Monthly Mentorship Program

Sprouting Nutritionists and Coaches (SNC) provide support and assistance to integrative & functional nutritionists who wish to get credentialed in the field. 

​

CNS candidates are required to obtain 1,000 hours of supervised practice in clinical nutrition care. BCNS requires that for every 40 hours a CNS candidate works towards meeting their competencies, a minimum of 1 hour must be spent with their CNS supervisor.

​

The Monthly Membership Program builds in all the requirements and needs to achieve your Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) from making sure you meet the BCNS requirements while building a community with colleagues at the same time for a low monthly payment. Below is everything you will receive with this monthly mentorship program.

Community Chat

Groups

When you begin your monthly membership, you will be invited to a Private Group Chatting Area via Facebook where you can ask questions and gain support from supervisors and all active members while working through the CNS Supervised Practice hours. CNS supervisors will monitor them daily to ensure your needs are met in between one-to-one sessions, so if you need a clinical question answered or approved for certain aspects, you can get it approved. We hope to foster a community to motivate one another through sharing, especially as we grow.
