Hi All

On the back of my successful and fulfilling campaign last year I would really like to add another string to my bow and need your help once again to acheive it. 

My project which was Mindfulness for Teens ran for 6 weeks and saw students plus parents come through the doors and take a journey that I hope will define thier future in a positive way. I had excellent feedback and hope that i made lasting friendships. 

I am about to embark upon a 60 hour online course that I have funded myself and the course will introduce me to the foundations of becoming a nutritional therapist. This is a perfect beginning and scene setter for my bigger picture. 

I was recently diagnosed with Osteoartritis in my spine, the last year has been challenging and continues to be a mix of trial and error, but one thing I have noticed is that when my nutrition slides, my pain goes up! I am working to learn and apply this science that my body is showing me and work with what i have and follow this finding along the pathway its leading me down. 

I have read books about people who have cured themselvs of degenerative and auto immune disease entirely through nutrition! food is thy medicine! Pain is invisible, its hard to explain unless your in it, i want to expand on what my own body is teaching me, become qualified and add this valuable string to my bow. 

I am trying to beleive that this is happening to me because its leading to something. I reafuse to accept this as my fate and so am making a stand to turn it on its head and use it for good! 

My bigger plan is to study and become a full time practitioner, combining my yoga qualification (200 hours) and an eventual diploma in nutrition. I really want to shape the way Kiwis live with and approach pain and chronic illness I want to  introduce a new approach to nutrition and movement, my plan would be to offer a combination programme to Kiwis of yoga and nutrition and self development through this. My dream is to give up my day job and fly with this. Eventually I would love to become an all round Holistic wellness practitioner, I have my eye on Reiki healing as well and I would love to have so much to offer that I can provide full packages to those who recognise they may benefit from it. 

I have a close relationship with the Graeme Dingle Foundation and am planning on becoming a mentor for thier Project K kids and would love to be able to offer my skills to charities like this and give access to low decile families to this kind of approach to health needs.

I want however to be able to start a business that will be primarily a business that will boast a nutritional therapist (me) combined with therapeautic movements through yoga and holisitic wellness solutions. I vision that what the business can eventually do, is consult to work places for thier staff well being, hold workshops and pass on the skills - through this I could even offset those less able to fund thier own healthcare needs. 

• Nutrition is a science with real life applications. I can make a difference to health outcomes in the future.
•  I need however is a meaningful qualification to allow me to practice legally and above board as well as being extremely knowledgable in my field. I anticipate a 4 year study window to get to the biggest picture and about $$4k a year of study! plus books. WOW! 
• I am looking at options with Wellpark, South Pacific and Natropathic College of NZ

• I physically cannot fund this alone, Its not something that is possible for me and so I am looking for help to fund my first year of study and go from there. 

Thank you! 

Nina
