From Rebecca C, USA
As a registered nurse I did not have enough naturopathic nutritional expertise to point ailing individuals in a clear nutritional direction. The School of Modern Naturopathy’s intense course expanded my limited nutritional knowledge by showing me “in the detailed working’s of the body and its metabolism” how nutrition and diet can be underlying causes for many disease processes. The school taught me how to work in conjunction with other medical professionals to apply this knowledge to persons suffering ailments stemming from systemic, occupational, psychosomatic and environmental issues to name a few. Using five family members and friends as case studies in this course and working with each person’s doctor we were able to cut back, and in some cases, totally eliminate many prescription medications; we had a combined weight loss of 150 pounds by using many of the recipes in The Big Healthy Soup Diet by Linda Lazarides. My family, friends and their doctors are ecstatic and owe Linda Lazarides a debt of gratitude.
These affordable classes are systematic; easy to follow and understand.
From Gillian M, New Zealand
Linda Lazarides, principal of the School of Modern Naturopathy, has put together not only a very well researched curriculum, but one that covers all essential topics necessary to gain an insight and understanding of nutrition and health. Not having studied for over thirty years I was understandably a little concerned that I would not cope with the course. I should not have worried as the material and forum provided everything I needed to to know. Further, all questions were answered promptly and professionally. This amazing course has given me a wonderful working knowledge of the subject which has enabled me to improve my own health, help others and gain employment.
From Susannah M, Australia
I highly recommend Linda Lazarides Naturopathic Nutrition course. Having around 15 qualifications of various sorts now under my belt, I can affirm that this is a well-constructed, extremely informative, very valuable course. The information was delivered in a timely manner, the forums were helpful to discuss topics with fellow students, and it was a perfect amount of work to complete. The information was extremely valuable - personally, as well as a nutritional practitioner.
From Toni A, United Kingdom
The Naturopathic Nutrition Practitioners' course offered by the School of Modern Naturopathy, under the tutorship of Linda Lazarides, is one of the most comprehensively constructed courses I have ever participated in. The information provided is excellent and extremely well researched, using very reliable resources that we will now be able to tap into for our ongoing research as practitioners. Each module was extremely well-balanced and thought-out, to present the right amount of work to complete. Linda is a patient, encouraging and challenging tutor, as well as being incredibly knowledgeable and I am indeed happy and feel privileged to have learned and followed my passion for nutrition and naturopathy, under her guidance.
From Lorraine C, United Kingdom
Absolutely first class course. I am returning to the world of nutrition after a 10 year break and wanted to re-educate myself before starting again. And what a way to do it - I have not only re-familiarised myself with aspects but have learnt so much new information. This course has given me the confidence to work as a naturopathic nutritionist, I have done other courses previously that have left me with more questions than answers at the end of the course. That hasn't happened with this course and I would fully recommend anyone to train with Linda - new and old to the nutrition world. It has given me a fresh insight and has reawakened my excitement in this field!
From Fedor M, Croatia
In this course I found a lot of knowledge I was missing as a physician. This course has a good and logical system. Easy to follow and well explained. Each lesson is very clear and the tutor led me through each module in a logical way starting from basic but important information to more complex as the course proceeded. I've re-visited many of the lessons several times to remind myself of certain features, and the great thing is you can logon to do so when you need it and have a free moment. I have no complaints whatsoever on the course, and I am more than satisfied with what I got out of it with the little investment I made. Now I feel much more competent in dealing with sick people's needs. Thank you Linda for having patience and sharing so much knowledge with us. I would definitely recommend the School of Modern Naturopathy to anyone who wishes to find out the causes of illness and wants to know what to do about it.
From Lisa K, United Kingdom
Wishing to change career but manage a young family seemed a challenging task. Choosing a course with academic rigour and credibility but offering the ability to study from home was equally difficult. Linda's course proved the perfect option. It was thorough yet accessible both in terms of content and time required to study, with monthly assignments and reading material challenging and well researched, leaving you impatient for the next module. Linda provides constructive support and feedback after each module which helps to consolidate the material studied and online forums are invaluable for asking further questions and reviewing additional research. Whether you take this course for personal interest, a career change or the basis for further study, I could not recommend it more highly. Linda is an extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced tutor who also prepares you for handling clients and a business, ensuring a practical application of the course material which is critical in the real world.
