Teen mom beats the odds to graduate from the "School of holistic Healing" and ‘reaches success’.
When I found out I was pregnant at 16 I felt overwhelmed with emotions. I was so scared for what was to come ahead, but I was happy and relieved that my parents were supportive. I knew that I didn’t want to work in a dead end job for the rest of my life. So, I started searching alternative schools to get a degree in something while I was still being supported by my parents. I stumbled across the school of holistic healing which I believe God drew me to. The more I read about holistic healing the more I knew this was the career I wanted for myself and my child.
During my pregnancy I struggled to keep up with school while working full time and struggling with health complications. Although becoming a first time parent was difficult, I remember my tutor Amy helping me every step of the way.
Amy made me feel very comfortable about my pregnancy, and throughout the 9 months course I learned so much from her. Everything was just so overwhelming but with Amy’s help and complete encouragement I was able to work and complete my studies and graduated earlier than I expected.
Before giving birth to my beautiful daughter, finishing any kind of schooling seemed impossible, but now I am looking forward to working with my current patients and expanding my holistic business.
I realized many young teen moms, including myself wasn’t prepared with the education they needed to prepare a life with a child.
I surrounded myself with the people who supported me and encouraged me to be optimistic. I didn’t let the opinion of others hinder my excitement of raising my child. Though I achieved my goals and reached success, it wasn’t easy. These experiences have only shown me that I can do whatever I put my mind to and succeed at it. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that every situation and all pain I have endured has made me the strong woman and mother I am today.
My advice is you can beat every statistic and stereotype and no matter what statistic you think you fall into, don’t conform to the idea that is your only path you are destined for. A statistic does not define you, or your future. Change the view people have of you by being different and work hard at whatever you do. Life may not be what you want it to be at this moment but trust the process and know there is more to come. You are being shaped into who you are with each and every experience. Nicole G.
Why pursue a career in alternative medicine?
In our stressful modern age, the wellness industry offers desperately needed support to those in search of balance and healing, making holistic health careers more popular than ever before.
Rates of chronic disease, obesity, depression and anxiety are higher than ever before. People are stressed out, overwhelmed and unhealthy. They are also living longer and seeking greater quality of life throughout the aging process. Overall, there is a widespread interest in holistic healers and wellness, both in the form of alternative medicine and in beauty and spa treatments.
People are visiting holistic health practitioners and spas to help them cope with their busy lives, address chronic pain and fight disease. More and more families are seeing the value in going to a holistic practitioner. Others seek assistance with improving their diet and exercise habits. All of them aspire to the profound state of health that comes with the balance of mind, body, and spirit. This is one of the reasons holistic health careers are becoming so popular.
Many people today recognize the limitations of Western science and medicine. They know that overuse of antibiotics can create long-term problems and vulnerabilities. They are distrustful of large pharmaceutical companies so in light of all this, the importance of preventative health care is finally entering mainstream awareness.
People are seeking greater control over their response to illness. Rather than going to a mainstream doctor with their health issues they are turning to alternative doctors for answers.
Holistic Practitioners, and Herbalist that used to be considered “weird” or “alternative” have now become widely accepted. And, as a result, holistic health careers are now in great demand and can be very rewarding for the right individual.
Today’s family holistic practitioners follow in the footsteps of those ancient healers and are in greater demand than ever before. Read our article below on "Why have a career in Holistic Medicine".
SHH GRADUATE STUDENT
“What I thought to be a short, cheap certificate program, turned out to be, in my opinion, one of the best certification programs out there. I had been looking into holistic health related courses, programs, schools, and in so doing, checking out their curriculum's. What I have found in your course is something well beyond what these 10-50 times more expensive courses offer. I now have a much better understanding of how the body works and what happens to it when it doesn't, and how to help my patients heal. As a result, I have consequently opened my Family Holistic Practice and just by word of mouth from family and friends my business is growing in leaps and bounds!" I can’t thank you enough for my tutor Janet and your excellent student support system.
