Natural Health Education
and Training Opportunities

If you would like to build your own part-time or full-time practice as a natural health practitioner, we recommend that you seriously consider the following steps toward your professional development and certification. If you become part of our family of distributors, it will be our pleasant responsibility to "mentor" you in your natural health career.

Note: You may wish to reverse the order of your Master Herbalist and Naturopathic Doctor programs, but if you are serious about the natural health profession you will eventually want to take both programs.

  1. Become a Nature's Sunshine Products Independent Distributor and begin attending local training sessions provided by Nature's Sunshine and your up-line.

  2. Begin using the Nature's Sunshine products. Don't use just the food supplements. Remember that there is also a complete line of personal care products as well: shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, lotions, salves, lip balm, sunscreen, etc. If you are currently buying these products at the drug store or variety store, you are supporting your "competitor" — anything that you can buy from yourself, you should. You shouldn't recommend products that you don't believe in, and you can't believe in a product line that you haven't tried.

    Using your own products not only helps you gain confidence in the excellent quality of the entire NSP product line, it also increases your PV/QV and gets you closer to your first bonus check. Remember that as a Manager, you get 35-40% off the retail price of your products, plus you get a bonus check for an additional 27% of the cost of every product you buy from yourself. To become an NSP manager, you only have to use $100 worth of products each month, and have only 10 customers who also use $100 worth of products each month, whether they are retail customers or Member/Distributors. Click here for the bonus schedule.

  3. Attend Nature's Sunshine's School of Natural Health to become an NSP Herb SpecialistSM, and attend Nature's Sunshine's regular Regional Meetings.

  4. Enroll in the National Association of Certified Natural Health Professionals Certification Program and become a Certified Natural Health Professional (CNHP). This program covers the basics of Body Systems, Nutrition, Iridology, and Body Works. Once you have started your CNHP program, you become eligible for significant tuition discounts from Trinity School of Natural Health.

  5. You may also want to consider becoming a Certified Iridologist through our Iridology Course.

  6. Enroll in a program to become certified as a Master Herbalist.

  7. Enroll in a program to earn a degree as a Naturopathic Doctor from Trinity School of Natural Health or from Clayton College of Natural Health.

  8. Pursue your life-long continuing education.
