Southwest Institute of Healing Arts’ mission statement is to inspire individuals to discover their gifts and graces, and support them as they share their talents with the world in a loving and profitable way. It is built within the mission statement that SWIHA is here to offer lifelong support to its students and graduates. Part of this support is offered through the Career Services team which is currently held by Will Zecco, James Patrick, Sharon Rose, and Sara Zeja. The Career Services department at SWIHA is dedicated to supporting students and alumni with developing professional skills, building networks, and launching their businesses in a loving and profitable way. Sharon Rose, On-Campus Success Coach states, “As a Success Coach, my purpose is to coach, mentor, and encourage our students to take purposeful steps to create attainable habits that lend to sustainable action towards goal achievement.”
There are several new and exciting offerings that are led by the Career Services team. James Patrick, Director of Business Development and Community Outreach, has developed a new branch of Career Services by working on developing meaningful community relationships and partnerships with outside organizations to offer opportunities for our graduates to work with an established company that has compatible missions and visions to our graduates.

“Do what is yours to do and the Universe provides the rest. Step out of your comfort zone that is where life begins. The best part of my job as an Advisor and Success Coach is seeing the students that I work with becoming successful. I look at it as their success is my success. Encouraging students to step out of their comfort zone, trust in their abilities and ask for support when they need it. I find that FEAR…… False Evidence Appears Real is the largest hurdle that our students need to overcome when they are ready to take the first steps toward taking their gifts out into the world in a profitable way. Letting them know that they are not alone in this.” - Will Zecco
“I love brainstorming ideas when it comes to a students'/graduates’ products, services, pricing, programs, and packages. When they see how much they are capable of and how much time goes into what they offer beyond the session, I find that they truly own their worth and don’t look back. They see the value in their brand!” - James Patrick
“I love my job because it allows me to hold space for the authentic creative self-expression of my students to come through as they build a better life for themselves” - Sharon Rose
“I very much enjoy that I get to meet with all the graduates and that I get to award them their diplomas and degrees. It’s wonderful to share that experience with them when they first see it, and celebrating their accomplishment with them is incredible. I’ve always loved doing what I do to help others do what they do.” - Sara Zejda
