Holistic Practices in Nutrition

This course is designed to enable people working in education, care and social enterprise to connect with the potential of a practical food culture that has health, nutrition and wellbeing at its heart.

The course is a symbiosis of biodynamic agriculture, current medical understanding of the human microbiome and the implementation of holistic support and care. The training is a blend of theory and practical workshops. It is open to all staff, but is aimed at people directly involved in food preparation and is delivered by Trust experts.

Faculty

Jasmin Frances (Cross-Trust course lead), Berni Courts (quality assurance), Aimee Bensley, Felix Kary, Charlie Smith and other practitioners from all provisions.
