Highlights
Two-Tiered Education Path
This school has a very unique and advantageous tiered program structure. We are the only holistic nutrition school that provides a two-tiered education path from a health coach to a holistic nutritionist.
Each of our programs combines holistic nutrition, integrative health, coaching, and business to ensure you have the tools you need to succeed.
We are committed to fostering an educational environment that’s as engaging as it is thorough. The curriculum is delivered via a user-friendly, simple-to-use online platform, allowing you to work through your studies on your schedule, anywhere in the world.
Accredited Curriculum
Our accredited curriculum meets the highest industry designation standards, including the RHNC and RHNP designations, in addition to Board Certification.
Our curriculum is rooted in both practical and evidence-based practices that respect the connection between body, mind, and spirit, giving students the tools to confidently support client health journeys.
You can think of some of it as lecture notes straight from the practices of Holistic Nutritionists, Nutrition Coaches, and Naturopaths. Strategies that work and information you won’t always find in textbooks.
