No. Nourish Academy welcomes registered dietitians, dietetic students, health coaches, wellness professionals, and other health practitioners who want to build whole-person care skills.

Two sets of labs (an educational blog article, an educational video, and a webinar plan), plus two live webinar deliveries. These become portfolio pieces.

Yes. Lessons, live classes, discussions, and lab submissions all happen online, so you can join from anywhere. Live classes are held via Zoom, and everything else is available on demand inside the participant platform.Weekly work is completed on your schedule by posted deadlines, plus five live 60-minute classes by video and two live webinars you deliver.

We check in first, always. If we notice you haven't started your lessons or handbook steps, expect a personal email from us asking what's going on and how we can help. Life happens, and we'd rather adjust than watch you drift. That said, Nourish Academy is a structured cohort, and staying on schedule matters for your progress and our review timelines. If non-participation continues after our outreach, your seat in the cohort, certificate, and credits may be forfeited, and tuition is non-refundable in that circumstance.

Practice, not lecture. Mock session demonstrations, peer coaching breakouts, plain-language practice, mini-teaching, and reflection with your cohort.

Once accepted, submit tuition by the enrollment deadline for your term.
