PTSD, or some less clinical form of emotional trauma is rampant on both the individual and societal level. Almost everyone has experienced some form of lingering emotional shock, whether directly or vicariously. As a culture, we may avoid or are highly reactive to certain topics/people, while at the same time may feel helpless to improve situations. Some of us get stuck in negativity or struggle. PTSD wears many faces and if we are not aware of working through our pain, we may get stuck there.

International speaker and author, Marcus Bird, from Wellness Leadership Academy (WLA), travelled all the way from Australia to present the latest cutting edge wellness industry trends at the very first Wellness Leadership Revolution event at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) on March 20th.

The field of complementary and integrative health is rapidly accelerating, so lifelong learning is a critical aspect to invest in to be effective and successful as practitioners to serve your clients and patients in the best way possible.

As the health and wellness coaching field has evolved, the number of choices has expanded for health, health and wellness, and/or wellness coach training programs, offered also by non-accredited organizations. Accredited and non-accredited programs are delivered in different formats—online, in-person, or hybrid. Here are some factors for you to consider when choosing a program that gets your health and wellness coaching career off to a good start.

Curiosity about natural healing with herbs is universal. One way to deepen your knowledge of how to use herbs for your own health, as well for that of your family and friends is to take this 12-credit Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Herbal Studies. The training will provide herbal enthusiasts with a foundational knowledge of herbal sciences, as well as an understanding of the wellness-based tradition of herbal medicine.

There are three primary approaches to Ayurveda, the first being ahara. Ahara focuses on a basic physical, or “constitutional” analysis of visual cues including a tongue, nail, and facial analysis, as well as approaches to health and well-being that focus on cooking, food, and culinary spices.

Healthcare is changing, and accompanying that change is a renewed interest in the power of food to maintain health and wellness. As this interest increases, there is a need for individuals who understand the vital and interrelated physiological, environmental, socio-cultural, and spiritual roles of food in our lives.
