The Holistic Consulting Institute provides structured, supervised residency training for nutrition professionals, herbalists, and integrative health practitioners — so you graduate ready to practice, not just certified.
School teaches you what to know. A residency teaches you how to practice.
The Institute serves practitioners at three distinct stages. We meet you exactly where you are — and guide you to where you want to go.
You've just finished your nutrition or health coaching program — and now you don't know how to actually start. Imposter syndrome is real, your scope of practice feels blurry, and you've never seen a real client. We solve all of that.
Explore LAUNCHYou're working with clients but struggling to stay consistent — with your caseload, your confidence, or your credentials. You want to earn your BCHN, expand your network, and build a practice you're proud of.
Explore GROWYou're confident in your practice and ready to specialize. Clinical herbalism, functional testing, field expert positioning — the MASTER residency is where exceptional practitioners go next.
Explore MASTERA residency is a structured, supervised clinical training program completed after formal education — where you apply real knowledge in real-world settings, under expert mentorship.
Most programs teach you theory. The HCI residency model is designed to bridge the gap between what you know and what it takes to build a successful, confident holistic health practice.
Teaches you what to know. Content, theory, and concepts — but no supervised application.
Teaches you how to practice. Supervised case work, live mentoring, and real-world systems.
A clear progression from new graduate to recognized specialist. Each stage builds on the last — so you're always moving forward with intention.
Build the foundation for a confident, client-ready practice — from business setup to client intake systems to finding your first paying clients.
Deepen your clinical skills with functional nutrition training, systems-based case work, and live mentoring three times a week.
Specialize in clinical herbalism and functional testing. Earn expert positioning, publish case studies, and differentiate your practice.

"I honestly don't think I would be where I am today without this program. A month before graduating, I was questioning everything — my degree, my confidence, and whether I could actually make a career out of this field. I felt stuck and discouraged. Through this program, I found my footing, my first job, and my belief that I actually belonged here."
"Joining Holistic Consulting has changed my life. Graduating with a degree does not mean you feel prepared to do the work, have a business, or effectively counsel a client. David and Sean teach real work skills and help you every step of the way."
"David and Sean's program has truly been a game changer for me. I thrive with structure and support, and this program delivered exactly that. I finally feel like I'm not doing this alone — having a network and community is everything."
