Holistic health and nutrition are among the most exciting and rewarding career choices today. More and more people are seeking information because they want to take an active role in staying healthy. Therefore, traditional naturopaths and lifestyle consultants are in great demand.
Clayton College of Natural Health’s almost 30-year history has proven that the distance learning format for natural health is highly successful. Distance learning at CCNH offers a convenient alternative to a campus-based education — at a cost far below the tuition rates of most on-campus colleges. Our unique educational program gives motivated adult students the freedom and tools to create their own learning environment, study at their own pace, and fit their studies into their personal and professional lives. CCNH's faculty advisors are available to you 8 hours per day via e-mail, phone, or fax and are even more accessible than in a traditional campus setting.
CCNH’s programs are based on the principles of traditional naturopathy—that healing will occur naturally in the human body if it is given what it truly needs: fresh air, sunlight, proper diet, pure water, exercise and rest. Programs range from the philosophy of natural health modalities to their practical application. Several degree programs are tailored to provide the necessary skills and knowledge to become a traditional naturopath, a natural health consultant, or to integrate natural health methods into an existing healthcare practice.
A Natural Revolution
Never has there been a better time to study natural health. More than ever, people are aware that chemical, radiation and surgical treatments of disease do not always lead to better health. Medical costs have gone through the ceiling. People are looking for an alternative.
Traditional naturopaths and holistic nutrition consultants will see the general public becoming more attuned to actively connecting mind, body and spirit to achieve optimal health. Allopathic practitioners will increasingly integrate more holistic health therapies into their treatments.
Clayton College has been recognized as the world's leading college of natural health, and holistic nutrition. Students and graduates from around the world continue to create and develop communities of people who are joining hands to teach the world how to be healthier, one person at a time.
