The Nutrient Prescriber's Program

With over a decade of mentoring practitioners, Rachel has recognised a need for an educational program that provides practitioners with more structure, more science, and therefore more certainty in navigating each individual prescription.

DIVE DEEPER INTO DIAGNOSTICS ANY TIME!

MasterCourse I: Comprehensive Diagnostics

This really is the most seminal training we offer, taking the time to dig deep into the science behind all the ‘signposts’ our patients’ results are pointing to. A big commitment for a big reward. It comprehensively covers all the routine labs you will see everyday:  LFTs, Renal markers, Glucose and Lipids, FBE & WCCs & is loaded up with case illustrations for each key pathology pattern – that many practitioners say was an absolute highlight

 

  • 6 sessions of online learning video presentations (total 24+hours)
  • Rachel provides you with questions, mini-assessments & lots of opportunities for case study application, testing your comprehension & understanding as you go.
  • Included BONUS preparatory videos, audios, notes, desktop resources and templates you can use in your clinic with your own patients.
  • You get to keep all content in your online account forever, and replay as often as you like.

Here is what other’s have to say about these great offerings…

Georgie Stephens on New Graduates Mentoring

“I went from nervous newbie to confident and capable practitioner in 1 year”

Kristen Ellis on New Graduates Mentoring

“Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything you’ve done this year. The new graduate course was extremely beneficial and has given me the confidence boost and kickstart I need.

I’m sure this isn’t the end of my journey with you guys, but just wanted to say a big thank you and show my appreciation for the time and effort you put in.”

Tammy Shemesh on New Graduates Mentoring

“I wanted to say how grateful I am for this programme and how much it’s informing my practice.  After the last session I felt overwhelmed how I would put what was discussed into practice, but once I remembered just to focus on the therapeutic relationship everything changed.”

Emma Gardiner on New Graduates Mentoring

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you have done over the last year during the grad mentoring programme.  It has been such a great experience and absolutely the best professional development investment I’ve made. (Have been singing your praises to all the final year students!)”

Larissa Gilroy on Group Mentoring

“Thank you for all the information you provided in yesterday’s session.  I’m a first year out of college naturopath and I have found your mentoring to be absolutely invaluable.  My confidence in treating clients is greater and my understanding of the whole picture has enabled me to formulate beneficial treatment plans and prescriptions and as a result I have had some great results.”

Micaela Monteiro-Haig on Group Mentoring

“I truly feel so fortunate to be a part of this group.  I have found it to be invaluable and a very wise investment for my practice.”

Nancy Demuynck on MasterCourse I

“The mentoring I have taken on with Rachel has been life changing for my business.  Her mentoring was at another level of university.  It is the real world.  Keen to take on the next year Alumni course. Thanks.”

Loani McGarry on MasterCourse I

“This pathology course is one of the best external learning courses I have ever done!  So informative, delivered succinctly and always entertaining – light bulb moments going off the way my kids treat our light switches!”

Food Cancel Culture is Alive & Unwell 🫤😦😞

Take a moment to reflect honestly on your (ouch!), or alternatively 'our' collective (if that's more comfortable) opinions over time regarding each of these: Butter. Coffee. Spinach. Red meat. I could go on and on...and tragically, on some more. The total number of...

“Soy?!” They Screamed!

When Women Lean In

I've been talking lately about my own perimenopause experience & I've been listening to others do the same when suddenly it occurred to me that when these conversations happen - women all around lean in. Physically, mentally, emotionally, biologically. While for...

Feeling Pressure To Be An ‘Early Adopter’?

How’s Your B6 Situationship?

Completely breaking up would have been easier for everyone. But cutting the cord isn't an option because she's everywhere. She remains essential, beneficial & yes, indicated in some patients as part of their prescription. But her 'toxic nature', exposed via excess...

Novel Iron Options – But Which Form When?

The iron options available to us have undergone a 'Grand-Designs-Scale' reno. And whether your taste is for supplements that offer more food-like forms (I'm thinking an off-grid rammed earth, built into a hill) or you welcome nutrition borrowing from the best that...

It always does! Turns out I rely heavily on those last few days of every month to get my homework done in time 😦 as many of my 11th hour Update and Under 30 timestamps will attest to! And this month (as is the case every other month tbh) I felt the topic was so...
