Why I’m Becoming A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner

Hi Everyone!

My name is Nicole, but you can call me Nikki J 🙂 I am a New York Native with a passion for health & wellness and serving my community. I have a background in Marketing and have worked in corporate business for many years.  Currently, I’m working for a Consumer Packaged Goods company that is heavily focused on providing nutritionally dense snacking options to its consumers.  Working here helped me discover my love and passion for nutrition and desire to go deeper into the nutritional wellness space.

Recently I’ve been feeling compelled to shift my focus towards an occupation that would help me make even more of an impact.  Providing me with the opportunity to educate individuals all over the world.  But most importantly the ones that don’t have access to solid, substantial, and factual nutritional information.   I find that many people in my family and community are completely unaware of the fact that the foods they consume are negatively impacting their health.  I would like to serve as a resource to those people.

 In March 2019 I enrolled in a course to become certified as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.  I started last month and am most excited to learn about mineral balance and blood sugar regulation.  I’m also really looking forward to attending the 3 in-person workshops and getting the hands-on training needed to perform the Client Functional Clinical Assessment.

After graduation, I will officially launch my nutritional coaching website and holistic wellness practice: nikkisnaturalcare.  It is a personal aspiration of mine to create affordable online nutritional resources for as many people as I possibly can.

The image below that I am sharing with you is my 2019 vision board.  It contains all that I wish to achieve, think about, remember, emulate, or embody during the course (and the remainder of 2019).

Thanks for taking some time to get to know me!
