What will you learn?
The course consists of 5 modules, studied together over 3 years.
1. Naturopathic history, principles, philosophy, and theory
2. Naturopathic medical and science knowledge
3. Naturopathic modalities, practice and treatment
4. 500 hours of supervised clinical practice
5. Research methodology, ethics and business
The course is a distillation of many years of experience of Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine, and their ability to promote self-healing.
The 3-Year Extended Diploma Course in Naturopathy describes natural, effective and safe ways to improve health, and presents a wide range of therapeutic techniques that can be used to relieve stress, increase vitality, promote the prevention of disease and encourage wellness.
It regards health as a natural state, and it regards disease as nature's way of restoring health when an individual is out of balance with their environment.
It recognises that all healing is ultimately dependent on nature – the surgeon may set the bone, but it is the body that actually mends the break.
It suggests that the aim of all treatment should be to create the best possible circumstances for the body to heal itself, while avoiding as far as possible things that may do harm.
It acknowledges the existence of a life-force which animates our biological vehicle, and sees body, mind, emotion, and spirit as interwoven strands in the fabric of life.
It emphasizes the responsibility of each individual to create conditions favouring health, and this requires paying attention to the basics of life - air, water, food, rest, activity, play and community.
The Healing Garden Institute’s aim is to deliver a naturopathic training course that is engaging, fun, flexible, affordable, comprehensive, inclusive, environmentally responsible, international in outlook, and up to date.
It seeks to fulfil this aim by offering a high-quality learning experience, expert tuition by experienced tutors, an innovative clinical training scheme, rich and varied content, and learning materials that cater for a wide range of learning styles.
