Whole Foods Nutrition & Herbology Certification
ISOHA Programs
Whole Foods Nutrition & Herbology Consultant
Our 350 hour Whole Foods Nutritional & Herbology Consultant/Coaching Program brings together the two perspectives of scientific knowledge and Energetic properties of foods. We instruct students on how to help people nourish their lives by balancing nutrients with the energies that best complement each person’s nutritional needs. For example, an overly pressured individual will be best served by understanding which foods can open and relax his/her body mind spirit while providing the nutrients that complement the functioning of all body systems. The iSOHA Nutritional Counselor will go deeper than addressing the client’s symptoms by assessing which body system is most lacking and which is overworking. The extremes of this balance is the root/source of any and all symptoms. Physiology and Pathology are integrated with Lifestyle and nutritional deficiencies or excesses in order to provide a Holistic approach to diet.

Foods and Emotions are connected
iSOHA students’ recommendations consist primarily of whole foods and herbs as the main ingredients of a nutritional counseling session. Supplements are a secondary recommendation in cases of severe deficiencies. All life forms require three primal nutrients in order to survive. The first, is air, next is food and the third is nourishing relationships. E- Motions may, in fact, be more energizing than O2 or Food. Feelings/ E-Motions are the only sources of fuel that live and grow within us. While O2 and Food come from outside us, it is the inner fuel of sadness, happiness, anger, and inspiration, that has the ability to nourish or deplete depending on our response when these states of being are stimulated.
It is common for people to say thoughts and beliefs are important in healing. Are they as powerful as our feelings? Spiritual Development? Almost anyone can feel spiritual at a retreat in nature. People use intellectual concepts learned in ideal environments as a foundation for spiritual consciousness only to be shown the reality of their true development when challenged by the emotional conflict of a close relationship.
All of these-Physical Emotional Mental and Spiritual/Intuitive influences are addressed in a Holistic nutritional counseling session. iSOHA communication classes teach students to create rapport with clients within several states of Consciousness- 1) Physical, 2)Sensorial, 3)Intellectual, 4) Emotional, 5) Social, 6) Philosophical and 7) Intuitive.
Energetic studies include Ayurvedic, Macrobiotics, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Western diet perspectives studied include Raw, Cooked, Alkaline, high protein, and Vegan approaches. ISOHA counselors are taught to assess which of the above influences match the constitution and condition of each client. We treat people’s individual needs without ascribing to any one or right/wrong approach- BALANCE
Macrobiotic Counselor Certification
For those interested in Macrobiotic Counselor Certification or any other specialty (Herbs, Aromatherapy, Ayurveda, Chi Kung), the Internship will be CUSTOMIZED to satisfy any chosen specialty. More time will be spent comparing traditional specialty theories and practices. We study how specialties like Macrobiotic, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Herbs, Aromatherapy or Chi Kung fit into a wide application that includes cancer prevention and therapy, immunological dis-ease and any other symptomatic approach. All studies are integrated into the personal issues of each person we work with, The roots and history as described by the founders of Macrobiotics or any specialty will be studied in a way that integrates traditional practices with the many varying modern day nutritional applications.
Students can choose from the different electives and internship directions to create their own style of Nutritional Counseling. Some may like to emphasize, herbs, some aromatherapy, vegan approach etc.
iSOHA’s Macrobiotic Counseling and Cooking Certification will impart these principles and practices to all participants.
Whole Foods and Comparative Nutrition, and Food Preparation classes are best taken in the beginning of the course and the Clinical Internship will culminate the program with actual case studies.
In order to verify comprehension and hourly progress, reports, questionnaires, and tests are returned to the School for grading. Although flexibility is provided for individual situations, it is recommended that the student complete a minimum of 5 to 20 hours of coursework per week. Students write a monthly progress report to ensure continuing commitment in the course.
Completion of the remaining 50 hours of clinical internship is accomplished through detailed client history forms and nutritional recommendation guidelines, which the student writes for each client they are working with. These on-going monitored case studies provide a valuable experiential practicum and serve as the student’s thesis.
After all coursework, questionnaires, and reports have been completed, a final exam is sent to the student. The essay style exam is a measure of the student’s ability to apply their learned skills in a creative problem-solving format as the questions do not have answers that could be memorized or be found in reference material.
Affordable Payment plans can be arranged (add $175 to total Tuition of 3500 = $3675.) Once enrolled, the student is responsible for payment of the entire course.
Some students may apply previous experience and education as transfer hours which reduces both Tuition and Time commitment.
