WE ARE OFFERING A UNIQUTE OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS TO BE CERTIFIED AS EDUCATORS AND TO JOIN OUR FACULTY

he reason for this urgent call is that, we are experiencing a transitional time in healthcare. There is a great
need for healthcare practitioners to accept the call to combat a spike of many diseases that have risen
to almost epidemic proportions.

According to the research of the World Health Organization (WHO); a majority of diseases are due to many
lifestyle choices, malnutrtion and environmental pollution.
"The lives of far too many people in the world are blighted and cut short by chronic diseases such as heart
diseas, stroke, cancer, chronic respitory diseases and diabetes". - Lee John-Wook, Director-General, World
Health Organization.

he facts are evident, but despite an overwhelming amount of research and analysis, the natural health
community consistently is met with resistence from forces within the health community that continually
promote the "disease-for-profit" management mandate.
ur goal is to cultivate a network comprised of our members, to create new pathways of health promotion
by the way of coaching to optimize the wellness of all people.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU FROM WOMN

Thank you for all our members who made our 2016 conference a grand success.
We hope that you found the conference informative and worthwhile. The primary
goal of the conference was to bring together our members, leaders, affiliates
and various professionals as well as friends from around the world in an open
dialogue, under one roof to discuss healthcare related issues and to develop
possible strategies as to how we can become more aware and more engaged in
the advanment of integrative and natural medicine.
We believe that our diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists provided in-depth insight, as well as, actionable and practical tools to incorporate in
our practice(s).
Your presence helped to make this event a great success and your enthusiasm
and positive spirit helped make our time together both productive and fun.
We wish you all the best and hope that you continue to be engaged with your
certifying bodies.
