Clinic is clean and very professional. This is a teaching facility and 99% of the time I have received work, I have been extremely satisfied. This is a reflection of both the students and the teaching staff at this facility. Kudos to both of them. 100% recommend whether you are a future student or customer.

I love NHI. I really want to go to the NMT program and it's really hard for me to learn online and the commute to sacramento is going to be really hard and expensive from redding. I really really hope the Teacher Mat from NHI redding can start teaching it on campus here. There would be soooo many more students who would sign up for it and attend. Please please make this adjustment.. I really want to do the program and pay for it. Thank you

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Deanna. I am a current graduate of group 9D. I started my holistic journey here in 2024, I think. Right. It's 25 right now. Okay. And yeah, I started off as a custodian working full time and going to school full time. Before that, I just felt stuck. Started scrolling through Facebook and Teresa messaged me. I started school the following. During that time, it was a little chaotic juggling work and school and learning new vocabulary. Eventually I had to take an LOA and leave an absence and Fred really helped me out with that. I thought my journey at NHI was done until he called me and asked me if I would like to take it loa. When I came back, I started a new journey with my teacher Sarah and a great class full of students. And I have the opportunity to get my exams read to me during that time, which I am utmost grateful. And they also help me with a job for income. And during this process, I was in the C4L program getting my diploma and eventually I quit my job and focused on my education. Let's see. And where are you working now? Oh, I am currently working at the Capturing Essence Salt Cave with the Yolando. What else? There's more that I literally, I wrote down everything once I quit my job. A lot of doors have opened and I just read it. A lot of doors open for me and everything just fell into place. I completed my externship, I graduated high school and I currently am a graduate of nhi. I'm most grateful for all the team that NHI provides for us.

I absolutely love the National Holistic Institute in Redding! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about massage therapy. The program has been such a life-changing experience for me, and the environment here fosters both personal and professional growth. That said, I do wish they would consider offering the Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy (ANMT) program at the Redding campus. It’s something I’m very passionate about pursuing, but traveling to the Sacramento campus would be a significant hardship for me. Still, I’m going to do my best to make the trek because I truly believe in the value of the training NHI offers. This school is a wonderful place to begin your journey as a massage therapist—just hoping one day they expand more of their advanced offerings up north!

Jayme was the best massage I have had at the school. The massage itself was wonderfully relaxing. The therapist took the time to ask about any areas of tension or discomfort, ensuring that the treatment was tailored to my needs. The pressure was perfect—firm where necessary, but never too intense—and it was clear the therapist was highly skilled, knowing exactly how to target areas of tension and promote relaxation. As the session went on, I felt my muscles gradually release the built-up stress, and by the end, I felt lighter and completely at ease. Not only did it provide physical relief, but it also left me with a deep sense of mental calmness. Thank you for the amazing experience and hope I am able to get another massage by you before you graduate.

NHI teaches by using auditory, visual and kinesthetic methods. The information, while extensive, flows in a manner that is quite easy to learn and understand. I would highly recommend NHI to all that would like to enter the massage world. The staff and mentors are always available to meet your every need and answer your every question so upon graduation you feel like you are well prepared to enter the workforce.

I am so profoundly thankful to have chosen National Holistic Institute for massage therapy. The teachers here in Redding are some of the best teachers I've ever had. I had a lot of anxiety coming back to school. I learn different than the average student and choose to be in environments now that nurture my spirit. I went to samplers, read reviews and decided to give it a try. I could have gone to any campus. Redding felt right but I visited Emeryville to be sure. Emeryville felt cold and impersonal, so I ultimately decided to come to Redding with nothing but a feeling. Redding is very different. It's a much better fit for my personality. Same curriculum, intensely knowledgeable teachers, less people and more personalized. Classes are small and become like family within weeks. Our teachers know all of us and hold space for our goals inside and outside of school. I often laugh, because you can't fit even one of my classmates and I into a box. We're all different, empaths and healers with specific gifts. The journey into recognizing a calling, stepping away from other career paths and taking the dive here takes a lot of trust. The program is not easy but it's so worthwhile. My teacher has spent hours with me, learning how I learn and teaching me in ways that I understand. It's been incredible to not only have my learning style acknowledged, but to be celebrated for the gifts I have and the way I retain knowledge when taught the way I learn. I looked at the different campus's reviews when I chose NHI, trying to find which campus would be the best fit. I told myself when I was in school, I'd write a review specific to our campus and after meeting many other students from other campuses (through online learning) I can tell you that Redding is special. It's a haven for empaths, intuitives, energy workers and anyone who feels like they don't quite fit other places. There are teachers here who will help you see your gifts and celebrate the brilliance of you. It's a gentle place to learn a lot of new things that will support the beginning of an amazing career. If it sounds like this campus is a good fit, you're so lucky, because Theresa onboards new students and she's the gem that made me realize Redding might just be the perfect fit for me.

