The Healing Arts Program
A professional training structured into six immersive modules and a final community practicum.
Rather than focusing on technique alone, our program develops the capacity to listen deeply. Presence and technique are developed in parallel and are understood as interdependent aspects of practice.
The work is grounded in sensitivity, intuitive awareness, and attunement as foundational to therapeutic engagement. This hands-on training invites first-hand experience and ongoing inquiry, and you will change in ways you may not fully be able to name.
The curriculum is structured across six intensive modules in which theory and practice are interwoven; Polynesian Footwork, Fascial Unwinding, Internal Organ Release, Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, Fascial Manoeuvres and additional supporting practices.
No previous experience is required. The training is designed for those with curiosity, sincerity, and a willingness to engage in self-inquiry and support others in their process.
“We do not become healers. We came as healers. We are. Some of us are still catching up to what we are.”

The Program
This program does not approach the body as something to be fixed. The body is not broken; it is responsive, continuously communicating through sensation, pattern, and adaptation. Our work is to recognise and unfold the blocks and conditions that have accumulated over a lifetime, the ones that impede the body's own profound healing intelligence.
In our Healing Arts Program you will learn how emotions shape and disrupt the body's systems, how a person's beliefs can hold them in a diseased state far longer than any physical condition alone, and why real healing demands that we trust the body rather than override it.
What You Will Walk Away With
A real understanding of the human body. Anatomy, physiology, fascia, meridian lines, vital energy points, yogic anatomy and the impact of trauma on tissue and behaviour. How beliefs create and maintain illness. How unprocessed emotion lives in the body long after the mind has moved on. The reality of it, not the theory.
Hands on training in Polynesian Footwork, Fascial Unwinding, Internal Organ Unwinding, Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, Fascial Manoeuvres and Body Dynamics.
A profession with real demand behind it. The world is not short of people in pain. It is running out of people who know how to meet that pain at its root. As more people seek personal growth and well-being, the healing arts will continue to be essential. By stepping into this work, you’ll support not only professionals but also their friends and families, helping to address collective trauma and nurture the health of the broader community.
A clear ethical foundation. What it means to hold space for someone, where your responsibility begins and ends, and how to run a practice without losing your way.
A community of people who take this seriously and show up for each other because of it.
Mentors who have done the work themselves and are here to usher you further than you would go alone.
And your own transformation. That part is non negotiable. You cannot guide someone through territory you have never entered.

Teachers
Hello, I am Kuldip Quinterno, NMT, LMT, founder of The Healing Arts Center, developer of the Healing Arts Program. I believe that the body has the innate wisdom to heal itself when the right environment is created. I have studied closely with teachers and traditions that support this philosophy, and I work to help create that healing environment. I often say that I am not the healer — Mother Nature is the true healer, and I simply work with and for her.
In addition to monthly classes with me, I have the honor of teaching alongside six esteemed international guest teachers who will share their expertise through specialized online sessions.
