Healthy Eating for the Complementary Therapy Client

This course equips therapists to guide clients toward healthier, sustainable lifestyle choices while deepening their own understanding of nutrition. Rooted in NHS healthy eating guidelines, it goes beyond the basics to explore key nutritional principles and the evidence that supports them.

Recommended for therapists—and valuable for anyone interested in nutrition—this course highlights how diet affects long-term health. Poor dietary choices, such as insufficient fiber, fruit, vegetables, or protein, increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Learning to eat well is about more than longevity—it’s about maintaining the energy, fitness, and vitality to enjoy life fully.

 

Participants gain practical skills to support clients, including completing food diaries, identifying achievable dietary improvements, and confidently discussing nutrition.

The blended course includes:

  • 11 online modules of evidence-based content

  • 22 client fact sheets

  • A workbook assessment, built from the start of the course

  • Unlimited email support from a dedicated tutor

Enhance expertise, expand service offerings, and empower clients to make lasting improvements in their health and well-being.
