The FDN Certification course provides the education and training that you will need to become a successful functional health coach. This training will give you what you need to know to help you to establish a healthy practice….from the intake of new clients, the creation of healing protocols that are individualized to the needs of each client, tools for continuing health coaching and effective client management.
All of this is brought to you from an easy to use online learning platform that is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
