National Holistic Institute - Sacramento Massage School

I can never get a hold of anyone at this school. I have been calling for a couple of months for Information and left a messages like 4x now, but no return call. I think that’s a sign from the universe just keep it pushing some where else.

This experience has been nothing short from AMAZING! Ms Penny is amazing and I would not have made it this far without her being my teacher. She made this experience worth every (literal) Penny, every tear, every hard day. She has made me as a person feel worth all the space I take. I’m only half way through this program. (Woot woot yo senior segment!) but I look forward to continuing to grow and learn from not just from her but every Amazing instructor here at NHI Justin! Amy, Alicia, Ms Patty, Kam I am so grateful of you all and how you’ve been apart of every step of this journey. You all are truly living apart of your purpose. To think I’d be here today, last year this time, I’d laugh. Now being apart of this program and the experience I can only extend gratitude for you all!

This school has been such a great opportunity. The staff is so knowledgeable, caring, and advanced trained that it benefits the student immensely. My mentor Penny is wonderful to learn from and has such a great background; not to mention motivating. All the staff, including the Admin, are absolutely there to help you find and meet your goals. -N. Doohan

As an alumni of National Holistic Institute (NHI), I am thrilled to share my experience and the profound impact it had on my journey in the massage industry. NHI provided me with the essential foundation and core fundamentals that have propelled my growth and success in this field.

The curriculum at NHI was meticulously designed to encompass a wide range of massage techniques and therapeutic approaches. From the moment I stepped foot in their classrooms, I knew I was in the hands of experienced and dedicated instructors who were passionate about their craft. Their expertise, coupled with their genuine commitment to my learning, helped me develop a solid understanding of the art and science of massage therapy.

One aspect that truly stands out about NHI is the emphasis they place on hands-on training. Theory alone can only take you so far, but at NHI, we were given ample opportunities to practice our skills in a supervised and supportive environment. The school provided a variety of practical experiences, such as clinical rotations and internships, which allowed us to work with real clients and gain invaluable practical knowledge. This hands-on approach fostered a deep sense of confidence and competence within me, and it has been an invaluable asset throughout my career.

Even after completing my program, NHI continues to be a source of inspiration and support. The school has created a vibrant community of alumni and professionals who remain connected long after graduation. Their commitment to nurturing and fostering our growth extends far beyond the classroom, with ongoing career counseling and networking opportunities. I am grateful for the continuous resources and guidance that NHI provides, as they have played a significant role in shaping my professional path.

Looking back, I can confidently say that choosing National Holistic Institute was one of the best decisions I made for my career. The education and experience I gained have become the solid foundation upon which I continually build and refine my skills. The knowledge and techniques I acquired during my time at NHI have proven to be invaluable, and I consistently draw from them in my practice.

If you are considering a career in massage therapy and seeking a school that will provide you with exceptional training and an unwavering commitment to your success, I wholeheartedly recommend National Holistic Institute. From the moment you step through their doors, you will be embraced by a community dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. Trust me when I say that your experience at NHI will be transformative and set you on a path of growth and fulfillment in the industry.

I had a fantastic clinic session at nhi. The therapist was confident and professional and even gave me a plan to work on my problem areas on my own, which I appreciated. Would definitely go again!
I enjoy the Shiatsu massages. It's not your stereotypical massage. I liked the movement and stretching components. Felt so limber when finished.

Current Veteran Student, this school is as advertised. It is a safe space to learn, the staff goes above and beyond to see you succeed. There is no discrimination or judgement. The information is detailed and the experience to practice on the public is so essential. Would recommend to others. Penny is my amazing instructor.

I was going through life without really knowing what I wanted to do. I went on a spiritual journey that led me to NHI, where I met the best people! My triple AAA Amy, Alicia, and Aubrey! The best teachers ever and that was just the core! ANMT was even better with the best teachers available in the country! Alicia who is the most innocently Nebraskan you have ever done met. She is the nicest, adorkable person to exist.a sisterly vibe to her. Trena is a treasure who might come off intimidating but is super sweet and helpful so don't hesitate to reach out. Phil is super knowledgeable and will push you, also won't suger coat things but has only the best intentions with furthering the profession. The most welcoming and supportive thing I've ever been a part of. Never new a job could be so fulfilling ️ please come join the NHI alumni!

Although my student experience with NHI was some time ago (2015/2016.) some things don’t change. All NHI staff will always go above and beyond to aid their students with their goals. I felt incredibly supported as a student at NHI. The ANMT program that continues after the Core program HANDS DOWN increased my quality of touch and knowledge of the body. Attending NHI was a life changing experience. I truly found a career and community I enjoy by going to NHI and becoming a Certified Massage Therapist/Neuromuscular Therapist.

