What OurStudents Say

I changed my career

I became fascinated by the healing power of nature after spending time at a detox retreat in Thailand… I loved the Natural approach

which meant that I also gained an understanding of other therapies and diagnostic tools such as iridology and Bach Flower remedies, which I have incorporated into my patient care since graduating. I now have an incredible busy career. Alongside my private practice I write nutritional advice for a magazine and I act as a nutritional consultant for a well known supplement company. I also teach nutritional concepts to adults in community based learning centres and I guest speak at nutrition workshops.”

I like high academic standards

I’ve enjoyed the whole experience, including the high academic standards and their very hands-on approach to the practical skills

needed. My family in India are part of a spiritual Hindu organisation that runs its own hospital, so there’ll be plenty of opportunity for me to put my knowledge to good use when I graduate. There’s no shortage of people anywhere in the world who could use some help with their health.”

I wanted to do something meaningful

After spending 8 years in property development, I wanted to do something which would utilise my interest in natural medicine.

I tried a couple of correspondence courses on the subject but they didn’t work out because I’m better at face-to-face learning.”

“I was delighted to study part-time as I had to fit in study around my work and growing family. After graduating I practiced my skills in a medical centre, but I got so busy that I set up my own clinic. I’ve even been on a TV health programme. I’m so lucky to be living my dream. It’s such rewarding work, watching patients going through amazing healing.”
