The physician of the
future will first seek to understand a person’s
temperament, and then treat them with herbs, food, and
other appropriate methods. - Thomas A. Edison
This program teaches you how to integrate different
natural healing (naturopathic) therapies into appropriate
health programs. The emphasis will be learning dynamic
health counseling skills and how to individualize a holistic health program appropriate for the client's
unique needs. Through focused activity with intention—such
as counseling, prayer, meditation, nutrition, herbology,
exercise, relaxation, and massage—the soul
rises and is healed, and in turn sends healing power
into the body. Deep, long
term healing occurs when concerns are integratively
and holistically addressed—physically,
emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Please
note, NHI is non-dogmatic, does not promote any one
religious or spiritual path, and respects
individual choice.
