A Family-Run Wellness College
NAKH Collective is Alberta's oldest massage therapy training college, a South Edmonton wellness clinic, and a growing education centre for English, IT, and holistic practice. One pack. Four paths. Same values since 1994.
Not a student number. A pack.
NAKH Collective unites the college formerly known as NAKH Institute of Education with the wellness clinic formerly known as NAKH Integrated Wellness. Training, massage, holistic services, and products now live under one family-run organization.
Karim Kanji founded the school after conventional medicine could not give his family the answers they needed for their son. He learned reflexology, aromatherapy, and massage, blended that with his technical training from NAIT, and built a clinical massage college so other people could learn the same work. Nevin kept the business honest, organized, and standing. Their children Aliana, Hussain, and Hussain's wife Nerissa now run operations, curriculum, technology, and student life beside them.
"We are here because we actually care. We could have sold out long ago, but we have stayed true to our values." — Karim Kanji
The wolf in our logo is not decoration. Wolves work in packs. So do we.
What Nevin wants every student to know
Integrity
We go through the student contract line by line before you sign. Your rights if you withdraw are not hidden in fine print.
Honesty
We tell international students clearly that Private Career College graduates are not eligible for a PGWP. We would rather lose a signup than mislead someone.
Transparency
Tuition, refunds, class sizes, and job outcomes are published. If we can implement a student request the same day, we do.
