Health Practitioner, Nutritherapy Option

Module Overview

The Natural Health Practitioner, Nutritherapy option module is the third and final level of the program leading to the professional Health Practitioner diploma, offered by the Alternative Medicine College of Canada (AMCC). The nutritherapy option emphasizes a curriculum focused more on care through nutrition and complementary foods.

It follows the Natural Health Advisor module (level 1) and Natural Health Educator (level 2). This final step consolidates what you have learned and prepares you for a more autonomous, integrative, and practical approach to natural care.

background review

“I’ve gained a lot of knowledge. Your courses are very enjoyable to work through because they’re rich and complete.”

Christine Robert, France

“I am very happy and satisfied with this training. I feel richer in knowledge and able to gradually integrate everything into my practice, and I can't wait to continue with the next module!”

Lue Lebel, Québec

"I’m very happy to have completed this program despite my personal challenges, I made it! I really enjoyed the training—very interesting materials. I’m continuing in naturopathy."

Lucie Salvail, Québec

"You can't imagine how happy your email made me last night: I was so delighted! You were so encouraging—thank you so much. The case studies were really motivating for me. Since I tend to be a bit too methodical, I was eagerly waiting for the results to move on. I started working on a website: I’ve got the name and am working on its sections and content; it will be primarily a sharing platform. Many thanks to the whole team, and I’m carrying on!!"

Samiya SEKKAT, Morocco

“I consider this program to be well-structured and it covers essential aspects of healthcare. The downside is that the African continent is deprived of many things, such as knowledge and the sale of homeopathic and other products in pharmacies, but that encourages local development of these products. In my case, I am trying to adapt the knowledge and practices learned to local realities.”

Valentin Agon, Benin

“I really liked the examples in the clinical case studies, and the research to find the case analyses in all the booklets we studied, which helped us recall the material we covered.”

Josée Poitras, Québec

“A program that is both comprehensive and diverse, broadening horizons. A wide range of techniques and therapies that lets you help people regardless of their individual preferences.”

Rachel Bellay, Switzerland

“I learned a lot of things thanks to the self-correction exercises, but especially by getting books on the subjects covered. It’s important to do additional reading to really understand and succeed. I LOVED MY TRAINING!”

Anik Estrada, Québec

"Thank you very much. Thank you for the seriousness of your institution. Thank you for the solid coursework, and above all, a special thanks to Valerie for her support throughout my studies. I’ve just completed the case studies to be a Health Practitioner—it’s incredible what this training brought me both in natural health knowledge and personally. I feel more accomplished and already ready to practise! I can’t wait to continue the curriculum to become a naturopath! Long life to AMCC!"

Sophie Marion, British Virgin Islands

"I am very happy to have completed my Health Practitioner program, but I think your understanding and support during these studies contributed to my success. I am also proud, Madam, to be among the AMCC students and I thank you very much for your congratulations and encouragement throughout this time. Working with you was truly a pleasure."

Dr. Hasnaa Lotfi, Sultanate of Oman

“I really enjoyed this program; I learned a lot. I will definitely continue with naturopathy.”

Nataly Tremblay, Québec

“Hello, first I am very proud of myself and happy to work with a pharmacist for the HEEL company of biotherapy and homeopathy products. I now understand the importance of having studied and taken the time to absorb the material, thank you.”

Suzie Chouinard, Health Practitioner

"I also wanted to thank you for your much-appreciated encouragement, which allowed me to progress in my studies—not to mention AMCC, an excellent school, which passed on both the love for the profession and its fundamentals."

Magali Nasi, France

The Health Practitioner course is a really complete and interesting general course. I consider it a good foundation of knowledge and I hope to go into more detail in the specialization modules.

Martin Gauthier, Québec

I really enjoyed it, it was very instructive.

Rolande Morlon

This program is an excellent foundation for aspiring naturopaths (or homeopaths). The various courses, which are fascinating, provide a very useful basis for self-directed research, which is essential for practitioners working holistically. Highly recommended!

Sophie Meulemans

I loved this program, which is why I want to keep studying. I found the EC820 Case Studies in Health Practice course harder because it pulls together everything from all the other courses, but it's a great review.

Chantal Robert

Excellent program!

Dr Lamia Ben Othmen, Physician

Yes, it’s a great program. The information it contains is essential for achieving and maintaining good health!

Danielle Marquis, Québec

I’m really enjoying this learning process, which made me re-examine my own lifestyle and also realize how much I still have to learn. Each topic raises more questions and leads you to do more research. The subjects are clear and well presented, and the instructors are helpful and friendly. Thanks!

Sylvie Lambrou, France

I would like to thank you for your encouragement. Thank you as well for your fascinating courses that spark curiosity.

Florian Husherr, France

A set of rich and coherent courses. From ways to detox the body and support it during challenges to hands-on techniques to stimulate natural vitality—a wide range of options to put into practice for quality care.

Valérie Velter, France

I loved the Health Practitioner training. It allowed me to confirm concepts I had picked up over the years.

Nicole Massenet, Malaysia

I wanted to thank you for this very interesting curriculum—I was passionate about it the whole time, and the months were filled with research and documentation. Thank you for expanding my knowledge and lighting my path.
