Natural Physician
The Natural Physician Professional Diploma Course offered by the School of Natural Medicine UK offers the integrated study of the complete system of Natural Medicine that we teach. Five Online Certification Courses are included in Natural Physician Professional Diploma studies, encompassing a full range of healing modalities for physical, mental and emotional healing. Students also attend all five 5 day Immersion Trainings, alongside the experiential Self Healing module.
All students begin their Diploma Course studies by enrolling in the Online Certification Course. Immersions are then enrolled in at your own pace, as you progress with your studies. You do not need to enrol on or pay for your Immersion Trainings, until you are ready to do so. Immersion Trainings can be undertaken in any order and at your own pace. Each Immersion is offered on alternate years. Once you have completed each Online Certification Course, you will receive professional certification and upon completion of relevant Immersion Trainings and the Self-Healing Module, you will then graduate with each course diploma (see below), culminating in achieving your Natural Physician diploma.

Kind Words
“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.”

The Natural Physician course combines training in pure Naturopathy with the latest research in diet and nutrition, phytonutrients, psychoneuroimmunology, epigentics, heart-brain coherence, vibrational medicine, quantum physics, chaos theory and fractal progression.
The four primary forms of plant medicine
are taught in-depth:
Students learn a wide range of supportive naturopathic therapies and embark on a comprehensive study of iridology; a form of iris analysis that provides information about systemic strengths and weaknesses, mind-body dynamics, hemisphere dominance and processing, inherent constitution strengths and weaknesses and more, providing the foundation for creating highly effective, personalised self healing programmes. Each student is personally mentored by Bonny Casel as they progress through their studies. This is a comprehensive professional course that provides a superb foundation for effective practice.
The Natural Physician Online Certification Studies are accredited by AADP. Upon graduation, students receive the Master Herbalist, Master Iridologist, Healing Diets Nutritional Consultant, Quantum Botanicals Advanced, Naturopathy and Natural Physician diplomas. When students complete all modules and Immersion Trainings for the Natural Physician Professional Diploma, they also qualify as board certified Alternative Medical Practitioner with the AAMA. Graduates can obtain practice insurance through Westminster Insurance.

