In general, nutrition is an age old study, but the classroom study of holistic nutrition was first instituted in Canada in 1994 by Danielle Perrault.  Now the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition has 11 classroom branches across Canada plus a Distance Education branch. Branch contact information is found on our website, www.csnn.ca under ‘About Us’.

 

CSNN offers a comprehensive practical foundation program in Natural Nutrition leading to the Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) designation, an Advanced Nutrition program for holistic nutritionists, plus an Eldercare Program leading to the RECP designation. (www.csnn.ca). At CSNN we are committed to providing practical career tools, and strong support networks and student services.  CSNN publishes holistic nutrition books, some of which are exclusive to CSNN students.

 

At CSNN we are proud of our graduates, Registered Holistic Nutritionists (RHNs)*, who are increasingly being recognized and respected in the health care industry, and who are leaders in the holistic nutrition field.  Holistic Nutritionists* are dedicated professionals, who help educate individuals and the public about the health benefits of natural nutrition, in order to achieve optimal health. A Holistic Nutritionist* typically evaluates a client’s individual nutritional needs and then provides the client with an individualized plan which includes food, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations.  Foods recommended are natural, alive, and of good quality.  Holistic Nutritionists* provide meal plans and recipes for their clients and some provide cooking lessons and shopping tips.  Holistic Nutritionists* support local organic food and farming, are knowledgeable about optimal food production practices, and are conscious of the connection between the environment, whole foods, food preparation, and people’s health and wellbeing.

 

* In the Atlantic Provinces and Quebec, Registered Holistic Nutritionists refer to themselves as Registered Holistic Nutritional Consultants, and in Alberta they refer to themselves as either Holistic Nutritionists or Holistic Nutritional Consultants.
