I was a student of the Nutrition Consultant program and recently graduated in May 2024. The program was excellent, and the staff at Bauman are top notch. I am based on the east coast and always wanted to go back to school to get a degree in the holistic and functional medicine space. Many of the ND schools are west coast based so that was not an option for me. My naturopath recommended this program, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The curriculum is excellent, the pace is fast, and the staff is very supportive. I am now a certified Nutrition Consultant, and the certification will support the business I own, and give me the opportunity to help my clients from a functional nutrition perspective. To anyone considering Bauman College, you will not regret it!

When seeking a nutrition program that was backed by science and research, I found Bauman College. Not only are the instructors knowledgeable, but theyre kind, caring, and passionate about what they do. Danielle, my instructor, was always so thoughtful and helpful whenever we had questions. The entire process is simple and at Bauman, they walk you through everything so youre never feeling alone or left behind. The information is high-quality and Im more than equipped to use my education in any way I desire. Tiffany teaches business in a practical and relatable way and the support is unlike any other! I highly recommend giving Bauman College a try.

I started my journey at Bauman in July 2023, and I have learned so much thus far. I have experience in the food industry, but learning about the nutrition in the food and how we can use that nutrition for a healthier lifestyle has been life changing.I have been encouraged in this course with my teachers, mentors and classmates and the best part of learning at Bauman is being able to use all this information to help my existing and new clients. I come into contact with people often who are looking for holistic nutrition and health and I am thrilled I can offer my knowledge and skills.I have a few more months to complete my course and I am looking forward to becoming a graduate of Bauman College!

I LOVE Bauman College. I have been enrolled in many different schools and universities for various degrees, certificates and continuing education opportunities, all before deciding to study nutrition. So I can say, with a lot of experience to compare it to, that studying holistic nutrition at Bauman College was an exceptional educational experience. It was life changing. From the rigorous curriculum to the depth of knowledge and experience of the instructors, from the diversity of the student population to access and time spent with both students and teachers online, you will be amazed at what a profoundly rewarding program this is. As I continue on this path and build my own nutrition business, the essence of my nutritional and health philosophies will remain rooted in what I learned at Bauman. Bauman transformed my understanding of health and disease and gave me a new framework to understand not only food and nutrition but really the world we live in.

Attending Bauman College was a truly transformative experience for me. The nutrition consultant program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of holistic health and wellness, going beyond just food to explore topics like sustainable agriculture and the American food system. The learning experiences, supportive community, and knowledgeable faculty all contributed to my growth and development as a holistic nutrition consultant. I am grateful for the invaluable education and skills I gained during my time at Bauman College, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a career in holistic nutrition or simply deepen their understanding of health and wellness.

Bauman is a wonderful higher education institution. The staff is very warm and welcoming. Being in the online program, I was initially nervous about being able to communicate when I needed to, but there are so many avenues available for communication if you have questions, need extra help, tutoring, or just want to have a conversation. Plus, Danielle Male is one of the best teacher/mentors that I could have. I highly recommend Bauman Colleges Holistic Nutrition program!

Bauman is an absolutely fantastic school! I am currently enrolled in their Nutrition Consultant program and have learned so much! The team of educators/tech and all in between that I have connected with are all compassionate to their work and committed to each student. I really feel it is more like a family, and every virtual classroom, though structured, feels like I am catching up with friends. The positive nature of this program is inspiring the next generation of confident N.C.s and I am so grateful to be part of it!

I am a Nutrition Consulting student here at Bauman College. I will be receiving my certificate in a few months and would recommend this course to anyone that would like to serve others and ones self by truly getting down to the cellular level on what is means to be healthy. The Nutrition Consulting program develops you to have the skills to both be a open ear to guiding others to reach their optimal health and wellbeing, but also gives you a very strong base of how our bodies function and use food on a molecular level. When I started this course I was faced with a health scare and I found both community, support and understanding from peers and instructors that empowered me to heal. Here near the end of this certificate program I find myself confident and prepared to consult others professionally on their wellbeing. This program is both deeply academic and compassionate at the same time. The instructors are passionate and very knowledgable. Highly recommend.

This is an incredible collage with the most approachable staff and instructors. I have done many online courses in the past and they’ve always treated me like a number. Bauman collage has changed that perspective for me. The staff at Bauman collage ensure that you are treated with respect and care every step of the way. With ongoing support and really fantastic industry knowledge, I feel that I am being well equipped for a career as a holistic chef. I would recommend the Holistic Chef course to anyone, whether you’re interested in learning about holistic cooking as an interest or you want to make a career out of it. This course is easy to navigate, with incredible instructors and mentors along the way. It is extremely professional and comprehensive and I have really enjoyed being enrolled at a student.

I graduated from Bauman College in the Holistic Chef Program in August 2023.When I started the program, I had already attended traditional culinary school and had over 24 years of experience in the food industry, particularly in restaurant and catering kitchens but I felt that I was missing an understanding of nutrition and how food could be used to heal our bodies.Two years before enrolling, my father was diagnosed with cancer and I knew then that this was the point in both my professional and personal life that I had to make a change and enrolled in the program. Bauman College offered me the opportunity to study whole food and how it can aid in the healing of our bodies.The Chef instructors taught the courses from a place of conviction, compassion and professionalism, while preparing the students with entrepreneurial skills. Upon graduation, I was able to immediately start my own Holistic Personal Chef Business and joyfully offering my clients healthy, nutritious, balanced customized meals for their dietary needs.I highly recommend Bauman College to anyone who is looking to further their understanding of nutrition and cooking.

