Final Q & A
A FEW OF OUR MOST
Although this course is broken up into 7 modules, you'll have lifetime access and can watch the content at your own pace. You will also receive the slides in a PDF format and other references for you to use in your clinical practice.
Yes of course! We absolutely love collaborating with beauty therapists/corneotherapists as much as we can to educate clinicians on how to identify where their client’s skin presentation may be stemming from. Although this course doesn’t qualify you to prescribe as a nutritionist or naturopath, it will equip you with the basic skills and knowledge you need to confidently have conversations with your clients in regards to the underlying drivers of their skin presentation from an internal perspective whilst providing basic guidance to changes they can implement. Through this knowledge you will gain, you will have a new and enhanced level of analysis of your client’s presentation and case taking.
Each topic will vary in length, with each module broken up into various topics. To ensure you are absorbing as much information as possible, we’ve created multiple short videos between 15-45 minutes each totalling to 12+ hours of recorded educational content over 7 weeks.
Most definitely, as we go through each module I'm sure clients will come to mind that you will want to ask questions about. You are more than welcome to do so and reach out to Jacinta in the Facebook Group for help on how to discuss this with your client and to discuss the next steps involved. Remembering that the answers provided are not diagnostic and for best duty of care it is important the client is assessed by a Naturopath or Nutritionist.
