​
I chose The Nutrition and Herbal Collective for supervision because I wanted to learn more about herbs and a more holistic approach to nutrition. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I had a really good base of nutrition knowledge from my Clinical Nutrition Master's program, but putting it into practice is a whole other story! After a year with TNHC, I feel so much more confident in my nutrition practice. Each supervisor is so knowledgeable and every one has different approaches, making it so you get a variety of wealth of knowledge and expertise. I really don't have words to describe how valuable this program is and worth every penny. You also get so many materials you can use to work with clients!
