Pacific Grove Triathlon was another great success! Thanks to NHI teacher Conrad Santos and the nine NHI massage therapists that made the drive to Pacific Grove.

The massage tables and chair arrived in the fog about 6:15am in time to find a decent parking place, but not in time to get into the vendor area.

The faculty of the National Holistic Institute Encino Campus recently donated 18 1-hour professional massage sessions to raise money and awareness for the Massage Therapy Foundation.

Students, graduates, and clinic clients alike enjoyed a “professional” version of our regular student-run teaching clinic.  Clients for the evening had the option of buying a limited number of massages outright, winning massages through a raffle, or correctly answering a quiz about the Massage Therapy Foundation.  The faculty and students teamed together to raise $500.