I loved my time at NHI. We were doing classes during lockdown, the school did absolutely everything they could to get as close to regular as they could given the circumstances. There wasn't a single person working there that didn't want us to succeed. I can't say enough good things about NHI. If you want an amazing school experience and wonderful education please do whatever you can to go to this school it is totally worth the effort.

I just graduated from NHI, and it was the best decision I've made in a long time to start the program. I really didn't think I could complete the whole 12 month program, but with all the support of the teachers, mentors, and other staff, I was able to fly through the program with a 4.0 GPA and excellent attendance, and had an amazing time. The hybrid learning also made it possible for me to do this, and I still learned everything just like I was there in person. Not to mention you get massaged regularly throughout the program!

The Spring Of 2018 change my life forever. It changed because I made the decision to look into this amazing school. Hesitant at first because of my busy schedule as a Certified Nurses Assistant I wondered could I work and go to school full time? The answer is YES! This school has a flexible schedule anyone can work with. So I went for it! Working full time and going to school full time + Externship. Enduring the Carr fire Together as a family & helping the community where we could. Setting up all of the open houses to raise money and support our first responders was an amazing experience. At the near end of my senior segment I made the decision with a fellow classmate/friend to open our private practice Body Recalibration Massage Therapy. 8 months later & 800+ hours finished, we made it! With the bittersweet goodbye & friendships/family to last a lifetime it was time to go our separate ways. Now I have successfully retained clients Over the last year and a half. Multiple Contracts with local businesses for massages. And continued education as a Bellanina Facelift Massage Practitioner. All of this was possible because of this school. But mainly the Redding, CA campus! The instructors and guidance that is shared in this location can make anyone successful. 2 1/2 years later and I now have current students from NHI coming to Body Recalibration Massage Therapy to learn more in a different setting. I enjoy working and learning how each individual has a different massage style. Yesterday was the last day with my student and I couldn’t be more proud of how far she has come. She applied such dedication over the last 8 months, even with the COVID pandemic. All of this was possible because of the dedication to NHI. It was the best decision I have made. It opened my heart and eyes to the world of Massage Therapy and I am forever grateful. Shila Jones CMT, BFMP owner of Body Recalibration Massage Therapy

I attended National Holistic Institute as a student in Massage Therapy on the (then) San Francisco Campus in 2010 and have worked at the NHI Redding Campus since 2016. I had always dreamt of a career in Massage Therapy and the healing arts. After doing my research on MT schools in the area of the SF Bay, I decided to attend NHI and turn my dream into a reality. Shortly after graduating from NHI, I became a Certified MT and worked at a high-end sports club in San Francisco. Not long after, I traveled to India to study additional education in alternative body therapies. NHI opened my eyes and heart to the career I had longed for. I appreciate and value my education from NHI so much. I have career I love in the field of Massage Therapy, and having a NHI location in Redding is so amazing. NHI Redding offers the high value education and career services support I experienced as a student in SF, as well as having the added benefit of resources such as a Learning Resource Center (LRC) to study and print materials as needed on site. I can't tell you how much I love NHI. I love that I was able to meet like-minded humans, interested in holistic and alternative health. I love being a part of the NHI family. I love that my best friend was the maid-of-honor at my wedding a couple of years ago, and that we met in seated circle at Orientation on the SF Campus. I am forever grateful to NHI for introducing me to a community of support and friendship in the Massage Therapy community. Forever 5 stars.
