New Year’s Resolutions

The Admissions Department visits the new Emeryville Campus for which they will soon be enrolling.

Students who join us in January often do so because of a New Year’s resolution they’ve made – a promise to themselves to achieve a specific goal in the coming year.  In this case, to start a new career in massage therapy.

National Holistic Institute is no exception.  Every year we make New Year’s resolutions that will benefit our students and continue our unrivaled streak as California’s best massage therapy school.  This year, our 31^st year helping people have work they love, looks to be our best yet.  Among our 2010 goals and plans:

• New Emeryville Campus – In March, the Emeryville Campus will leave its home since 1989 and move 1 block away into its own building at 5900 Doyle.  This state-of-the-art, eco-friendly facility was designed and built with the NHI student in mind.  Admissions Representatives (pictured above) have started enrolling for classes in this new location.
• Advanced 400-hour Program – NHI has long set the standard for massage therapy education, becoming California’s first nationally accredited massage school back in the late 80’s.  We continue the trend by adding an additional 400 hours to our already comprehensive, foundational 720-hour program.  NHI has teamed with expert and American Massage Therapy Association Vice-President Cynthia Ribeiro to develop a 5-module neuromuscular course that will include cadaver classes, anatomical clay modeling, and integral anatomy work.  Classes begin February/March in Emeryville with other campuses to follow.
• Los Angeles Expansion – With wait lists for many of the classes at our Los Angeles Campus in Encino, expect to see a larger NHI presence in Southern California later this year.

As we fulfill our New Year’s resolutions, we look forward to helping our students fulfill theirs.  We wish you all a prosperous and very happy New Year!
