Kelli Summerfield Thank you, AIHM - you have opened doors for me I never knew existed! What a journey it has been! To me the course has been a solid foundation to further study, and although I do not yet plan to set up my own clinic and work as a naturopath, I would not have missed these four years for anything! I have learned so much, from the brilliant and passionate lecturers, my fellow students and the public, plus from my own family and friends who's attitude towards me has been subtly changing to afford me greater respect as someone in the natural health field. I started nice and fresh and eager in 2003 in the mid year intake, all set to study for three years and gain my Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy. And so the journey began! The further I studied, the more I wanted to study. I liken it to first being in a large room with one or two doors. The more I studied, the more doors appeared in that room, until now, at the end of my study and just before graduation, I can say that there are now so many doors in that room I don't quite know which one to go through first! To me this course has given me a thorough grounding in natural health and healing with possibilities for further study and refining of knowledge. But which direction to turn to! There are so many fields out there, from the wider base of naturopathy to the more Specialised avenues. Standing as I am at the edge of the big wide world, I can very confidently say that even if I never use the skills I have gained as a naturopath to help other people in a professional capacity, I am so glad to have done it for my own personal knowledge. It has been not only a journey of pen, paper and knowledge, but also that of a personal discovery and lifestyle change. In studying naturopathy I have become aware of my own lifestyle and diet, and looking back over the four years I have been here (yes, it took me an extra year), where I am now and where I have come from seem miles apart. And I think if you are truly passionate about what naturopathy means and what it represents, then you cannot study it and work within its fields without practicing what you preach. And for that I am truly grateful! I have met some wonderful people and learned from fantastic practitioners, learned to look at things from different angles, to look beyond common public knowledge.... and along the way I have picked up an earnest urge not only to better myself and my health, but to help other people and to share the knowledge of natural health to the best of my ability! So thank you, AIHM - you have opened doors for me I never knew existed!

Trudy Lyons
“ Embarking on a new career in Natural Medicine for me at 45 yrs of age proved to be the most rewarding challenge of my life to date—I have not only been part of a growing college community at the Institute but also had the satisfaction of completing the Diploma of Natural Medicine in 3 years which has enabled me to start a new career based on sound fact and knowledge as well as doing something I thoroughly love and believe in—what a wonderful way to commence the next chapter of my life!"

Suellen Pens
“Well, the last three years have been a very exciting time for me personally and also for the Institute. I feel very privilege to have been a part of our College during last three years to watch it grow in student numbers as well as in facilities. The only thing that has been constant is the excellent education and lecturers."

Daniel Talbot, Deg Soc Sc, Ad. Dip. Bus. Man.
“The learning environment at AIHM, the student clinic and associations with other colleges and universities, have contributed significantly towards my education in natural therapies. I look forward to my continuing studies at AIHM and feel secure in the knowledge that I am receiving quality of education in this rapidly growing profession.”

Andrew Cathles, Thornlie Naturopathic Centre
“My decision to study at Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine was only made after careful consideration of every option available within Australia. Correspondence courses were quickly discounted, as regular classroom interaction is essential in this field of study. The Institute’s weekend course enabled me to undertake my studies on a full time load basis, whilst maintaining a part time job. I am pleased with the education provided, and the lecturers were always very helpful and supportive. Studying the Diploma of Natural Medicine, Diploma of Herbal Medicine and Graduate Diploma of Clinical Acupuncture, has given me a sound base from which to practice Natural Medicine. Since graduating in 1999, I have also completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine). This would not have been possible without the great foundation that the Institute gave me over my 3½ years of study.”

Stephanie Back
“I chose this Institute as I had heard of its holistic approach to it’s staff, students and curriculum and I have certainly found this to be the case. I believe that Natural Therapies encompass a healthy way if life and the AIHM reinforces this belief."

Dianne Dawkins
“Studying at the Institute was more than an education. In my time at the college I have been exposed to much more than I first knew was available in health care. The elective units of study, the on-site clinic and the attitude of lecturers and staff has made studying at the Institute a pleasure that has put me on solid ground for my future career.”