This place was a beautiful start to my massage career. My instructor Penny was amazing as well as many of the staff members. By the time it was graduation it had felt like my other home. I felt ready to get going in the field and I was equipped with knowledge to help others! Thank you NHI for everything!

I’m currently enrolled in the AMNT program with about a month left. I’m happy with the training. I feel like it’s definitely boosted my skills far above a regular massage therapist. The teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. It is fast paced and requires a bit of dedication to take all the information in. Thank you for the education!

NHI has given me all the tools and training I need to be a successful and good massage therapist. If you are serious and dedicated, this is the school for you. You will receive comprehensive training including hands on. You will learn theory, pathology, anatomy, kinesiology, etc. As a 2023 graduate of NHI, I feel confident in my practice as a massage therapist. My confidence could not be obtained without the training I received from NHI. The NHI mentors (who are experienced Massage Therapist), clinics, specialized training are all invaluable and prepares you for the profession. I will be continuing my education by attending the Advanced Neuromuscular Program offered by NHI.

Absolutely best hands on education experience! The staff is absolutely incredible. They help you realize “everything is figure out-able” when you have a goal in mind. I also had a pregnancy in the middle of my ANMT program and they worked with me so that I was able to complete the program and did not have to give up my dreams just because I had a larger life event.

This was so crucial because
I had planned to attend NHI for 11 years. Once upon a time, I was a little country girl, I tried moving to the bay area to go to the Emeryville campus and it didn’t quite work. When I found out the Sacramento campus was open that I started taking teaser classes then I eventually move to Sacramento to attend NHI. And it was truly the key to unlocking all of my dreams as a massage therapist.

I was already a certified Massage Therapist and had been practicing for over 10 years. However, my time in the field showed me that there were many holes in my education. The most significant reason why I wanted to attend NHI was for the neuromuscular therapy program. In order to do that I had to first complete the core program. I was not mad about it! The core program was phenomenal and truly a transformational experience as an individual with an entire group of people seeking the same goal. So powerful! And encouraging! I now have life long friends in the feild from this program.

The neuromuscular therapy program was so worth the wait of 11 years, but again I wish I would have done it sooner! The knowledge that I have now and the ability that I have to communicate the very specifics of anatomy with my clients is what gets them the results that they so need!

I am booked completely everyday if my work week and having a long waiting list. You can become a successful and fulfilled massage therapist by are journey through NHI!

THANK YOU NHI

I graduated from NHI Sacramento just wanted to say thank you everyone is so sweet and polite my mentor Fred super amazing teacher no one will leave you hanging will help you with everything you need will make sure you understand everything. That was my peace time in school. Highly recommend if you thinking about massage this is the school

I attended NHI about a year ago and really enjoyed my time here. Well balanced curriculum and attentive teachers. You will be assigned a “mentor” but the class set up is interactive so you’ll meet other mentors along the way. Great way to connect with other like minded healers. The best part about this school is that are the teachers are incredibly caring and compassionate!

National Holistic Institute's Massage Therapy program is the favorite educational experience of my life - I have multiple degrees (professional photography, BS & MS in Geology, Certificates in Software Process Improvement and CMMI from Carnegie Mellon University and multiple Six Sigma programs) and never before did I feel so supported in my learning. There is a lot of information, and by the time you are done with the program you are in a great position to be a fabulous massage therapist, but the pace that you are provided the information and support that you have during the learning process is so tremendous that it made learning so much both easy and fun! I especially enjoyed the Advanced Neuromuscular Massage program (which I took immediately after finishing the core program) because I learned how to be an even more amazing massage therapist through that program. There are many different possible schedules: evenings, weekends, or just weekdays, if that is your preference. Give NHI a call if you have any interest in becoming a massage therapist, you will be very happy that you did!

Going to this school changed my life! The staff is amazing. I felt more than prepared to go out into the massage world and help people.

I went here group 70 & 71 I had the best experience with Ms Trena & Ms Alicia I did the Advanced Program too I highly recommend this School best Instructors Hands down the Dynamic Duo! Highly educational & Passionate Instructors who truly care!

Instructors are very knowledgeable in their field and are very welcoming. Any questions I had, they were able to help me find the answers I’m looking for.

Just graduated the Core program and am moving on to the ANMT program soon. Absolutely loved my NHI experience at the Sacramento Campus. The staff is phenomenal! I’be learned so much already and am looking forward to diving even deeper. Thank you!
