What is a Natural Health Consultant?

Natural health consultants are professionals who, rather than having modern medical training, have extensive knowledge about natural remedies, such as vitamins, herbs, minerals, and even how nutrition can impact health.

Health and wellness consultants are trained to assess and discuss health issues or symptoms with clients and recommend holistic treatments. They must have the ability to empathize with their clients and listen carefully to their health care concerns. Being an effective natural health consultant requires strong interpersonal and communication skills to effectively help your clients.