From Jane H, United Kingdom
The course has been absolutely great, really informative and stimulating and Linda is a wise teacher who gives detailed, practical advice and individual feedback. It has helped me to really understand core issues in naturopathic nutrition as well as further explore topics that interest me. In particular the suggested protocols provide a good foundation for advising clients. I also liked the forums where you can not only ask questions and get answers but also gain insight from points raised by other students. For me the course has delivered what it set out to do, sound knowledge and guidance, with the flexibility to study alongside my other commitments. Thanks for a great start Linda!
From Claudine M, Germany
For years I had been seeking a course which would allow me to combine family life with my passion, natural health. Finally I found one! Linda Lazarides has orchestrated a programme which is accessible to most, whether you have worked in a similar field or are coming to it as a complete novice. While it can be studied from the comfort of one’s own home, the coursework is challenging and most importantly, relevant to the ailments one comes across frequently. It is a “real life” course which gives all the necessary information in modules and continuously reinforces previous chapters. Linda is always ready to answer questions, motivate and encourage us to work independently, which is key for every practitioner. Unlike other courses, Linda has provided the tools to help us actually start practicing and using our knowledge to benefit our clients. I hope there is a graduate course in the planning, Linda!
From Corazon M, Philippines
For five years now, I have been doing juicing for the sick. I started it with friends and through a word of mouth, people would now come to my place for the freshly squeezed organic vegetable juices. I know that what am doing is something that would make a difference in the health and wellness of people who believes in the healing forces of nature.. And it does.. I know also that I still have to study about wellness, nutrition, natural healing, and a friend of mine suggested to do online study. What a great suggestion! and when I requested THE MOST BENEVOLENT OUTCOME for the best school for this, I was guided to the School of Modern Naturopathy. I have always believed that when you seek the help of the Infinite Intelligence, the best will always come.. My gratitude to Linda Lazarides for the best programme and her willingness to reach out and guide her students, for the encouragement and motivations. Thank you so much Linda, I am learning a lot! yes! if there would ever be a graduate course, I will surely be your student again! Namaste..
From Jennifer H, United Kingdom
Having completed the course with the School of Modern Naturopathy I feel well educated and confident to begin working as a Nutritional Practitioner. Each month I looked forward to getting access to the next module and felt that the work load was manageable with a young family. I feel confident in the resources and protocols provided as Linda has taught us not to just believe what we read but to find the source of information and check its credibility. Using these protocols I am confident in what I have learned and how to continue developing to give the best to my clients.
From Jan S, New Zealand
I thoroughly enjoyed completing this course. I have gained valuable knowledge in the world of nutrition. The course materials were very well presented, easy to understand and are a great on-going tool for working in the field of nutrition. Linda is a very encouraging teacher, extremely knowledgeable and she keeps her knowledge up to date and uses reliable sources for her information.
From Dunia T, United Kingdom
I strongly recommend the School of Modern Naturopathy course to anyone passionate about nutrition and holistic health, whether you are planning to become a practitioner in the field or simply with the aim to apply the acquired knowledge to your personal, everyday life. The course is very informative, supported by up-to-date, unbiased research.
From Suzanne A, United Kingdom
Not having studied for a number of years, I was nervous to sign up to this course because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep up with the monthly workload. The School of Modern Naturopathy has given me a ‘kick-start’ to do something I wanted to get into after losing my daughter to breast cancer 4 years ago. The course tutor Linda Lazarides has put together a very well-constructed, exceptionally researched Diploma course that included everything from the politics of food to naturopathic treatment protocols and much, much more. With each module I learned something new, be it about heart disease, the thyroid gland, autism or cancer. I loved learning about a different approach to wellbeing and regaining health by complementary or alternative methods. Nutrition is everything and the more people we can teach about it, the healthier and happier world it will be out there.
I can’t thank Linda enough for all her help she has given me throughout the course, her positive criticism, the challenges she set. She was there not just with the answers, but with a helping hand that would steer me in the right direction. Fabulous! Thank you.
