What makes your program different from other nutrition trainings?
Simply put, what you learn in this training is hard to find. Most trainings focus only on memorizing nutrition facts and the same old and tired ways to get healthier - eat better, eat less, and exercise more. This approach however, has failed, because it neglects the fundamental emotional, spiritual and psychological issues that are going on for your clients. While understanding the biochemical implications of health is essential, without the ability to go deeper with your clients, the results you facilitate for them will be limited.
How would you describe the Training in the simplest of terms?
- Practical - the Training is rich
in skills, techniques and protocols that build your confidence as a
practitioner
- Powerful - the work is deep, real,
immediate, and goes to the core of what ails our relationships with
food, body and health.
- Soulful - our whole approach is
grounded in the richness of the soul, and the teachings of timeless
wisdom traditions that view human affairs from a greater, more artful
and compassionately loving reality
- Scientific - the Training is rooted
in the kind of nutritional and medical knowledge that's clear, concise,
and clinically useful
- Intuitive - in addition to exercising
your cognitive muscles, you'll honor and strengthen your intuitive ones
as well
- Transformational - the Training is designed to assist you in your own alchemical growth and healing, which truly qualifies us more deeply as a healer and counselor of others
What kind of professionals enroll in your Training?
All types. The typical student in my class has a burning desire to fill-in the missing piece in their nutrition education: How to work with clients on a deeper, soul level to ultimately create more consistent and profound results in their work.
They are dedicated, inquisitive, and bold enough to pay for an education that steps into the frontiers of healing. Participants in this Training truly want to help others, and are comfortable with being pioneers in health and transformation.
Many participants of my Tele-class training program have some client experience (whether in their 1st or 20th year in practice) Others are still in their professional development stage and wanting to learn more before they are comfortable seeing clients. That said, the professionals I work with include:
- Nutritionists
- Dieticians
- Health coaches
- Health educators
- Holistic health counselors
- Life coaches
- Mental health professionals
- Psychologists and Psychiatrists
- Personal trainers
- Physical therapists
- Transpersonal counselors
- Teachers in the healing and movement arts: Yoga, Pilates, NIA, etc...
What if I don't see my profession on this list?
Chances are, if you're doing work in the health, nutrition or lifestyle transformation field, and you're interested in understanding how to work with clients on a deeper, soul level and how to integrate this approach with your training, this Tele-class will benefit you. If you're not sure, contact me and I'll be glad to have a brief conversation with you to see if this program is a match for your needs.
