study with us

Welcome to the School of Natural Medicine UK & USA

Our warm and welcoming school is founded on a rich tradition of pure naturopathy and preventative medicine, offering industry-leading academic online courses alongside skills-based Immersion Trainings in Cheltenham, UK and Boulder, Colorado, USA. Each of our courses are professionally accredited and each student is individually mentored through their studies.

Established in 2007

School of Natural Medicine was founded in Devon, United Kingdom in 2007 on the principles of pure Naturopathy, which incorporates a holistic approach to the treatment and prevention of mind-body imbalances that lead to disease. 

We seek to educate students in an authentic system of natural medicine that can be traced to the teachings of Stoicism in ancient Greece, and that was incorporated into a system of medicine by Hippocrates, widely regarded as the father of modern medicine. 

The first principle of Natural Medicine, as stated in the Hippocratic Oath, is ‘Do No Harm.’ 

This core foundation is integrated with advances in the fields of nutrition, psychoneuroimmunology, heart-brain coherence, epigenetics, phytochemical research, and holistic anatomy and physiology. 

Our Natural Physician Diploma program is in alignment with the World Health Organisation definition and guidelines for Naturopaths; a definition that was created through the contributions of more than 274 reviewers, including experts and national authorities, as well as professionals and non-governmental agencies.

Naturopathy is a profession that is practiced throughout the world, with Eastern and Western Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Russia, India and the United States having the highest numbers of practicing naturopaths. 

Naturopathy is classified as a traditional medicine and has evolved, since ancient times, as a deeply rooted part of European natural medicinal systems. 

From Europe, Naturopathy has found its way, with the founding fathers of the United States and the Commonwealth, to all parts of the world settled by those of European descent. 

Naturopathy is a discipline of accumulated knowledge of effective natural therapies, diet, herbs and lifestyle in practice, and does not have a single originator. It is a part of our heritage. 

We invite you to join us on one of our diploma or advanced diploma courses in Boulder, Colorado or Cheltenham UK, and begin your journey toward creating a life out of what you love!

Natural Physician Diploma Graduate

“When I enrolled my focus was on the end goal of graduating and opening my own practice, but I received so much more. The journey was immensely enriching on all levels and I've developed skills through working on the assignments that I will continue to benefit from through the rest of my life. This is the way education should be and I so appreciate the immense treasure that you have given me.”