Tracey Traynor

“The education that I have received from Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine has provided me with an excellent grounding and knowledge of natural medicine. In addition, I have obtained the confidence and appropriate ability to practice what I have learnt. The structure of the education and the learning environment combined with supportive lecturers, college staff and fellow students has ensured my experience at the Institute to be highly enjoyable and rewarding”

Daniel Talbot, Deg Soc Sc, Ad. Dip. Bus. Man.
"When I commenced my Diploma of Natural Medicine I had certain goals and ambitions. Since that time my personal circumstances have changed and I now study natural medicine for the enjoyment, rather than an alternative means of vocation. Recently I have commenced using what I have learned at AIHM to treat my colleagues, in the Western Australia Police Service, for stress related conditions and indeed any other ailments they present with. My Certificate in Clinical Acupuncture has provided me with the qualification and confidence to assist my work colleagues during times of stress. Having gained my Diploma of Homoeopathy, I am pleased by the completion of another “milestone” towards my Bachelor of Naturopathy. It is these milestones that add up to a well grounded, useful and most importantly, enjoyable, educational experience."

Barnaby Grubelich
"My time at Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine (AIHM) has been life changing. Not only did I learn the skills to springboard myself into a career of natural medicine, I befriended some of the most inspiring individuals one could hope to meet. The teachers were very approachable and had vast amounts of knowledge to impart on the enthusiastic mind. My fellow students came from all corners of society, all working positively towards learning the holistic principles needed to enrich one’s life. The administration staff was excellent, always bending over backwards to provide the services required to become a successful naturopath. Enrolling at AIHM has been one of the best decisions I have made. I remember one lecturer say, “Knowledge is power,” and I feel empowered by coming to the college. I look forward to continuing my association with AIHM and thoroughly recommend the college for anyone who is interested in field of natural medicine."

Maria Page
“Through my studies I have learnt many, many things that have helped me to better my life and health. It is through the understanding of how we function as humans and what factors influence this functioning, that we can begin to understand how illness manifests. The lecturers and the staff at AIHM are very supportive and will always try to assist where they can. Most of the lecturers are not only lecturers but professionals and experienced in their field. They have had their own life experiences and this enables them to be understanding and non-judgmental when dealing with student needs. My time at AIHM has certainly changed my life and the knowledge I have gained will help me to help others who are interested in a healthier, happier life.”

Beatrice Descamps
"I have just graduated as a Naturopath and I am excited at the prospect of practicing and putting into use the information I have accumulated over the last 3 years. When I started to study I knew so little about health and Natural Therapies. I know there is still so much more to learn, but at least I feel confident with starting my new career. I am really happy I chose Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine to study. Throughout my studies I felt welcome, supported, encouraged and inspired by the lecturers, the clinic supervisors and the administration staff. I have also made lasting friendships that are very special to me. Lastly, with it’s native trees and large lawn, the campus is a beautiful place to study. I deeply recommend it."

Sharon De Pledge
“I think my decision to study Natural Medicine was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. It has benefited my family, my friends, all the people around me and me. I completed my Diploma in Herbal Medicine and have established my practice and already I am receiving referrals from medical specialists so that we can work together in the best interest for the best results for our clients.”

Peter Harrod
“I graduated with a Diploma in Natural Medicine and a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Acupuncture. I found my time at the Institute not only a time of professional development and learning but also of personal development and learning and a forging of great friendships and the forging of a whole new way of life for me.”

Frank Morellini - AIHM Graduate 2000
“Prior to coming to AIHM I studied at University and I found the quality of lecturers and the course content is on a par with Uni. One of the main differences being the interaction between lecturers and students – due to the relatively small class numbers at AIHM. There is more of a personal feel, almost like a one-on-one tuition. I am grateful to the AIHM for creating a higher awareness and improving the credibility of Naturopathy within the wider community and making Natural Medicine a more accepted form of treatment”

Kevin Fergusson
“I first decided to study Natural Medicine after emergency brain surgery to correct a burst aneurism in my brain. I enrolled in the Bridging Course at the Institute and haven’t looked back since. On starting studying here (at the Institute) I was actively encouraged to attend the student clinic and with the help of students and practitioners I have lost 23 kilos and although I have been a chronic asthmatic all my life, I haven’t had any symptoms for quite some time. Best of all, I haven’t had a headache for 6 months.”

Tony Morrell - Natural Therapy Clinic – Victoria Park, WA
“I don’t think there would be a day that you don’t access the thinking that you learn during your training at the Institute of Holistic Medicine. So I would certainly commend Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine to anyone who is interested in a career in Natural Medicine.”

Diana Oliver – Fremantle Natural Therapy Clinic
“I decided to pursue a career in Natural Medicine and did this at Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine. After finishing the courses in Natural Medicine and Acupuncture I opened up a practice in Fremantle which has gone very well.”

Madelaine Bishop - AIHM Graduate 1995 currently an AIHM Clinic Supervisor and Lecturer
“I am proud to be a Graduate of the AIHM. My training has enabled me to successfully take up a career in Naturopathy.
