Been coming here for years. I love it. It is a teaching environment so it’s not private rooms but private spaces separated by privacy curtains. So if you are expecting a full spa experience go to a spa. If you just need a solid massage for a great price it’s perfect. Many of the students are simultaneously externing or working at high end spas at the same time.

I got a massage today and it exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t really sure what to except coming to a school but I was pleasantly surprised. The front desk personnel were very polite and welcoming. My therapist was very professional and thorough while maintaining consistent pressure throughout the entire massage. She continued to check in with me to make sure I was comfortable and my needs were being met. I can’t recommend coming here enough!

The entire process has been so welcoming and positive while maintaining a professional atmosphere and expectation. There is no question that if students embrace the experience they will have the tools for long term success. Anyone seriously interested in a long term career in Massage Therapy will thrive at NHI.

Just had my first massage at this school and I was very impressed. When I walked in I was greeted immediately by the students working the reception area. Then my therapist Tiffany came and introduced herself with a warm friendly smile. We talked about the areas which I have problems with and she let me know what her plan of action was. The massage room was quiet and peaceful. She had excellent communication with me regarding the pressure and letting me know when my time was about to be up. Afterwards she walked me to the front desk and thanked me. I highly recommend her, the staff, the students and the massage clinic. I will definitely be recommending the school/massage clinic to friends and family.

NHI is a fantastic place to pursue a career in massage therapy. The instructors are highly skilled and dedicated to providing top-notch training. The campus itself is well-equipped and creates a welcoming environment for students and clients. NHI (Santa Ana) also offers a variety of programs and workshops to help students gain a comprehensive understanding of massage techniques and practices. My experiences with NHI were great and I met a lot of awesome people ( instructors and students). The management staff( Christine, Jade, Yuli and Mariella) is amazing and they assisted me from signing up process through certification. Also the highly skilled and friendly instructors ( Karen, Joseph, Jason, and others) that have shared their knowledges and advices. I’m going to miss this school. Sebastian from group 80

NHI changed the way I viewed massage therapy. I went from seeing it as a luxury to a valuable part of recovery and overall health. They helped me see how much a difference I could make in being a well educated/trained massage therapist. The ANMT Program has definitely made my resume stand out to various employers which has given me multiple options for employment. It prepared me to work in any setting.

I found NHI at the perfect time. Being a former college graduate with an unfulfilling career I was looking for something new. Yes this school is more expensive than other massage schools just like diamonds are more expensive than cubic zirconia. This school provides: Small classroom environment where you are treated and respected as an individual with the attention needed. A faculty currently active in the field and up to date with information. Opportunities for scholarships. A list of techniques and knowledge not taught in other schools. The option to continue onto the neuromuscular program which is run by someone considerably prominent in the field. I have found an entire community of support and structure where I can use my critical thinking skills while at the same time not feel like I’m being judged when I have a more difficult time with academic heavy material. This place has given me a career where we go “aw shucks, playtime is over” when the client leaves our room. It’s an honor to be a graduate of this program. Thank you, NHI for the pebble of hope, change, healing, and respect you’ve dropped into the world. You ripples far are beyond what we could ever comprehend.

I graduated from NHI in July of 2017, and ever since then, Sue Duran my career counselor has been the biggest help ever!! I would not know where to begin without her, especially regarding all the massage possibilities during this pandemic. My relationship with Sue has been one I will consider golden for many many Many years to come I feel. NhI has been the best investment of my life, so far, & Sue's warm, caring, motherly guidance has propelled my career so far better than I could have ever imagined!

I am currently a student at NHI and I love this school. The instructors truly care for our success and want to see us improve in our education. Since this is a holistic school, we don't only learn about how massage affects the body, but also how it affects the spirit as well. If you are considering becoming a massage therapist, I HIGHlY recommend this school.

You get what you pay for and then some. This is my alternative to college and I feel more at home here than any college class I previously took. The learning style here was far superior. The groups are close-knit and the professors are very willing for personalized learning. 10/10 would recommend.

NHI changed my life!! You get exactly what you want to get out of this school…sometimes even more. Originally, all I wanted was a little side hustle to make some extra $$. What I got was an AMAZING career that I absolutely love! I transitioned full time in Massage therapy about a year ago after completing both the core and neuromuscular programs. I now work for 2 fantastic chiropractors and get to help my patients everyday who suffer from chronic pain. I have been able to assist my dr.s and collaborate with them to help our patients significantly decrease pain, regain ROM, posture correction…What other career do you literally get to be the best part of someone’s day!?!? It’s extremely validating to hear someone tell you that your a key component to their healing process. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this school (this campus in particular) and ALL of the mentors here🤍

Best teachers! Great community! and Great education and very comprehensive curriculum! I would recommend this school to anyone pursuing Massage Therapy! and HIGHLY Recommend the Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy Program. I have been asked by physicians if i was a Naturopathic Doctor because of the knowledge the course has given me. Also have been able to start my own Buisness and help so many people with chronic pains, injury rehab. People are blown away by the level of education that I have! I am Super thankful to all the staff down at NHI

I had an encounter with some students at my chiropractors office offering massage therapy.. I was astounded and marveled by the professionalism in all aspects specially by the young lady named Kathryn 'B' ( knowing how the muscles and tendons worked in tandem throughout the body) and also the professionalism in character defining the institute she represents...(I can say a well trained therapist is the better half of the chiropractors visit) -satisfied " patient-client"

Why do I select NHI graduates ? I know the training and education NHI grads have received is outstanding against the rest. The students are infused with a Massage Therapist way of life.

Why do you hire grads from NHI? We love interviewing candidates from NHI because we know they will be well prepared, and their skills will closely match what our clients are looking for at Massage Envy. The care and attention that students get at NHI shows in the quality of their hands-on skill. What is the benefit of more educational hours? In short, more education = more commitment! One quality that shows up in every exceptional therapist is "curiosity". Curiosity comes from having passion for what you do. The more a therapist is interested in their craft, the more curious they will be as to how and why the human body behaves, and that means they will naturally strive for more and more education. Quality therapists come to realize that building on their education will help set them apart as a trusted health professional for their clients. Great therapists never stop educating!

I graduated from aesthetic school and I wanted to accentuate my business so I thought about massage therapy. After searching online for massage therapy schools NHI popped up. I gave them a call and set up a tour. I went to the school and said wow the people here are wonderful. Walking into this place felt like home, right then and there I knew that this was the place I needed to be, and this was the school I needed to go to.
