His journey is a testament to the power of pursuing your passions and the life-changing impact of holistic education.
A Veteran’s Transformation from Combat Medic to Holistic Healer
“I was a Combat Veteran Airborne Medic in the Army for four years, and I had sworn off of working on patients,” Brian reveals. However, his experience at NHI completely changed his perspective.
“The school has changed my perspective on learning,” he says. “I went from being the person complaining about having to take a class or training into a now life-long learner.”
Finding a New Purpose and Community
Brian’s transformation extends beyond his professional life. “This school has given me a new reason to live and thrive in my life,” he explains. “I have learned to set boundaries and work through my problems with real efficiency and an opened heart. I was ready to die in the parking lot every day in my previous career. I couldn’t see any chance for a positive future. Now I am excited for my new career and to see who it turns me into as a human. I found my people. I found an extension of my family.”
A Path to Continued Growth with NHI’s ANMT and AAS Degree Programs
Brian’s commitment to learning and personal growth is evident in his decision to continue his education at NHI. “I am now in the ANMT Program after finishing the Core Program,” he says, “I also plan on doing the Associates of Applied Science Degree Program as well.”
The NHI Difference | A Supportive and Transformative Environment
Brian chose NHI for its comprehensive program and convenient location. “I really liked what the program provides, and also it’s close to where I live,” he explains.
His most memorable takeaway from the Core Program is deeply personal. “Learning to breathe and that I am worthy,” he shares.
