Advanced Diploma Course
Master Iridologist
Authored by nature cure pioneer Farida Sharan, ND—author of the classic textbooks Iridology: A Complete Guide, Dictionary of Iridology, and Iridology Colouring Book—this program offers one of the most comprehensive Iridology educations in the world. The Master Iridologist Advanced Diploma encompasses a deep study of Iridology alongside Healing Diets and the Foundations of Natural Medicine. Learn to read the intricate visual language of the iris to assess inherent constitutional qualities, organ vitality, and pathways toward imbalance, while gaining the skills to educate, mentor, and guide individualized self-healing programs for your clients and students.
This advanced diploma brings together two world-class, fully authored curricula to provide a profound, vitalist foundation for holistic clinical practice.
The Iridology course is written by nature cure pioneer Farida Sharan, ND—author of the classic textbooks Iridology: A Complete Guide, Dictionary of Iridology, and Iridology Colouring Book. Through her deep wisdom, you will learn to read iris structure, density, color, and markings to assess inherent constitutional strengths, tissue vitality, and individual pathways toward imbalance.
We integrate this diagnostic insight directly with our comprehensive Healing Diets curriculum, authored by School Director Bonny Casel. Bonny’s deep, practical approach to therapeutic nutrition, living foods, transition diets, and organ cleanses equips you to create transformative, plant-based healing protocols tailored to each client's unique constitutional blueprint.
By combining Farida's pioneer work in iridology with Bonny's expertise in therapeutic nutrition and lifestyle medicine, you will learn to design highly effective individual preventative and restorative self-healing programs. Through mentored online scholarship and a hands-on clinical immersion, you will master iris analysis, refine your consultation skills, and step confidently into practice as a qualified Master Iridologist.
