Students & Employers Love Us!
The Associates of Applied Science (AAS) Degree program has opened so many doors for me in the massage therapy business. I see that more patients are looking for neuromuscular massage therapists. When I explain what I do and what I can do for them, all patients request my massage therapy, which opens up so many different opportunities for me! I’m so glad I went on and took the ANMT and AAS Degree Programs!!! Thank you NHI!
Marti Mendiola | Modesto Campus
NHI has changed my personal life completely. I have met people who are generous, kind, educated and have goals in their lives. That has helped me in my life because today, I can see that whatever you set your mind to and pursue can be done. NHI helped me open doors to make my own business doing what I love most.
Zulma Portillo Martinez | Sacramento Campus
Deciding to go to NHI to learn massage therapy and start my own private practice was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. After checking out several other massage therapy schools, there was no comparison to the energy and enthusiasm I saw and felt in the NHI classroom. I owe NHI everything! I have never been happier creating a life for myself doing massage therapy.
Reggie Reaves | Emeryville Campus
NHI is a place where everyone is able to show up as their best and highest self and unapologetically come and be as they are. I found the environment to be accepting, compassionate and full of very passionate, knowledgeable staff. NHI provided me with many tools to help me better care for people on a much more deep and profound level with the holistic approach in the Core Massage Therapy Program. I went on to complete the Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy (ANMT) Program which gave me the ability to work smarter instead of harder.
Brittany “Shon” Anderson | Studio City Campus
The training and education I received at NHI was very thorough and I enjoyed the structure of the classes. They include the history of massage modalities in their program. It was easy to do part time while working full time. I wouldn’t have a career without NHI. NHI really helped me find something I’m passionate about and want to carry with me forever!
