“The audio lectures were a wealth of information, and when combined with the readings and writing assignments, I found the package to be very comprehensive and the information easy to utilize in a business setting."

 

I learned at an early age that diet would play an important role in my health when I overcame a childhood ulcer through dietary changes. When my daughter was born with reactions to foods and environmental toxins, it further impressed upon me how important the food we eat is for our wellness and overall health. For years before attending Bauman College, I taught myself many aspects of clean eating and clean living; I wrote freelance articles and gave presentations in many local settings on topics of clean, healthy living.

After completing the initial years of a dietetic program, I was disenchanted by the lack of focus on wellness through foods. Thankfully, a wonderful woman and chef pointed me in the direction of Bauman College. I was able to take my acquired information and experience with foods and their relation to health and allergies, combine that with my Nutrition Educator certification, and fine-tune all of my education into a successful practice. Before finishing the program, I had already begun work doing private consultations through our local DAN (Defeat Autism Now) practitioner/ Chiropractor office. In addition to private consults, I also give presentations on a range of topics through class sessions on a bi-monthly basis and I have joined a non-profit resource center to support families of children with autism. My participation as a board member of Circle of Care  allows me to continue being on the front edge of educating and helping others about food, which is so important for all of us. While many clients are looking at dietary changes to help with autism-related symptoms, I also see a wide range of individuals who are looking to improve their health and increase their knowledge about the foods that they eat.

I recommend Bauman College to others who are passionate about wellness and who are looking to learn more. I appreciate the mentor assistance both during and after completion of the program. The audio lectures were a wealth of information and, when combined with the readings and writing assignments, I found the package to be very comprehensive and the information easy to utilize in a business setting. It is very exciting to me that, even here in Iowa, I can succeed in business through non-traditional channels in a way that both enriches my life and the lives of those I am able to work with.
