I chose CSNN because even though I had done tons of research on other institutes and schools that were closer to home, CSNN was the most positively reviewed and reputable school for holistic nutrition recognized in Canada! I had been back and forth for YEARS on whether or not to take the plunge and lean into my passion for health and wellness to learn to turn it into a career, and if I was going to do it I wanted to do it with the best! After going to the open house and meeting all the feeling the warm welcome and positive vibes from the staff there I instantly knew CSNN was where I wanted to be and the community I wanted to be a part of. What drew me to the natural nutrition program was the way the courses were laid out and how they seem to connect into each continuing class and course in a cohesive manner. I really enjoy the that not only were the courses laid out in an understandable format for knowledge but also that there would be workshops to know how to integrate the knowledge with hands on learning!! I really appreciated that there were options for learning as well, full time or part time, morning or evening which gives so much room for flexibility and makes it seem so much more possible to do when fitting it in with a busy lifestyle and personal working hours!

My story with holistic healing starts with my mother. She was dealing with multiple fibroids and when he doctor told her that she should just get a hysterectomy she went on a mission to try and find a way to heal them naturally, without having to undergo such serious surgery. She did a deep dive into books about women’s health and hormones, fibriods, anything that she could get her hands on and she would bring new bits of information to our family dinners. Eventually all this piqued my interest and I started doing my own research, and looking into how I could support my body better with food and some lifestyle changes. Which is what eventually lead me to finding CSNN. I loved the idea of an all-encompassing view of health that went beyond just treating issues as they come up without really looking deeply into the why behind those issues. I learned so much during my studies at CSNN which has helped me take my health to the next level and made me incredibly eager to go out and share that knowledge with friends, family and clients.
