The Wellspring School History

The Wellspring School for Healing Arts was founded in 1995 by Rylen Feeney. The school is currently owned and operated by Rylen Feeney and Rachael Myles and offers classes in Boise, Idaho and Portland, Oregon. At The Wellspring School, we offer comprehensive programs and classes in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Amma Therapy (Asian Bodywork Therapy), nutrition, movement arts and wholistic healthcare. The Wellspring’s programs are inspired, demanding, rewarding, and exceed national standards.

The Wellspring is one of the few Asian bodywork schools in the United States that in addition to giving students a strong Chinese Medicine foundation emphasizes nutrition and focuses on self-care of the practitioner. Our graduates are qualified to sit for the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) national certifying exam and currently have a 97% pass rate.

The Wholistic Nutrition certification program is one of the few approved by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) as well as the American Association of Nutritional Consultants (AANC). Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for board examination via the testing arms of these associations.

Training at The Wellspring School is far more than memorization and learning a technique: it is a journey of self-discovery. Students are encouraged to recognize patterns in themselves and their health that can be improved, allowing them to become better practitioners by living authentically with the principles of wholistic health. Whether you are an existing practitioner, someone looking to start a dedicated career in wholistic healthcare, or an individual wanting to learn more on a personal level, The Wellspring School encourages each individual student to gain the most from his or her educational experience.
