What is a Holistic Nutrition Consultant?
“Why did you go into this career?”
After my rollercoaster of health issues, I saw the importance of taking my own wellness into my own hands. This led me to see the lack of attention and education people had around their own bodies and knew this was something that I could see forming a career around.
As a nature lover, I always preferred the natural approach to wellness and when I learned that there was a career path that aligned with my moral beliefs I knew it was the one for me.
