Satya graduated as a Healing Diets Nutritional consultant in 2023 and has since developed her practice in Scotland and has launched a wonderful series of educational webinars and podcasts as well. You can find out more about her work through her website and Satya’s blog is a great place to explore some of Satya’s collaborations and webinars. Following is a lovely testimonial that Satya sent to me in April so that she could share her experience with those who are seeking a school to support them on their path to establishing a career in natural medicine.

“Making the decision to study at the School of Natural Medicine has been the best and most rewarding experiential learning of my life.

It has exceeded my professional expectations of the School and has led to me being part of the remarkable and distinguished lineage of natural health medicine pioneers of which Bonny Casel, the Director of the School is part of. 

I feel truly lucky to have come across the School and am so proud to have been a student.

The layout of the course really suited my learning style, which is exploratory, self led and experiential.

I have experienced the Healing Diets teachings and lessons to be authentic in their content and faithful to the principles of natural medicine. This was something that felt important to me as I wanted to move away from a “vitamin based supplement” approach to nutrition and really use food as medicine. As a consequence, I feel qualified, equipped and confident to guide, coach and support others holistically on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level, on their nutritional journey towards health and nurturing lifestyle choices 

I felt both challenged and supported by the School in developing my own research, understanding, learning and practice not just in Healing Diets but also through the immersion courses in Herbal Medicine, Quantum Botanicals, Iridology and Naturopathy, Healing Diets and Flower Essences. I really felt at “home” at the School as though I had found “my people” and “family”. 

I found the immersions to be extraordinary and deeply fascinating environments for deepening learning and knowledge, spending time with my peers and getting immediate access to Bonny’s wealth of experience, guidance and knowledge.

I felt surrounded and supported in my learning and questions by Bonny’s approachable and encouraging manner, and also by a stimulating group of like minded peers I could reach out to in an instant and meet online in the form of study groups and study buddy relationship.

I deeply valued developing self trust, intuition and putting into practice and applying those nuggets of natural medicine knowledge in my own life. This has been life changing and has resulted in my Consultant confirming that my disease was in remission.

Most importantly, studying with Bonny Casel and learning from her, has given me the foundations of health and nutritional literacy. My studies with her have taught me to understand that the solutions to health really are in plain sight, in nature.

I highly recommend studying at The School of Natural Medicine. It is an exciting, exceptional, rewarding, exquisitely delightful and stimulating professional experience, training and formation. I look forward to continuing the next instalment of my studies as a Natural Physician at the School.”
