NHI Launches Single Largest Program Expansion in History

National Holistic Institute has officially (and proudly) launched the largest program expansion in recent history: a 400-hour Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist course.

To spearhead this Herculean effort, NHI partnered with American Massage Therapy Association Vice-President and nationally renowned teacher Cynthia Ribeiro.  She worked hand-in-hand with our own Curriculum Coordinator Jim O’Hara to structure the five 80-hour modules that make up the course.  Teaching alongside Cynthia are NHI’s own Esko Homsi and Advanced Program Manager Al Carbonetti.  Special activities include cadaver lab classes, anatomical modeling, and integral anatomy work.  Click Here for the course flyer.

As a national leader, NHI has always strived to set the standard of professionalism and excellence in the massage therapy field.  “Today NHI took a step towards continuing advancing the level and the quality of education of the Massage Therapy Profession,” Cynthia Ribeiro excitedly proclaimed.

“This was a very high energy day,” Al Carbonetti enthusiastically recounted of the first class, “All 19 students arrived on time and we combined a traditional orientation class with lecture and even snuck in a couple of 20-minute bodywork sessions for the students.  Thanks to everyone who helped to make this day happen.  It is the first time I have been involved in a project of this magnitude, and to see the dedication, hard work and single-minded sense of purpose from all involved has been inspiring.”

Enrollment for the Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist course is ongoing at our Emeryville campus and will begin at our San Jose campus in September.  Click Here for more information about this and other Continuing Education opportunities.
