Finally i want to commend Keersha on the environment she provided as it was a wonderful, warm and comforting place to learn.

I had my first session with Mark yesterday for chronic hip and neck/shoulder pain. His…read moremanipulation and deep tissue techniques offered a whole new approach to the many failed massages, chiro, and acupuncture treatments I've had over the years searching for relief. Mark is kind, personable, and has a gentle approach, but also knows when and where to apply targeted intense pressure. The stretching of my body's tissues and bones felt amazing... I think I might be a bit taller! I'm sure I will require repeat visits to release the decades of stored trauma and muscle constrictions, but our first session was impressive and provided some relief encouraging me to return for more.

There are plenty of schools out there, but we only hire students that have completed the basic course, from NHI. While the neuromuscular program is great knowledge, it's not a good fit for our clients, in practice. Our clients like therapists with a great grasp on anatomy, kinesiology along with Swedish and Deep Tissue knowledge. The basic course at NHI is a perfect fit.

I put massage into the universe, and I started seeing the NHI adds. I attended the online open house. I fell in love with the program, but I was intimidated by the anatomy and kinesiology part because I've taken anatomy before at the JC and I struggled. Intimidated, until Gabriel (my mentor at NHI) started talking about it. You can tell he had passion and excitement for teaching these subjects because he started to get emotional. That's when I knew this program was for me. My mentors are incredible. My mentors and David (campus manager), thank you. Thank you for making this a go with the flow process. Thank you for teaching your unique styles of massage. Thank you for always being there and for always saying, "there is no such thing as a stupid or silly question." Time sure does fly when you're having fun. I am leaving NHI with confidence and knowledge. I am also excited for interviews, which is something I thought I would never say. Mariah.

I, too, (to echo a previous reviewer) have been getting massage/bodywork for more than 45 years and know a good practitioner when I find one! I got the help/pain relief that I imagined might exist somewhere, and also that nice overall feeling of relaxation that a good massage can produce. Convenient location, easy parking....I am grateful, and will return.

However, I'm thrilled to say my search is finally over. Why? Because I found Steph at Serenity and she is terrific! Okay, first things first... As a guy, I'm usually indifferent to ambiance, but the place is extremely clean, smells great and overall has a nice inviting atmosphere. Next, I've had many massages throughout Northern and Southern California over many years. I can tell when someone cares about you and when they are just going through the motions. Steph truly cares. She is professional, strong, and knows how to work out tension, sore muscles, and leave you feeling great! Each time I've left I feel so much better and so relaxed I almost feel I should wait for a while before I drive! If you've had a great massage in the past, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you haven't, well, it's time to see Steph! Highest possible recommendation!
