Graduates Abroad – Italy
I felt so empowered by my learning as I healed myself, knowing that I could make a real difference in people’s lives.
Laura, Naturopathic Nutrition
I grew up in a small village in Italy, my life was surrounded by homemade food made by my grandmother, ate at the table with the entire family, like the proper mediterranean style model.
I was a healthy child and had robust health as I grew up, until I took the decision to go on birth control in 2014 and my life changed.
I first started experiencing mood swings, frequent infections and I didn’t feel quite like myself anymore. On top of that I was overworking, unhappy with my job and I felt without a purpose in life.
In 2017 when I finally stopped taking the contraceptive pill, my period never came back!
I was struggling with IBS, anxiety, chronic fatigue, Hashimoto’s and what I now know it was leaky gut! I was diagnosed with hypothalamic amenorrhea and doctors only solution was going back on the pill. I felt totally judged, dismissed and broken.
So I started wondering; where did all went wrong? I begin to realise that I have changed my eating habits and my lifestyle, following a typical western diet and I finally saw the value and the meaningful impact that nutrition, lifestyle and community have on our health.
I have decided to take my health into my own hands and after some research I knew that nutrition was the answer to my problems.
I enrolled at CNM in 2019 and I was completely amazed by the evidence-based research on nutrition and health, I was fascinated by the role of food as medicine and the emphasis on bio-individuality.
Everything finally made sense!
I straight away thought, why is this not common knowledge?
I felt so empowered by my learning as I healed myself, knowing that I could make a real difference in people’s lives.
I graduated from CNM in 2022 and I launched my practice based in Crouch end, specialising in Women’s health and hormone balance.
Getting the right qualification at CNM lead me to find my route to happiness, fulfilling my life purpose, because there is nothing more rewarding that helping others overcoming their health problems to feel like their best self!
