If you’re like thousands of other job seekers, you may dream of earning the big bucks without having to deal with the extreme stress that goes hand-in-hand with top-paying jobs. Of course, a high-salary, low-stress job sounds too good to be true. Or is it?

Believe it or not, you don’t have to take on a heart-pounding career as a brain surgeon, airline pilot or stock broker to bring home some serious bacon. As a matter of fact, some of the highest-stress jobs pay surprisingly scanty salaries. [Read more →]

Graduate Reflects on Massage with Poem

Mentor Lucas Nevarez, Campus Manager Klayna Snider, & NHI Graduate Akilah Tutt.

Mentor Lucas Nevarez, Campus Manager Klayna Snider, & NHI Graduate Akilah Tutt.

Greetings,
I hope this message finds you well.  Here is a copy of the short poem I read at Graduation on Monday, May 17.

The Beauty of Massage
Hands touch flesh.
Speaking a language sometimes foreign to even the most well-versed of beings.
Stripping away stress.
Quieting the voices of pain and feelings of discontent.
We share moments of rebuilding.
Thoughts of compassion.
Increasing senses of well-being.
It’s the Vitamin T of therapeutic touch.
With one vision, one vibe, one moment.
Melting away uncertainties from the inside.
And igniting a new passion for life on the outside.
Today we enter a world of body workers that become vessels for The Most High.
Today we spread our wings and we fly.

Thank you so much for all that you do for me and for NHI at large.  I look forward to keeping in touch and continuing to grow in the field of massage and as a person holistically.

With Love & Sincerity,
Akilah Tutt

Editor’s Note: Akilah was hired at Spa Silverado two days before graduation!

The National Holistic Institute campus in Emeryville has a new home.  After 23 years in its former location, NHI Emeryville is now located in its very own building just one block east.

The morning of April 23 saw the final classes at the old campus with the afternoon classes inaugurating the freshly appointed new classrooms across the street just 30 minutes later.  Students, staff, and clinic clients have expressed rave reviews!

With the new Emeryville campus and the launch of NHI’s 400-hour Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist program (read article), we’ve completed [Read more →]
