I loved my time at NHI. We were doing classes during lockdown, the school did absolutely everything they could to get as close to regular as they could given the circumstances. There wasn't a single person working there that didn't want us to succeed. I can't say enough good things about NHI. If you want an amazing school experience and wonderful education please do whatever you can to go to this school it is totally worth the effort.

I attended National Holistic Institute as a student in Massage Therapy on the (then) San Francisco Campus in 2010 and have worked at the NHI Redding Campus since 2016.

I had always dreamt of a career in Massage Therapy and the healing arts. After doing my research on MT schools in the area of the SF Bay, I decided to attend NHI and turn my dream into a reality. Shortly after graduating from NHI, I became a Certified MT and worked at a high-end sports club in San Francisco. Not long after, I traveled to India to study additional education in alternative body therapies.

NHI opened my eyes and heart to the career I had longed for. I appreciate and value my education from NHI so much. I have career I love in the field of Massage Therapy, and having a NHI location in Redding is so amazing.

NHI Redding offers the high value education and career services support I experienced as a student in SF, as well as having the added benefit of resources such as a Learning Resource Center (LRC) to study and print materials as needed on site.

I can't tell you how much I love NHI. I love that I was able to meet like-minded humans, interested in holistic and alternative health. I love being a part of the NHI family. I love that my best friend was the maid-of-honor at my wedding a couple of years ago, and that we met in seated circle at Orientation on the SF Campus.

I am forever grateful to NHI for introducing me to a community of support and friendship in the Massage Therapy community.

Forever 5 stars.

I just graduated from NHI, and it was the best decision I've made in a long time to start the program. I really didn't think I could complete the whole 12 month program, but with all the support of the teachers, mentors, and other staff, I was able to fly through the program with a 4.0 GPA and excellent attendance, and had an amazing time. The hybrid learning also made it possible for me to do this, and I still learned everything just like I was there in person. Not to mention you get massaged regularly throughout the program!

I am so profoundly thankful to have chosen National Holistic Institute for massage therapy. The teachers here in Redding are some of the best teachers I've ever had. I had a lot of anxiety coming back to school. I learn different than the average student and choose to be in environments now that nurture my spirit. I went to samplers, read reviews and decided to give it a try. I could have gone to any campus. Redding felt right but I visited Emeryville to be sure. Emeryville felt cold and impersonal, so I ultimately decided to come to Redding with nothing but a feeling.

Redding is very different. It's a much better fit for my personality. Same curriculum, intensely knowledgeable teachers, less people and more personalized. Classes are small and become like family within weeks. Our teachers know all of us and hold space for our goals inside and outside of school. I often laugh, because you can't fit even one of my classmates and I into a box. We're all different, empaths and healers with specific gifts. The journey into recognizing a calling, stepping away from other career paths and taking the dive here takes a lot of trust. The program is not easy but it's so worthwhile. My teacher has spent hours with me, learning how I learn and teaching me in ways that I understand. It's been incredible to not only have my learning style acknowledged, but to be celebrated for the gifts I have and the way I retain knowledge when taught the way I learn.

I looked at the different campus's reviews when I chose NHI, trying to find which campus would be the best fit. I told myself when I was in school, I'd write a review specific to our campus and after meeting many other students from other campuses (through online learning) I can tell you that Redding is special. It's a haven for empaths, intuitives, energy workers and anyone who feels like they don't quite fit other places. There are teachers here who will help you see your gifts and celebrate the brilliance of you. It's a gentle place to learn a lot of new things that will support the beginning of an amazing career. If it sounds like this campus is a good fit, you're so lucky, because Theresa onboards new students and she's the gem that made me realize Redding might just be the perfect fit for me.
