8 Month Massage Therapy Career Training Program With Classes Online and On-Campus

Massage Therapy has become the most widely used complementary care modality in the United States. More and more people turn to massage to treat injury, reduce pain and ease stress.

Whether you’re just starting out, ready to make a career change, or perhaps looking for a second source of income, you owe it to yourself to consider your potential as a Massage Therapist. If you’re a compassionate, intuitive person interested in holistic healing, helping others, and working in a clinical setting, becoming a professional bodyworker is a great choice for a rewarding career with a great job outlook!

Become A Qualified Massage Therapist & Bodyworker

The Massage Therapy Training Program at National Holistic Institute (NHI) provides hands-on training, practical experience and industry support you need to become a qualified and confident bodyworker.

Real World Training

Massage is unquestionably a hands-on field, and at NHI we believe that’s how it should be taught. As a student in our program you’ll work on the public, under the guidance of licensed instructors, in our on-campus clinics. You’ll feel comfortable and fully prepared to transition from being a student to working as a massage therapy professional after gaining so much direct, real world experience before you graduate.

Convenient Morning, Afternoon & Evening Schedules

This program is designed to fit the needs of busy adult learners. We understand the lives our students lead, and how important it is to have balance that is why we offer a hybrid learning environment with classes online and on-campus. Many students are working, taking care of family and/or juggling other commitments while they attend school. Choose the schedule that best fits your lifestyle.

The full-time program can be completed in 8 months.
The part-time program can be completed in 10 months or 12 months.

Get Prepared for California State Certification

Upon completion of this program, graduates are fully prepared and qualified to take the MBLEX exam required for California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) Certification.

After completing 500 hours of the program, you’ll be eligible to begin the application process for CAMTC certification. Once you’re certified you can work in the massage therapy field. If you become certified before graduating the program, you can begin working while you finish your training.

Get The Support You Need To Launch A Successful Career

Massage and bodywork training isn’t about getting a diploma to hang on the wall – it’s about developing the future you desire. As an NHI student you will be mentored by a dedicated and passionate team of massage therapy professionals committed to your success. You will also have access to a Student Life and Career Counselor to assist you with each step of becoming a massage therapist.

It is our mission at NHI to help you find work you love. In 2013 and 2014 over 87% of our graduates were working in the field of massage therapy.

Financial Aid is available for those who qualify.

My time at NHI was and always has been a fantastic experience. It was a lot of hard work and time but it’s all worth it from my experiences. NHI only wants to help their students exceed and provide guidance in anyway they can. I had the best support system and I still keep in touch with my classmates. This school has helped me succeed in my dream and getting a job that I love.
