Question – I’m thinking about studying holistic nutrition. Which school did you go to? What does a Registered Holistic Nutritionist do exactly? Amy, Halifax NS

Rachelle’s answer : I’m so glad you asked! Registered Holistic Nutritionists are educated nutrition consultants who encourage consuming food in its purest form. They can help you build a healthier diet that respects your unique body chemistry, personal preferences and lifestyle. They can guide you to a slimmer body by designing up a customized dietary approach for day to day living. Many RHNs have also studied other holistic therapies, for example I have also studied Iridology. Check out this youtube video where I answer questions about Holistic Nutrition.

The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition is Canadas leading and largest school of study. Graduates are ready for the workforce and often seek employment in fitness centers, health clubs, spas, diet centers, or may choose self employment. The college has 11 locations across the country and I am an instructor for the Moncton location and a honors graduate of CSNN Halifax, 2002. I've also taught workshops at CSNN Ottawa and CSNN Toronto.

When you’re looking for a nutrition coach, it's important to find someone EDUCATED and EXPERIENCED.

As the Maritime Director for our Aulmni Association, my job is to raise awareness about our profession and holistic approach to nutrition. Our clients are treated as individuals and given customized programs to follow.  Holistic Nutritionists can assist you to improve your quality of health and monitor your progress along the way. You will lose weight through dietary education and lifestyle enhancement. Why would you trust your health and wellness to anyone else?

Some health care medical insurance providers cover the cost of nutritional counseling with Registered Holistic Nutritionists. Talk to your insurance provider about your policy.
