About “The Academy”
Providing education and training in the Healing Arts
since the turn of the century.

Niki Klein
and Susan Crutcher
Niki and Susan met in the early fall of 1999 at Conestoga Institute of Applied Arts and Technology in Waterloo, Ontario. This program, entitled “Complementary Care” was part of the Health Sciences & Community Services Faculty, and was open to those who had successfully completed a degree or diploma in a health-related field or who were working in related fields.
Shortly thereafter, they both registered for a weekend training program which, upon completion, had them both realizing there was a definite need for quality, personalized education in the Healing Arts.
By late fall, they determined they would create their own school and set about to do so.
In January 2000, the first in-person workshop was in place and the Academy of Holistic Modalities was a reality.
Since 1999 …
or as we like to say “since the turn of the century“
