History of Bauman College
Bauman College has been a national leader in holistic nutrition and integrative health education since its founding in 1989. With a strong emphasis on the groundbreaking ideas of Dr. Ed Bauman, the college is dedicated to individual and collective healing through high-quality vocational programs in integrative nutrition and culinary arts.
Bauman College’s graduates are distinguished by their comprehensive knowledge and broad awareness, enabling them to bring holistic healing to individuals and society. Since joining the National Holistic Institute (NHI) family in August 2020, Bauman College has expanded its reach and impact in the field of holistic health education.
Our Vision
In keeping with Bauman College’s mission of healing, we are committed to broadening our impact by addressing inequalities in access to food, education, and healthcare, which underlie health disparities in our society. Our vision is to expand our integrative health education offerings, preparing future leaders, thinkers, and creators in the integrative health industry through a rigorous curriculum and comprehensive career guidance. NHI builds upon the rich heritage of both organizations, providing visionary direction in the field of holistic wellness education.
Our Core Beliefs
At Bauman College, we strive to set ourselves apart from other schools by creating a culture and environment where all students and staff feel safe to express, contribute and learn.
- Positive Energy Flowing
When we lead with positivity, gratitude, and intention, we create a ripple effect that uplifts everyone around us and nourishes their minds. Healing begins with the energy we bring into the space, whether in person or online. - Building Confidence & Creating Opportunity
Empowerment comes from learning to trust your hands, your voice, and your knowledge. Mastering each skill, whether through touch or food, opens doors to purpose-filled, life-changing careers. - Empty Cups & Full Journeys
Growth requires humility. By releasing assumptions and welcoming new knowledge, we create space for true transformation, one breath, one lesson, and one recipe at a time. - Telling the Truth With Compassion
Healing happens when honesty meets empathy. Whether giving feedback, guiding a student, or interacting with a colleague, we lead with integrity, kindness, and the courage to speak the truth with care. - Providing Safe Space
Authentic learning and healing thrive in environments of safety and belonging. We create spaces on campus and online where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected. - Teamwork Making the Dream Work
When we work together, we achieve more, grow faster, and have more fun. Collaboration enhances connection, creativity, and results, both in our learning and our practice. - Sustainability Through Kaizen
Significant change begins with small steps. Through consistent, daily improvements in technique, awareness, and intention, we build lives and practices rooted in sustainability and service. - Creativity & Consistency
Healing is both an art and a discipline. Innovation matters, and our steady commitment to excellence earns trust and makes a lasting difference. - Every Body Has a Story
Each person we meet carries a unique narrative in their body. We listen with presence, using hands, hearts, and healing meals to support their next chapter. - Embracing Tiger
By courageously meeting the present moment, we reduce stress and reclaim peace. The challenges we face are not barriers. They are invitations to become stronger, more centered, and more compassionate.