Immersion details
The Healing Diets Immersion is a delicious, delightful hands-on education in raw food preparation that provides the foundation for inspired, creative use of therapeutic nutrient dense foods.
Students participate in establishing the rhythms of a living food kitchen, including sprouting and fermentation, a range of dehydrating projects, juicing, green drinks, raw desserts, sauces, nut and seed butters, and much more.
Over the course of 5 days, food preparation moves from cleansing to health building, culminating in gourmet raw food preparation. Exploration of culinary herbs and spices add to this foundation for increased flavour, support for health issues and focused balancing of the doshas. Each day students prepare and enjoy a living foods feast, along with a range of lightly cooked vegan dishes.
Practical time in the kitchen is interspersed with lectures that explore different facets of the material taught in the Healing Diets and Quantum Botanicals online courses, with a focus on integrating healing diets studies with mind-body healing and evolution of consciousness.
In this Immersion you will learn the skills to bring magic and inspiration into your relationship with food, along with the foundation to share this knowledge with others.
"From the deepest part of me I thank you for the Healing Diets Immersion; I had a truly wonderful experience in your beautiful home, in wonderful landscape, preparing and eating incredible food with such inspiring people. Those few weeks have become a refuge to return to in my mind, a true source of inspiration."
Emma Turner Healing Diets Nutritional Consultant student
Healing Diets Immersion
The Herbal Medicine Immersion focuses on the core practice, consultation and programme creation skills required for effective practice.
Consultation skills are developed in alignment with the principles of Naturopathic practice; thus training students how to establish a genuinely holistic patient-practitioner relationship. Practice and Pharmacy administration protocols and development are also explored, with the opportunity for students to refine their vision for their future practice.
Knowledge of the medicinal and nutritive properties of herbs in clinical practice is grounded alongside systemic anatomy and physiology, diet, lifestyle and supportive therapies, so that students approach programme creation holistically and within the context of the unique lives of their clients.
"The Herbal Medicine Immersion was wonderful! I felt I was living in another world. An invaluable knowledge and deep generousity comforted us throughout. I glimpsed many ideas about how to work with plants and certainly I am looking at nature, gardens, plants and flowers with a new eye. Thank you Bonny!
Giorgia Mesquita Herbal Medicine Complete student
Herbal Medicine Immersion
This 5 day Immersion integrates the philosophy and practice of traditional Naturopathy, with current understanding of holistic systemic anatomy and physiology, how the body develops acute and chronic disease and the role that the eliminative channels play in increasing health and vitality. Naturopathic therapies are introduced to support elimination, relieve detox symptoms, increase strength and vitality, support constitutional strengths and weakness and balance elemental energetics.
Iridology studies begin with iris structure, markings, body systems, eliminative channels and in-depth exploration of constitutional types. Iris presentation of mind-body dynamics and inherent pathways to health and disease are considered in the context of heart-brain coherence, psychoneuroimmunology and systemic mind-body healing.
Course topics include:
∙ Philosophy and principles of natural medicine in practice
∙ 9 Pillars of Prevention
∙ Consultation skills
∙ Creating Holistic Naturopathic programmes
∙ The 5 Elements and Naturopathic Therapies
∙ Iris Structure and Markings
∙ Iris Color
∙ 9 Body Systems in the Iris
∙ Iris Constitutions
∙ Iris Drawing and Photography
∙ Iris mind mapping and creative Iris Mandala project
∙ Introduction to Rayid Analysis and mind-body dynamics in the iris
∙ Integration of Naturopathy, Iridology, Diet and Herbal Medicine in self care, self healing and clinical practice
∙ Clinical Training
Each student's iris will be photographed and analysed as a group, and we will create an integrated self healing programme for each student that includes systemic herbal medicine, diet (cleansing and health building), preventative care, essential oils, flower essences, mind-body dynamic education and naturopathic therapies.
This Immersion is open to all students enrolled in a certificate or diploma course, as the course content is profoundly enriching to all areas of natural medicine study and practice.
Naturopathy & Iridology Immersion
The Quantum Botanicals Immersion encompasses a deep study of plant based vibrational medicine and flower essences. Studies begin with the fundamentals of 'What is Matter?' ‘What is Health?’ and ‘What is Cure?’ leading to an exploration of the science that underpins vibrational medicine.
Within the context of current understanding of energy, space, matter, organised energy fields, and the fractal nature of body, mind and emotions, students learn how the interconnectedness of mind and body can be harnessed to support self healing and evolution of consciousness.
Through lectures and experiential classes, students explore the world of plants, both physically and vibrationally, with reference to studies of plant consciousness, plant senses, the 12 Windows of Perception and human-plant resonance, leading to study of flower essences, felt sense, heart-brain coherence, brain hemisphere processing, the language of feeling and emotions, and the relationship between mental and emotional states, health and disease.
The study of flower essences is structured around the 38 Bach Flower Remedies as we learn about the 12 Healers (core personality types), the 12 Helpers (for when the core personality is obscured by long-term disassociation or environmental influences) and the 19 Situational Remedies (for current internal and/or external stresses and influences). Other flower essences systems are introduced and students are invited to explore their resonance with a range of essence producers including Flower Essences Services (FES) remedies, Icelandic Nature Essences, Alaskan Essences and others.
Every topic is fully integrated with the next, so that all topics are understood as a whole with a focus on developing therapeutic skills and creating effective programs, so that this knowledge can be used effectively in practice.
"It has been a very intense and profound immersion, every single day was worth it!"
Maurizio Ensaldo Healing Diets Nutritional Consultant and Quantum Botanicals Therapist graduate
Quantum Botanicals &
Flower Essences Immersion
The Essential Oils and Healing Touch Immersion focuses on experiential healing processes that combine essential oils with techniques to balance sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system function and heart-brain coherence, allowing for deeper connection and receptivity to self healing.
As classes progress, healing processes shift to the study of Reflexology; a gentle format for exploring a range of healing touches and developing skills to bring clients into a deep state of relaxation where they are exceptionally open to the shifts in fractal progression offered by essential oils.
"I want to thank you again for the profound learning experience I had at the immersion. Stress and anxiety is rampant in society, and is at the foundation of so many health issues, and in only 5 days you taught me skills that have been life altering for me and for each client that I have shared them with. I've used essential oils for many years with good results, but combining essential oils with healing touch takes this healing modality onto an entirely different level. The best analogy I can think of is that the healing properties of essential oils go from communicating to the mind and body in a whisper, to communicating like a heaven sent chorus. I am forever grateful for having found you and making the choice to become your student."
