5-Day Certification Retreat: Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals - Seminar
5-Day Certification Retreat: Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals
- Where:
- MESCALERO, NM
- When:
- Monday, October 17, 2022 - Friday, October 21, 2022
Course Description:
Clinicians often say to me: “I want to include Nutritional and Integrative Medicine methods into my practice but I am not sure where to begin or how to do this? And, “what am I allowed to do?
Many clients are already self-prescribing based on information obtained on the Internet or their friends. While many of these clinical methods have few negative side effects, some herbal supplements, juice fasts and other apparently healthy activities can have significant adverse outcomes if not tailored to the individual’s psychobiology.
This training will provide state-of-the-art, clinical skills you need to help your clients safely navigate nutritional and integrative medicine.
You will also have opportunity to discuss cases, ask questions, develop new assessment skills and explore both metaphorical and scientific language that allows for effective communication with clients. Guest speaker, Dr. Mary Ann Osborne, Nurse Practitioner, will join us during the retreat to share her specific area of expertise.
This content-rich retreat is organized with plenty of down time for rest, rejuvenation and relaxation in the pool or even for nourishing naps and massages. The Sedona Mago Retreat Center is in the magnificent desert landscape with labyrinths, walking paths, night skies and sunny days in which to rejuvenate while learning integrative clinical skills.
I look forward to seeing you in Sedona!
