Harry Said:

Options: Chiropractic or Nursing?

We Answered:

I'm admittedly a little biased since I'm an RN. But have you considered getting the BSN and then focus on earning certification in Complementary / Integrative Therapies or Holistic nursing, which can include massage, acupuncture / acupressure, healing touch, aromatherapy, guided imagery, yoga, tai chi, and other methods to aid in healing? Some more progressive hospitals have whole programs dedicated to providing their patients with these services as a routine part of their care and employ a whole host of various practitioners of these many specialties.

Darlene Said:

certified nutritional consultant vs. masters in holistic nutrition?

We Answered:

I would go ahead and pursue your Master's. If you get your undergrad in say personal nutrition or anything close and decide to drop the Master's program, you can still fall back on your B.S. and internship your way to an R.D. certification. I was going to jump into a M.S. in nutrition, but it's hard to find a school that offers it where I live. So, I settled for exercise science. Hope this helps, feel free to email me, I can run through the whole process if you like.

Eduardo Said:

Do you know of any schools that offer counseling, psychology and nutrition, wellness?

We Answered:

Sure

Cal Poly SLO
Cal Poly Pomona

CSU Fresno
CSU Long Beach
CSU LA [not a desirable campus]
CSU Northridge
CSU San Bernardino

UC-Berkeley
UC - Davis

Keep in mind that you will need a MSW or PhD to be a licensed counselor - perhaps a MSW/MS Nutrition would be a good program.

Now you need to do some research into each of these schools and see which has programs that you can amend to fit your goal - which is pretty cool. I sincerely wish you well and success.