From Dorothy A, United States
I enjoyed this class and feel far or informed than ever with knowledge I can use to make positive changes in my own life and others. My goal in life is for quality of life over quantity. I do not believe growing old has to be painful I believe we can do it with grace and joy if we are willing to make simple changes that have a huge impact. Thank you Linda!
From Carolyn J, Australia
As a practising Biochemic Therapist using tissue salts to assist the health of my clients, I find the majority of my patients are often not really eating a satisfactory diet, even though they think they are and as a result could benefit from additional sound nutritional advice. Doing a full 8 year part time Naturopath degree was both impractical and expensive, so I was delighted to find the School of Modern Naturopathy course through the IICT website, which I could study at home through well paced modules and assessments within 12 months. Not only have I learnt how to assist my current clients further, I have also gained a much deeper understanding of how the body works and how nutritional deficiencies contribute to the growing number of chronic diseases presenting to health professionals. This course has enhanced my knowledge and practice immeasurably as well as being of great personal benefit to my family.
I'm very glad I researched this course and decided to commit. Thank you.
From Emma L, United Kingdom
For many years I had been thinking about studying nutrition and establishing a new career for myself but it wasn't until I found SMN that I felt able to take the plunge!
Linda's course offered me professional training within a reasonable timeframe with the appropriate help and guidance that allowed me to study and learn without the pressure of commuting or exams.
It was also important to me that the course is credible in its field being created by a well respected naturopathic nutritionalist and accredited by the FNTP.
I was impressed with the course layout and interested in the contents and have learnt so much which I often refer to in daily life and am keen to share with my prospective clients. Thank you Linda.
From Daniela R, United Kingdom
I enjoyed very much the learning process while studying the naturopathic nutrition course. I found the information thoroughly documented, explained in clear and concise language, updated and supported by reliable sources and segmented in modules which were easy to comprehend and follow.
I would highly recommend others who are passionate about nutrition to take this affordable and great course whose enlightening and valuable information was an eye opener for me and helped me to move to a healthier lifestyle.
I Thank Linda for being always available, supportive and for replying promptly to every query I had, as well as for providing me with the knowledge and tools to start a new career direction that would allow me to encourage and help others to improve their dietary habits for a better health and overall wellbeing.
From Ashleigh H, South Africa
This course is superb!! The guidance and wisdom that Linda offers is wonderful. This course requires hard work but is great for anyone who is passionate about natural medicine. Linda is there to support you and ensures that you understand what you are learning by taking the time to mark your assessments thoroughly and providing feedback. Thank you Linda.
From Andreja M, Norway
I would like to thank you Linda for a great course in naturopathic nutrition. The course is well constructed and very informative. It requires a hard work and that was my first on-line diploma course so I was a little bit nervous. There was a good time studying the topics and Linda is always available, she is an encouraged and knowledged teacher.
I recommend this course for everyone interested in naturopathy, especially nutrition. This course gave me a knowledge how to improve my own health and how to help other people with different health problems.
From Helen P, United Kingdom
The Naturopathic Nutrition course was packed with excellent resources and research and presented, structured and explained in a way that maximised my learning. I was enthralled from the start and enjoyed learning so much of great importance from a personal and professional point of view. The course is amazing value for money and has given me a wealth of valuable information and understanding, all of which I have access to for life.
From Nicole R, United Kingdom
I have found this Naturopathic Nutrition course to be excellent. Very informative and I have learned a great deal, it covers everything needed and more. There is also plenty of support and feedback from Linda Lazarides herself. I enjoyed every module and found them challenging enough yet not overwhelming. The content of information is accurate and well studied. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and hoped for a part 2! Highly recommend if your looking to gain a reputable qualification in Naturopathic Nutrition.
From Tina L, United Kingdom
I honestly believe I could not have chosen a better, more thorough course. I did find it challenging as I hadn’t studied in years, which meant I needed to put many more hours of work into understanding things and completing assignments. I would gladly do this all over again as the course far exceeded my expectations. Linda has more than a wealth of knowledge and many years experience and, in my opinion, I have had the privilege of learning from the best. I feel the course has equipped me to deal with any case that confronts me and am grateful that the module books are easy to refer to with information that can be easily applied.
From Vandana S, India
The course is amazing and I got to learn a lot. I am extremely happy that I joined this school.
