NHI Grads Among First for California State Massage Therapy Certification

On September 1, 2009, California joined 42 other states in providing state-wide regulations for the massage therapy profession.  National Holistic Institute celebrated this tremendous achievement by hosting a series of Grad Nights at all of our campuses.  The purpose of these events was to help our graduates understand and apply for the new California State Certification.  Over 230 grads attended – and we’re only 1 month into State Certification!

Thanks to Placement Manager Allison McLeod Budlong and her amazing Placement Team, attendees were able to complete their applications, get their Livescan fingerprints taken, and obtain their school transcripts all on-site.  Some even got a complimentary chair massage!  A wide range of graduates turned out, spanning from the beginning of this month all the way back to 1990.  It thrilled the staff to re-connect with so many former students and, for newer staff, to put faces with all the names from emails and phone calls.

Seeing so many grads come together brought life to NHI’s motto of “Helping People Have Work They Love.”
