Naturopathy

The Naturopathy Professional Advanced Diploma Course offered by the School of Natural Medicine integrates the study of Naturopathy, Healing Diets, Herbal Medicine and Iridology. Naturopathy is a systemic approach to holistic natural medicine that recognises that the cause and cure of disease lies within the whole person – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

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 each Immersion is offered on alternate years. Once you have completed each Online Certification Course, you will receive professional diplomas (see prospectus) and upon completion of relevant Immersion Trainings, you will then graduate with the Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, Master Herbalist, Master Iridologist and Naturopathy Advanced Diplomas.

Students progress at their own pace and are personally mentored throughout their studies. Experiential self healing is a core part of this unique approach to study, which is combined with reading, research, writing, and expansive, creative projects, with a focus on understanding and personal experience, rather than simply rote memorisation – so that each student is empowered to embody and share their own learning, with depth of knowledge, integrity and authenticity.

Upon graduation, students receive the Master Herbalist, Master Iridologist, Naturopathic Nutrition and Naturopathy Advanced Diplomas.
