🌿 Massage Therapy Alumni Spotlight: Tawnya Coia
📍
🎓 Core Program Graduate
👩‍🏫 Massage Instructor at Serenity Academy of Massage

Tawnya Coia didn’t just start a career—she launched a mission to help others heal. After graduating from NHI Studio City, she hit the ground running:

💬 “NHI has such a successful program that you graduate ready to tackle the industry head on.”

From working at Hand & Stone in California to starting a thriving mobile massage business in Tennessee, Tawnya built a name for herself as “the massage lady who comes to your house.” She even brought her newborn along to sessions—because her clients loved and supported her that much.

💬 “It only took a few weeks before my books were full. Word spread like wildfire.”

Today, she’s living her dream teaching Pathology and technique classes at a local massage school, passing on the skills, confidence, and love for this work that she found at NHI.

💬 “You meet people you connect with for life… Take the jump and start a career you will love.” 💚

🌟 Massage Therapy Student Spotlight: Alyssa Molina 🌟
📍 NHI Sacramento
🎓 Core Program Graduate | Current ANMT Program Student
💆‍♀️ Group 70

For Alyssa Molina, the path to massage therapy was clear from the start.

💬 “I was always curious about the human body — how it works, how it heals, and how we carry so much physically and emotionally.”

That curiosity led her to NHI Sacramento, where she found not just education, but personal transformation.

💬 “I’ve learned so much — not just about massage techniques or anatomy — but about people and myself more than anything.”

Alyssa gained confidence and real-world experience through extra clinic hours, internship, and work study—making the most of every opportunity.

Now, she’s dreaming big. Whether she’s starting her own business or working in a spa in Hawaii, she’s walking through the doors NHI helped open with purpose and pride.

💬 “NHI opened so many doors for me — and I’m walking through them with confidence.”

✨ Her advice for future students:
“DO IT! You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!”
