The Alternative Healing Academy was opened in 2008, headed by Dr. Dee Braun and a team of Natural Health Professionals with more than 35 years combined experience.Their research revealed that the majority of alternative health classes offered online were either incomplete & lacking in substance; too expensive for the average person; or both. Seeking to offer more complete & affordable holistic education, the Academy was born.

The idea behind AHA is to offer anyone with a desire to learn about natural healing the opportunity to do so. Therefore, our classes are offered via Home Study with payment plan options for students.

The AHA team, which spent many long hours creating in-depth, comprehensive and easy-to-understand courses, has both practical and educational experience in the areas of reflexology, aromatherapy, color and crystal therapy, human anatomy, homeopathy, flower remedies, and Reiki.

The results of this hard work show in the 'student-friendly' place of learning that the Academy offers those wanting to learn natural healing:

• Home study courses in some of the most effective and popular healing modalities
• One on one tutoring as often as needed (Meet our tutors!)
  
• Years of real-world natural health experience for students to draw upon
• Affordable payment plans
• Comprehensive lesson modules that are fully illustrated and easy to understand

Dr. Braun remains very much involved in AHA, taking on many students to tutor and directing the course of the Academy as a whole. She is always accessible to all students and truly does everything she can to assure their success in their chosen field of study.

The Alternative Healing Academy’s holistic health courses are structured to make learning from home both easy & effective.
