I got matched with Rachel! She’s one of top 2 masseuses in my book. My favorite has always been in chicago and now after 8 years in Madison, I finally found the perfect place. It was professional. The front desk sent out a general intake form to learn about any issues going on and accessed it from there when i checked in. I’ve been to few places in Madison where I had to keep correcting the pressure. I used to get masseuses who massage hard on one spot bc I asked them to and ended up massaging the entire body just as hard. With Rachel, she put different pressure on my body without me saying anything! It was very relaxing and I would do it again with her. At the end, they asked me to fill a client feedback survey. What a great institution Btw, they only accept tips in cash if you plan on tipping!"

"Words cannot describe my experience at East-West. I am profoundly blessed to have come across this school. Our teachers were true, top-notch therapists. The compassion and support I was given through my difficulties in school was unbelievable. These people really care and knew what I was going through, because they likely also experienced something similar in school. The mark of a true massage therapy school is difficulty and its ability to bring about immense personal introspection, evaluation and resulting lifestyle change. This school has that in spades. Our instructors always sought the best in their students and respected our individuality. They were always extremely encouraging of our individual mindsets, goals, interests, creativity and encouraged us to create our massage by integrating those aspects of ourselves. We were taught the "healing arts" quite literally; that therapeutic massage is an artistic expression of our love through healing touch. Plus, the curriculum at this school is simply unmatched in the area. No other program is as comprehensive, thorough or honest as East-West. Dr. Zhou has his critics, but his serious drive to help others has always remained evident to me in working with him. He is endearing and playful at the right moments while also very intentional in giving his best work for those who seek it. Level with him and he will level with you."
