How to become a Natural Health Consultant : Overview
If you're interested in alternative medicine and beauty--acupuncture, aromatherapy, Bach flowers, herbal remedies--you could become a natural health consultant.
Alternative healthcare training
Some branches of alternative healthcare--acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathy, nutrition--require a bachelor's degree and clinical experience. Others, like aromatherapy, require expertise, but not necessarily a formal degree. Healthcare--even alternative healthcare--may be government-regulated and require certification. In natural health consulting, experience matters as much as training.
Becoming a natural health consultant
Most natural health consultants are self-employed, though some work at alternative health centers or day spas. The fees you receive for your services vary widely depending on the services you offer and your reputation and experience in the field. A knack for marketing will help to get your healthcare consulting practice off the ground. Be prepared to work hard--you'll need to keep your customers happy to get referrals and stay in business.
