WOW. thanks kimmi! now that is awesomely simplified, just what i needed. Thank you SOOOOO much! i see you are in that sort of field. are you enjoying it?? where do you study?
I will find out if i could do a one year add on after this course, then i can do that after if i want to, sounds good to me.
I'm studying at the Endeavour College of Natural Medicine. There are campuses all over the country as well as distance education. I'm thinking of transitioning to Nutrition from Naturopathy myself. I really do enjoy The Bachelor of Health Sciences, Naturopathy, but there are some minor diagnostic techniques that I don't / can't agree with. Of course I wouldn't ever have to use them in my practice, however I would probably have to use those techniques in the student clinic, and I couldn't do that with total honest commitment to the client.
I know I want to be in this field in some capacity. Naturopathy has a huge component of nutrition. I just don't know exactly how I am going to finish it.
Thats the place that is offering the course im looking at. Is it a good place? SO great to hear first hand from someone involved in something so similar. Do you want to have your own practice? that wasnt something i had thought about doing, but reading the info on this course it would qualify me to do that.
The amount of science etc involved is kind of freaking me out abit.
A lady is calling me on monday for a phone interview. but i wouldnt be able to start it for about six months yet. $$$$$
I think they have really great online facilities... Great lecturers. A world of information at your fingertips. I certainly find that the sciences are really indepth, and if you keep up with lectures and tutes, you will be fine. IF you were to get behind, well, catching up is difficult. Some subjects, such as Chemistry and Biochemistry for example probably require 12 hours a week at least, and thats just one subject. The thing is, you can study at your own pace.
I'm not entirely sure what I want out of it. I am primarily studying to get my own life back on track. Take control of my health and finally be in charge of me. I seem to have undergone a paradigm shift in my mentality, especially in the last few weeks - I can't be happier. As far as my own practice goes, yeah, I think I would like to look at that. I would like to team up with various health practitioners to create a whole body wellness centre.
