I chose CSNN because of its well rounded approach to holistic nutrition, taking into consideration the mind and body, as factors that affect our everyday wellbeing along with our nutrition. As a certified mindfulness practitioner, the holistic approach was extremely important to me. CSNN’s content was extremely insightful, alongside the practical learning I drew from my peers and instructors. The ability to do the course online was also incredible, as it enabled me to keep up with my work and family, while completing the course and I could do it from almost anywhere.
