New Career as Holistic Nutritionist
Donation protected
I am 56 years old and I want to go back to school! But I need your help.
Having raised my family and worked hard, first as a primary school teacher and then building up a business as a private music tutor, I've just moved back to Canada after 26 years in the UK to be near my children and my family, particularly my father, who is in his eighties now.
Unfortunately, I lost all my savings when making the move. Just as I was changing my money over to Canadian dollars, the British pound plunged in value due to the "hard Brexit" announcement that week. Ten years of savings were gone in the blink of an eye, with nothing I could do about it. That was money which would allow both my husband and I to find our feet here, financially, and give us some options, but it's gone. However, I'm wanting to move forward, to not look back or mourn this loss.
I never sit on my haunches!
One thing I've been doing since arriving seven months ago is cooking for people who have special dietary needs and restrictions due to health issues - but I long to offer more.
How wonderful it would be, I thought, if I were professionally qualified to give advice on diet and nutrition and to truly help people, to empower them to make life-changing and life-enhancing decisions regarding their own health.
I began to do some research into programs, courses and schools which offer such training, and the best one offers distance learning, which would be ideal. This would enable me to continue to make a much needed contribution to the household income with the small amount of music teaching I have so far, along with a bit of dog-sitting, renting out spare rooms, and whatever else I can do to pay the bills.
Becoming a Certified Health Coach would be the fulfilment of a life-time's passion about healthy living and healthy eating. The time is ripe for more experts in diet, nutrition, and healthy living - how to nurture and empower ourselves and each other through healthy habits, which is why this profession is growing more rapidly than any other in the country. The course content, along with the prospect of really making a difference to people's lives, as an acredited professional excites me to my core!
I long to fulfil this dream and it's this course that will enable me to do so, as it is highly regarded, offers distance learning, and will give me a proper accreditation as a Certified Health Coach, with an aim to do a second year of study in the future to become a Holistic Nutritionist.
I need just $2,000 to enroll. I can do so as soon as I have raised the funds. This covers all costs for the program.
Any amount you feel moved to donate would be so gratefully received and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
