A Diversity of Graduates

The Clayton College student body has also continued to evolve. Many students enroll after using natural approaches to manage their own health problems and becoming passionate to continue learning. Many are healthcare professionals who wish to expand their knowledge about natural and alternative approaches and incorporate them into their existing healthcare practices. Others are individuals who seek this education as the first step on the road to exciting new careers. A large majority of our students have prior college level education before their enrollment with CCNH, and many hold advanced degrees.

“Over the years, we have been talked out of the healing power within. The rebirth of traditional naturopathy allows people to discover that they have alternative choices to getting well. As natural health practitioners in the 21st century, we must see ourselves as only its support mechanism and not assume that we are fighting the battle for the body. Therefore, any recommendations must work with the body and not fight it or suppress its own ability to defend, repair and regenerate.” —Claire Riendeau
