"As a personal fitness trainer, I understand all too well the crucial role that diet and nutrition play in total well being, physical and overall health advancement. Not being able to give specific diet advice to my clients makes it difficult to help them progress to their highest potential, and truly exceed the limits they may have set for themselves. I give nutrition 80% importance when it comes to physical development. Through the Nutritional Consultant course with VICNW, I’m confident that I will leave with more than I need to know in order to help equip the path for each of my clients with all of the tools they will need to surpass any limit and achieve every goal they set for themselves.
Vancouver Island College of Natural Wellness has taken one of the most important elements for our being and laid it out in such adequate sequencing, that those having no base education can jump right into the nutrition course and finish with so much more than the low end basics to both live and advise a quality way of life through diet. I am looking forward to taking the excellence I will gather throughout the program and sharing it with my clients, future program participants and faithful B-Log followers through my business CoreBalance Fitness, (www.corebalancefitness.ca). My vision and purpose is to move the masses by coaching and sharing my elaborations on some of the many details that help to make up a fulfilling journey through life. VICNW is going to contribute to the vision with their amazing nutrition program and link into a world of fellow view sharers when it comes to the essence of we truly are what we eat."
