Your long-term success and happiness with your career in bodywork starts with your choice of school. We are an accredited school. Accreditation is your assurance of independently verified adherence to teaching standards. Look for a school accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA). At this time, DIHA is the only COMTA accredited school in Arizona. This is worthwhile to you as a student because COMTA recognizes schools that adhere to stringent curriculum requirements, testing procedures and management of school practices. The Desert Institute is also accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCST). Both agencies are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

We have a long history of success.
Established in 1982, the Desert Institute is one of the longest operating bodywork schools in the U.S.A
