        Nutritionists Who Are Also Coaches and Counsellors Can Make a Huge Difference in the Lives of Others

        Graduates that complete nutrition-only programs report difficulty when trying to help clients overcome issues that branch into non-nutrition areas. Depression, addiction, past physical trauma, and other challenges that are commonplace in today’s world make it difficult to motivate others to make nutritional changes that will benefit their health. The great news is that nutrition can also have a profound positive effect on an individual’s sense of emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Counsellors that can understand the emotional, spiritual, and physical effects of nutrition will find that they can treat their clients with great care, leading to long-term successful results. 

        Taking this balanced approach to nutrition, graduates from Rhodes Wellness College’s Professional Integrative Nutrition Counselling Program will have the advantage of being in a position to apply for jobs from two sectors – both the front lines of mental health, emotional health, and addiction recovery as well as in all areas of nutritional wellness, coaching and counselling thereby increasing their career prospects upon graduation.
