- Monique MoralesInstructorMonique graduated from the core program of NHI Sacramento. She has known that her path in life would lead her to Massage Therapy since she was 15 years old and tells anyone who will listen how National Holistic Institute has changed her life. While her experience is mostly in spa environments, she is passionate about how massage can affect a person’s mental health, specifically Anxiety Disorders. In her free time, she enjoys cross-stitching and crocheting while at various soccer games with her family. She is excited to continue to be a part of the NHI family and spark the same passion for massage that was sparked in her.Kristine BarnesInstructor
With a natural passion for helping people enjoy a better quality of life, Kristine was instinctively drawn to healing arts. She first attended Massage School in 2005 which laid the foundation for a continual quest for more knowledge about the art of massage and other healing modalities. In 2007 she enrolled at Twin Lakes College of the Healing Arts in Santa Cruz, Ca where she completed certification as a Natural Health Practitioner and Certified Hypnotherapist. Kristine brings her years of industry experience, passion for knowledge and desire to help people live their dream to the NHI team. "Knowledge comes from learning. Wisdom comes from living" ...do both.
