Naturopathy Courses
Harness the healing power of nature, identify the root cause of illness, treat the whole person: become a Naturopath. We offer four routes to learn more about naturopathy, for those just starting out or for practicing therapists who want to extend their qualification.
The Naturopathy Programmes are World Naturopathic Federation (WNF) and General Council and Register of Naturopaths (GCRN) approved and accredited by The Society of Naturopaths (SON).

The philosophy which underpins Naturopathy will provide you with a completely different view of health, disease and even life itself. An understanding of Naturopathy can provide you with the knowledge to keep yourself, your family and your clients with an increased level of health. Its message is simple and yet it immediately resonates with all those who study it, helping us to make sense of health and disease and empowering us with its simple philosophy.

This Naturopathy Course is ideal for those that wish to learn about naturopathic approach to health, and want to learn about the different subjects (medical disciplines) before choosing which to specialise in. It starts with Ayurveda the oldest system of medicine and then moves onto Chinese medicine, then Tibetan Medicine before coming West to look at Unani Medicine (Greek) and Homeopathy. You will learn about the philosophy that underpins Naturopathy, as well as many techniques for interpreting health and disease (iridology, the Ayurveda doshas, tongue and pulse diagnosis, the 4 and 5 elements and psychosocial skills).
