What our students
are saying.

I’ve fulfilled my dream of being in a position to help and educate society.

“My health was affected by two chronic conditions: PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and post viral fatigue following two bouts of glandular fever in my teens. I studied at CNM to get myself well again.

Studying alongside like-minded people was amazing and the standard of training was superb. The lecturers are experts in their fields, empowering us with their knowledge.“

Corina, Herbal Medicine & Naturopathy

CNM has such an involved and supportive community. I now run a busy clinic.

“I went to see a naturopath who helped me with my hormonal issues. I soon started to feel better and this inspired me to learn everything I could about natural therapies.

I enrolled at CNM which saved my life – now I have my health back and my dream career! I get to do something I love every day and help so many people with my knowledge.“

Sarah, Herbal Medicine & Naturopathy

I set up in practice immediately after graduating.

“After gaining a BSc in Biochemistry, I worked in pharmaceutical marketing before becoming disillusioned with the pharma-led model of healthcare.

I decided to change my career completely and opted for herbal medicine as it combined my scientific background with my interest in natural health. Helping people every day is so satisfying.“
