Legacy Bay Area Colleges Unite to Expand Program Offerings in Holistic Health

 

Emeryville, California – National Holistic Institute | A College of Massage Therapy announces the acquisition of Bauman College, a leading provider of vocational programs in the fields of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts.

The entire team at Bauman College has done a tremendous job and we’re looking forward to furthering that legacy in the years to come.” – Tim Veitzer – President, NHI
