The Natural Health Consultant (sometimes called a Natural Health Coach) can be thought of as a fountain of information for those who seek to effectively care for themselves, family, or clients. The NHC uses the client consult to consider the whole person, looking beyond presenting symptoms to uncover the root cause of dis-ease. This assessment is the basis for educating each individual client and for recommending natural, modalities such as dietary changes; vitamins, minerals, and other supplements; stress reduction; and herbal remedies in conjunction with alternative approaches to healing.
Where do Natural Health Consultants work?
There are many options. These days, it is becoming more and more common for consultants to work out of a professional holistic wellness suite. A wellness suite is a group of specialized professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, etc., who recognize there are gaps in the services they provide for their clients. Other natural health consultants choose to have an office of their own in a business complex, store front, or perhaps out of their own home.
Real Time: Led by Sharlene Peterson every 4-6 weeks, Real Time is a live, open-discussion meeting that is held online. Come and collect clinical “pearls,” as well as ask questions and engage in a variety of health-related conversations.

Accreditation: Graduates of the our Natural Health Consultant course are eligible to apply for Board Certification with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. Board Certification is voluntary – not required. You may freely consult with clients as long as you do not “diagnose or treat”.

This is an excellent opportunity for student exposure to the thought processes that support the “holistic” aspect of their diploma program. Further recommendations, for supporting the healing processes of the specific clients featured in these case studies, have been added to the end of each presentation for your consideration.
Each case study is available as an audio/video and includes a PDF with complete class notes, the symptom form, and supplement recommendation form. Each case study will take about an hour and covers a real past client. For privacy, names and identifiable information has been changed.

Natural Health Consultant (NHC) Course
While Natural Health Consultants are not licensed medical practitioners, Medical or Naturopathic Doctors, Chiropractors, Nurses, and other licensed practitioners may choose to become NHC’s simply because of the health-promoting nutritional and natural health information. Many practitioners find that food nutrients, supplements, and herbal remedies have a profound effect on their patients, reducing the need for pharmaceuticals and other medical services and procedures, while enhancing patient recovery time.
The Genesis School of Natural Health developed the Natural Health Consultant course to contain the natural health studies needed to serve a wide variety of clients and/or family members facing health challenges. Therefore, it provides a broad, foundational understanding of nutrition, supplements, gentle–yet–effective alternative therapies, and much, much more. It is an excellent stand-alone course or is particularly powerful when selected as a double-diploma in conjunction with the Master Herbalist program.
