National Holistic Institute - Los Angeles Massage School, Studio City CA

I have always had great massages at National Holistic both Los Angeles and Berkeley.
Once in Berkeley I was really looking forward to my 1st Tandem massage.
The man at my feet was amazing, and I had to have him change positions with the woman who clearly didn't know what she was doing. Not such a good experience. However, my massages and both my guest that I introduced to the school's massages have all had wonderful experiences.
I just wish for today that you were open.

I’ve had a great experience at NHI. I’m had way through my Junior year and have learned so much from anatomy, kinesiology, deep tissue, body mechanics, Swedish massage and the list goes on. I’ve enjoyed have different teachers to get different perspectives and techniques. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to start their massage therapist journey!

Attending NHI is the best choice I could have made. They have helped me find work I love and join amazing volunteer opportunities since I graduated in 2012.

So i just received a myofascial release session with Lou from studio city, amazing session.highly recommend getting a massage from him.

When I came to NHI, I felt inspired by the core program, but I was afraid to enter the field. I decided to continue on through their Advanced Neuromuscular program to help build my confidence.

To be honest, I hated the extended program at first. I considered quitting many times, but thanks to my mentors and friends, I felt inspired to continue. I am so grateful that I did. I became a better therapist because of this program, more importantly, I think I have become a better person. More caring and compassionate, more patient with my self and others. I have learned to be a better part of my community, and I love the work I do to give back to the world.

If you’re thinking of joining, I promise you it’s not a waste of time. You get what you give, but if you choose to push through the challenges, I promise the people and the program will help you discover a part of yourself you didn’t know you needed.

I have been receiving massages at “THE NOW” along Ventura Blvd. After a couple months, I finally asked my Massage Therapist where he was trained and he told me, NHI on the corner of Vineland and Ventura. I went there to check it out and attended their open house. I felt at home. I could feel the closeness and good camaraderie among the students. Now, I am one of their students. Although I already have a career in nursing, I felt as though having massage therapy skills, which I love, would be something I look forward to everyday. I love receiving massages. My classmates can attest to that as I always ask for more even when the session is over.

The instructors and staff at NHI are awesome. They are all very welcoming and approachable. I am very appreciative of their dedication. They are very supportive toward the success of the students. They constantly check on us and give us updates about our current curricular status and are very accommodating. For example, if any of us find ourselves in financial difficulties, and can't afford to buy food, NHI has a shelf full of dry goods for any of us to eat.

Additionally, our school is well known at sporting events. Recently, my instructor organized a volunteer massage for the runners at the LA Marathon. I experienced it firsthand, it was fantastic to be able to help the athletes, and they were very appreciative. I cannot wait to have a private practice of my own and be my own boss!

This school is very hands on learning. Instructorsw are very helpful. Also they encourage you to do better and get you help when needed. The school and people are very nice and helpful!

I've been to several vocational schools including one being a massage therapy program. None of them compared to my experience at NHI. The Mentors and staff care about your paid experience and education. Every instructor pushes you to be successful and prepares you for your future of massage.

I have been attending NHI for almost 2 months now and I am so impressed with how much useful knowledge I've learned already. Also, I love that we started practicing body work almost right away. The staff has been so kind and helpful, and they always make the class fun! Looking forward to the rest of my time here.

Enrolling at NHI has been the beat decision I have ever made in my 35 years roaming this planet. The teachers love what they teach and are constantly learning themselves. The students are, for the most part, compassionate, helpful, generous, and entertaining as heck. I cannot imagine a better place to learn a career that will actually provide what the motto promises: have work you love. This place is like Hogwarts, but for massage, and is just as magical and whimsical as can be achieved in this reality. I LOVE NHI TILL DEATH!

I am in love with this school! I started my Core program this January, and in just 2 months I can tell that I’m a completely different person. First of all, the curriculum is great, and being very methodical and analytical person who prefers to take in the information from A to B to C, I really appreciate the way the material is presented, structured and explained in both practical and theory classes. Teachers and staff are extremely nice and helpful, and what I love is that they will take their time and make sure you understand everything while being very understanding with you. Hands on experience is like no other! Love clinics, where I get to massage customers and get feedback that I need while in school. On top of that, I already started my externship with spa, which is amazing, considering that 2 months ago I had no experience in massage at all. This school really makes you go into the real world and get as much hands on and networking experience as possible. The energy of school is so welcoming, I wish I could live here. I have met so many great people! Can’t imagine what it will be like by September, when I’m supposed to graduate, looking forward to this moment while I enjoy every single day spent here. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering massage therapy as their profession.

Very welcoming and open, administrators/staff will guide you every step of the way to fulfill enrollment and ensure you reach your career goals.

The therapist are okay. I get the full two hour because that’s the only way to get somewhat of a good massage. I’ve been a few times and I’m going to try the AtoZ massage school in Thousand Oaks/Santa Monica. You can re book with a therapist if you like them and they’re very professional. They don’t hold your credit card info for anyone to have access to (your CC info is listed in a regular system that anyone can use, fraud inevitable tbh). Go here if you don’t have any expectations, the therapists are all average to poor and the training can’t be great WTH what they’re putting out. Try somewhere better or hire a licensed professional, going here wasn’t my best experiences in massage schools but hopefully they’ll read this and did better. In addition having students take your survey when you leave is asinine like I’m leaving my massage I don’t want to have to directly tell the person they weren’t very good. That should be a post online survey or something, very dissatisfied with the service and parts of the atmosphere

They literally beg and make raffles for their students to make good reviews about them. Lmao. Huge scam and waste of time and money. Don’t attend Or go here for massage.
