The Career Preparedness Program
Build a Confident, Compliant, and Profitable Career in Holistic Nutrition
You didn’t choose holistic nutrition to feel confused, underpaid, or afraid of “doing it wrong.”
Yet many nutrition professionals graduate with strong clinical knowledge—and very little clarity about how to legally practice, run a business, attract clients, or generate sustainable income.
That’s exactly why the Career Preparedness Program was created.
This comprehensive, step-by-step program is designed exclusively for holistic nutrition professionals who want to move from credentialed to confident, from passionate to professionally prepared.
This amazing resource is FREE to our Professional members and only $397 for everyone else.
If you have ever asked yourself…
- Can I legally practice in my state?
- What exactly is my scope of practice—and how do I stay protected?
- How do I start a business without getting overwhelmed?
- How will I actually make money doing this work?
- Where do I find mentors, community, and ongoing support?
You are not alone—and you are exactly who this program was built for.
