Taking the Holistic OT L.E.N.S./Functional Nutrition Training has helped me grow as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and a person in so many ways! Now, when seeing patients I feel like I can look at their entire situation and make recommendations that will help target the true underlying cause of their problems, and not just cover them up or resolve for the short term. I work in the pediatric field with an emphasis on Sensory Processing Integration. Knowing the information from this program has helped me empower parents by giving them the information need in order to talk to doctors, allergists or other practitioners so that they can get appropriate testing or procedures done to help their children. This training has also helped me to grow as a person by igniting a “drive” in me to increase my knowledge base in this area through further education so that I can help prevent disease that may be caused by the factors discussed in this training. Thank you Tina!
