In addition to regular classroom instruction in natural nutrition, each student completes a minimum of 50 hours of mandatory practicals, out of approximately 100 hours offered to students. The main focus of the practicals is case study work, including follow-up case studies.
Practical work is completed under the supervision of a qualified holistic nutrition professional, through the presentation of case studies, role-playing, group studies and lectures by guest speakers. In these sessions, students have the opportunity to develop assessment and interviewing skills essential to success in the field of holistic nutrition.
Registration for these virtual workshops is also open to the public, so come join us in learning more about these unique topics!
The fee for non-students to attend is $35.00 + tax = $40.24 total. Students at our Branch attend most workshops for free!

“Obesity is a stigmatized disease due to pervasive personal, professional, institutional, and cultural weight bias. Individuals with obesity experience weight bias across their lifespan and settings, which can affect their life chances and significantly impact health and social outcomes” (Salas et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 2019).
The Canadian Medical Association recognized obesity as a chronic disease in 2015, and Ontario followed suit in 2020. A resolution recognizing obesity as a chronic disease within our province helps us to advocate for safe, effective and sustainable management that focuses on the root causes and management of the disease, with the intent to improve overall quality of life for people living with obesity. While we know that the root causes of obesity are varied, complicated, and run deep, we also know that weight (and weight loss for that matter) are not behaviours. While there are many behaviours that can improve overall health, there is simply no behaviour that will guarantee sustainable weight loss.
Many clients that a Registered Holistic Nutritionist will see have struggled with weight management for years, and have faced a great deal of weight bias and/or discrimination from their family, friends, complete strangers, health care practitioners and society as a whole.
If you hope to provide client-centered care that is free from weight bias and discrimination, please join Shawna for this workshop to learn more about how to work with individuals related to weight management, while providing compassionate care.
