“Learning and growing during my time spent at Sky Hill Institute gradually taught me that happiness is a journey, not a destination.  I not only learned my true wonderful ability to give and accept healing massage, I also understood that each and everyone of us hold the key to this beautiful gift from God, that this power is truly held in our mind, body, soul and heart.  Thank you all.  -Love, light, laughter...”

“My experience at Sky Hill Institute has helped me chart my course for the remainder of my life.  First of all, in helping me realize that my abilities are indeed valuable, and that I can create and accomplish whatever I set out to do.  I knew these things, but to hear them from someone else helped me validate my worth more.  Secondly, the nutrition, massage program, and wholistic practitioner training is sound, thorough, and yes, challenging and difficult at times, but worth the effort.  Lastly, I use much of the program I was taught every day in my personal life, my massage practice, and in my wholistic health practitioner work.
- Trisha Wischmann in Jackson, MO; Wholistic Health Practitioner, class of ‘03

“I have missed all of the staff there tremendously. Often I have questions, and sometimes searching on the Internet confuses me even more. I always look forward to calling them up and getting advice from the one source I trust the most. I have fond memories of the love and support I received while in school.”
- Michelle Masoner in Pittsburg, KS; Wholistic Massage Therapy, class of ‘04
