Important NHI Student Massage Clinic Policies:

• The massages offered at NHI are for therapeutic purposes only. Therefore, any sexually implicit behavior will result in the immediate termination of the session for which no refund will be given. Furthermore, we will no longer allow you to be a client of the NHI Teaching Clinic.

• Any client under 18 years old is required to have a parent/guardian present in the cubicle for the duration of the massage. If the parent/guardian is also receiving a massage the minor will be assigned to a cubicle adjacent to that of the parent/guardian and the curtain between the cubicles will be open.

Business Policies:

• 24 hour cancellation policy, or a $10 fee is levied.


• A confirmation call or e-mail from NHI is solely a courtesy; the client is responsible for keeping the appointment with or without a confirmation call.


• This is a Teaching Clinic, and a Teacher or other student may enter the cubicle to observe your Student Therapist's work.


• The Clinic is an NHI class, and student absences may occur which may cause your session to be cancelled. If that happens, you will be given $10 off your next appointment.


• Massage sessions will end at the scheduled time, even if you are late in arriving.


• You pay full price even if you are late, and your session may be cancelled if you are more than 10 minutes late.
