"I look forward to sharing my new knowledge and skills! I took the Natural Nutrition certification because I knew Heather had a track record of solid courses and a wealth of knowledge. I think I will always struggle with my own nutrition journey, but I love that I not only have the groundwork to continue to work on myself and learn new things, but also to help others with their wellness journeys."

Stephanie Nairn

Bellyfit Instructor, Natural Nutrition Coach

"I'm very excited that I can now offer those services and address all the aspects of good physical health. I had a lot of “aha” moments while taking that NNC course that allowed me to immediately apply the knowledge taught into practice. In particular, I really appreciated all the information on gut health and what large role it plays in our overall health and wellbeing.” 

Jesse Benjamin

Personal Trainer & Wellness Coach

"I highly recommend this course! I have taken other nutrition courses for CEC’s and had some basic information provided about nutrition with my Health Coaching certification. I really appreciate the handouts that are provided for me to share with my clients.   I have more confidence now when talking to clients about nutrition as a result of completing this course."
"Life Changing! I would highly recommend the NNC program to anyone in the health and wellness industry, as well as those who are not. I believe absolutely everyone can benefit from taking this course."

Your success is our success

Many students complete their education in nutrition but still don’t feel prepared to coach clients or launch a business. 

They keep taking courses, hoping the next one will finally give them the tools they need—often leaving frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck. 

That’s why we created a complete nutrition, coaching, and business program that shows you the exact steps to confidently build a thriving practice.
