My experience here has been great so far (6 months in!). The instructors are very down to earth, knowledgeable, entertaining and overall good at what they do. Every instructors characteristics and teaching style compliments the experience so well. My advice to anyone thinking about signing up is too just go for it! And when you're there, keep showing up for yourself. Ask questions wherever you may lose your footing. Speak up! For yourself. This school will set you up for success. It won't be easy. It will be fun. Just do it
I met with Juanita and Crystal to learn more about the NHI courses and curriculum, both of them were so welcoming and informative. It’s clear that the NHI campus is truly a community hub of healing. The campus is clean and beautiful. I’m still exploring my options but am grateful for Juanita and Crystal for their support and willingness to help.
I like this place! I have visited NHI twice and have had outstanding massages both times. Once from a male, once from a female, one was Shiatsu, one was Swedish, and I walked away so thoroughly refreshed...I'm goin' back! What amazed me was that these students did a far better job than did the massage professionals at some of the high-priced spas in the area. The combination of outstanding massage and a very affordable price wins the day. I say check 'em out! You'll be happy...and much more relaxed! I only wish I could extend the experience to 90 minutes!
