The Natural Wellness Academy
General Certification Questions
Each program focuses on a different sub-field of natural wellness. To learn more about what a specific program will prepare you to do, we suggest reading its course page and syllabus; you can also contact us for more information.
Generally, once you complete your certification, you can advertise yourself as a coach/guide and charge appropriate fees for guiding your clients to their goals, leading specific activities, serving as a supportive shoulder, and providing access to informational resources. You can offer your services to individuals, corporations, health clubs, integrative medicine wellness centers, hospitals, weight loss clinics, and more. In the coaching module integrated with most of our professional certifications, you will also learn practical aspects of the profession, such as contracts, fees and scheduling. Excellent graduates could be invited to the Academy as adjuncts to mentor students or even develop their own courses.
Our graduates have successfully launched wellness careers all over the globe, representing a diverse range of interests and approaches, ranging from helping individuals to working with the local Y or healthcare facilities to providing services to corporations as large as Google. We’d love to tell you about them, so feel free to reach out with questions.
The requirements needed to obtain our certifications are competitive with those for other allied health certifications. Importantly, our graduates actual must demonstrate mastery—not simply rote memorization—of the subject material by submitting a final project, which requires the student to synthesize and apply concepts in an innovative manner. We emphasize real-world applications and results, so our most important mark of success is the success of our graduates (and their clients).

We’d love to tell you about them, so feel free to reach out with questions.
For the most part, all of our courses consist of reading provided materials, watching assigned videos, participating in webinars, partaking in individual (distance) mentoring sessions with your instructor, responding to digitally-delivered self-study assignments, and completing a final project that should reflect the direction you plan to take with your certification. So, most of the program is done in your own time, in your own home (or wherever you choose!).
For students interested in practicing as a hypnotherapist, we offer a special program, Clinical Hypnotherapy, that prepares you to enter that field. Although some of our other courses cover hypnosis-like techniques, it would not be proper to represent yourself as a hypnotherapist; for those courses, you will learn basic tools for behavioral modification and stress relief and be able to help your clients by teaching them to tap into their subconscious minds.

Tuition and Finances
The Academy is proud to offer a limited number of need- and merit-based scholarships/discounts that reduce tuition expenses for qualified individuals. All applicants are automatically considered for scholarships based on the information they provide on their applications and during the onboarding process. You can also contact us to see what discounts might be available for specific program.
While the Academy prides itself on offering among the lowest tuition among peer institutions for comparable certifications, we understand that tuition can still be a concern for some students.

As an additional way to make our programs more affordable, you can receive a referral fee for any new enrolling students you refer (click here to learn more).
As noted in the Student Agreement, refunds may be allowed prior to course access, less any expenses incurred to the date of withdrawal. No refunds may be issued after course access has been granted. When students enroll through our online registration process, access is immediately granted, so if you have any questions, please contact us to speak to one of our student advisors before you enroll.
Students with an approved payment plan will have received instructions on their payment arrangements and schedule during the onboarding process. Typically, the payment plan involves a recurring credit/debit card charge that occurs once each month until the tuition balance is zeroed out.
