History
Healing Touch Career College was founded in November 2000 by Mr. Ibrahima Sidibe as a career training proprietary school.
The institution opened its doors offering massage therapy to the first class of 12 students. Since then, we have increased and
improved our massage therapy curriculum from a 640 to a 766 clock hour program with additional courses in highly sought
after bodywork modalities as well as more hours of A&P and hands-on practical training. In 2011, a medical assistant program
was added to the curriculum, broadening our career training opportunities to reach a larger sector of individuals. We now
specialize in both massage therapy and medical assistant career education
