Trinity School of Natural Health is the premier resource for holistic health education. Our diverse program offerings provide comprehensive knowledge and skills to help turn your passion for healthy living into a fulfilling career.
We offer students flexible online classes, interaction and support from instructors with practical experience, opportunities to network with fellow students and graduates, and no travel is required.
Many students begin their studies looking for answers to health concerns for themselves or their families. Others know from the start that they want to help clients in an office or store. Whatever your goal, a natural health education provides valuable information you can use to help improve well-being.
As a non-denomination, non-profit educational institution, we understand the importance of whole body care and integration of the body, mind, and spirit. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds and beliefs and are proud to have graduates from all 50 states and over 40 countries.
A professional designation from Trinity signifies formal training in the natural health concepts and techniques, which are beneficial when working with clients. Our graduates often use their education in private practices, group clinics, retail stores, online businesses, public education, or writing. We do not provide job placement.
A professional designation is a title earned after completing a certification program in a professional field. It serves as a benchmark for training and professional qualifications.
You may use the credentials earned from completing your program at Trinity or Board Certify with an external agency for additional title options. Always select a title that matches your practice philosophy and state or local laws. For more information on state laws, visit https://aanwp.com/naturopathic-state-laws/.
We provide non-medical education. Our graduates do not diagnose, treat, cure disease, prescribe medication, or perform surgery.
Trinity's vast program offerings provide the most relevant information across many natural health specialties. Our courses are taught by practitioners with real-world experience and delivered through the online classroom, Canvas, which allows a flexible, yet structured approach to increase student success. You access your coursework online at the best time for your schedule.
From the moment you inquire about our programs through graduation, and beyond, our Enrollment Specialists, Student Services, and instructors are here to support you. With an industry-leading curriculum delivery, low tuition, affordable payment plans, and a responsive team, we strive to provide a high-value learning experience.
