About the Course

This online self study course has been specifically created for Kinesiologists who want to develop an understanding of holistic nutrition in a way that will support their practise, as well as their own health and wellbeing. It is also a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese Five Elements. It is delivered via a learning platform that works equally well on PC, laptop, tablet and smart phone so you can conveniently mix and match when and where you complete the lessons.

It has been approved by the Kinesiology Federation U.K  as a suitable course to cover your 'Core Subject Nutrition' needs.

This self guided, experiential online course is at least 90 hours of study, which can be completed over six months. It explores Natural Nutrition and how it weaves together with Five element theory; it is not so much about facts, but more about the energy of food and nutrition and how this impacts us, body, mind and spirit. You will find out how we can work with the body to support it towards health and wellbeing using food and nutrition.  The course is supported by an in-depth manual, which you can download and print, that gives you the facts on nutrition, anatomy and physiology (relevant to nutrition) and eating with the seasons using the 5 elements.

The course is divided up into bite size lessons made up of either a short audio or video plus written material and diagrams. Have a look at the curriculum below to see what is included.

Integral to the course is your Personal Learning Journal. For each lesson there is a Personal Learning Journal prompt which encourages you to explore the Five Elements and Natural Nutrition philosophy and concepts for yourself. This is the way to really get to 'know' the Five Elements and how food can be 'medicine'.

There will also be some 'Bonus Lessons' included too, just to add some extra interest.

Here is what a student said about the course...

'Carol felt like a good friend talking me though the course one step at a time. All her years of experience supported and reassured me from beginning to end.  I loved all the elemental meditations which brought the course to life and helped me to feel it and understand it in my body.  Relating each element to the cell stucture is genius and it was really satisfying to see how Natural Nutrition and the Five Elements can support each other.  And the 'mini lessons' made fitting it around a busy schedule both do able and easeful'.   Jacqueline Lawes, Creative Kinesiologist

The cost of this self study Core Subject course is £235
