Emeryville, California — National Holistic Institute: A College of Massage Therapy announces the acquisition of Bauman College, a leading provider of vocational programs in the fields of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts. NHI is excited to build upon the rich heritage of both organizations while expanding program offerings in online and in-person holistic health education, particularly during a time when public health is at the forefront of our national dialogue, and critical to our collective physical and economic well-being. People across all segments of our society are becoming increasingly aware that proper self-care is more important than ever to not only survive, but thrive in today’s world.
“We are thrilled about the acquisition and partnership with Bauman College. Bauman College’s reputation in the nutrition and holistic culinary world is second to none and makes for a great fit with NHI. The entire team at Bauman College has done a tremendous job and we’re looking forward to furthering that legacy in the years to come.” — Tim Veitzer, President, NHI
Bauman College founder, Dr. Ed Bauman, helped put the term “Holistic” on the map with his New York Times best-selling book, the Holistic Health Handbook (1977). Bauman College has trained over 10,000 holistic nutrition and culinary arts professionals over the course of 30 years. Dr. Bauman and colleagues founded the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) in 2005 as an industry organization to validate the credentials and define the national scope of practice for holistic nutrition professionals.
“Bauman College has always been a family endeavor. We are now joining the NHI family, who share similar values and goals. Together, we have greater bandwidth and potency to fulfill our mission and achieve a sustainable business model. We are thrilled our NHI programs will now afford students financial aid that was not previously available.” — Dr. Ed Bauman, Founder of Bauman College and Bauman Wellness