I am so grateful that I found Bauman College to pursue my passion. This experience has been so enriching, fulfilling and blissful. I feel truly blessed and confident enough to help my future clients in this journey to improve their health while reaching their goals and enjoying the process at the same time. At Bauman, we have been able to learn from different resources, practice with real life study cases and get direct feedback from our tutors. I would definetly encourage others to take on this journey as I did almost two years ago.Thanks Bauman College for such a wonderful experience!

Bauman College opened up a world and a career for me that I had never imagined. I was burned out from working in the entertainment industry for 20+ years and knew I needed a change. I decided to go to traditional culinary school, but found that none of the instructors in that school could answer my questions of WHY we were preparing certain foods for people so, I enrolled in Bauman Colleges online Nutrition Consultant program and never looked back.For the first time in my life I felt excitement about the material I was studying. Learning about how nutrients impact our bodies and how sometimes healthy foods can actually cause disease and inflammation in some people blew my mind. I gained the skills to tailor a diet to an individual and, during my externship experience, started teaching this information to large groups in corporate settings as well as community organizations.A decade later, I still work with some of these organizations, presenting classes to older adults teaching them how to cook nutrient dense meals and choose foods that will be healing from them. I also run my private nutrition consulting practice, Two Hearts Nutrition, helping individuals navigate the very complicated and personal world of food to restore their energy and better manage their health. I never get tired of helping my clients put the puzzle pieces together to find a way to nourish themselves. I can finally see the difference Im making in peoples lives with my work.Over the years, Ive also worked as the Wellness Educator for a big bone broth company, authored a healthy eating cookbook, and worked as an instructor for several colleges teaching cooking and nutrition classes. Ive come full circle back to Bauman College and manage the Holistic Chef Culinary Program where we not only teach you to cook delicious meals, but also show WHY these foods are health supportive and HOW you can utilize them to help people heal.I wholeheartedly recommend Bauman College to anyone who has a passion for feeding people and wants to see them flourish.

I get super excited to record videos of what I am doing and take pictures and start saving these for myself as well to show myself this journey. I felt a sense of blessing as I finished this lab because I am obsessed with Bauman college the curriculum and the course!! I am learning so much already that I did not know, and I cannot wait to eat salads this week with my new vinaigrette and eat raw veggies with my new homemade hummus. Learning this new healthy lifestyle and making the food is top tier.

I had never heard of Bauman College before this but I feel like I truly found a diamond in the rough! The professors are amazing and they always go above and beyond to work with each students’ schedule to make sure everyone can move forward and succeed! Ms. Beverly has been the best support system throughout my time in this program! She never fails to reach out via text or email to send a reminder to submit assignments or to just offer words of encouragement! All of the other staff as well are wonderful with leaving feedback on submitted assignments and lending support along the way! I could go on and on about how awesome this program is but I really am grateful to have this experience!

I attended Bauman College a number of years ago for the in-person holistic culinary program. It opened my eyes to a whole culinary world beyond flavors and techniques, feeding my love for food, igniting my passion for cooking, and teaching me concrete knowledge about how to use these culinary skills to support health and wellbeing.Holistic Chefs are needed so greatly now as more and more people need support with specialty diets to feel their best while living with various health conditions. After graduating, I had the skills I needed to start my own personal chef business and saw great demand for these services.If youre passionate about food and using it to support wellness, this is the place to up-level your knowledge and skills to reach your goals and make a positive impact in your communities.I enjoyed my time at Bauman so much that I returned to the online program first as a Teaching Assistant and then as a Culinary Instructor to stay immersed in the culture and keep connecting with other people passionate about cooking for wellbeing. Its a diverse community of folks with a wide array of backgrounds and perspectives, that is inspiring to be a part of!

Thus far, Bauman College has been the best educational experience that I have received. I have a business degree and pastry diploma; actively working in pastry. I am currently in the midst of the Holistic Nutrition Consultant program, and it has been life-changing.The program itself spans 15-months, and covers in-depth aspects of holistic healthfulness. The program is also designed in a way that reaches any learning style an individual might have (application of concepts is a key step for me), and accompanied with an abundance of resources.As we all do, I have encountered several personal challenges during the course of this program, and I cant speak enough gratitude for the staff, who have gone above and beyond everyday to guide us to reaching our goals. I have never experienced a more supportive educational team.Im inspired to work with and educate youth about how to make the best nutrition and lifestyle choices for themselves, as well as equipping them with the tools to overcome systemic barriers that have long existed. It is an honor to be part of a program that is doing a world of good. Thank you, thank you!

I had a very positive experience at Bauman College. The staff was supportive when it was needed most and they never gave up on me. I had some personal challenges during the program and struggled to keep up. I would not have been able to successfully complete the program without BC staffs motivation and support. They went above and beyond what was required. I am proud to be a part of such an amazing program Not only did i learn how to make healthy food choices, I also learned there are people out there who genuinely care ❤️

I love Bauman!!! Another pivot was in order from Covid 19, why not learn about Nutrion??!!As a full service catering company owner, my age, Covid, and stress, I was tired!! So I decided to offer private chef services. Then I began having extreme digestive issues. I decided to look at different nutritional programs and Bauman was recommended by a former professor). I dove in! Why not?I enrolled and I couldnt be any happier with my decision. I will be offering private chef services for clients with health challenges when I finish. I am excited to start a new challenge. NUTRITION!!!I am SO excited to begin another journey helping others become a healthier and happy version of themselves while changing to my own l healthy lifestyle. Lets get this party started!!!!PS, my digestive issues are under control partaking in the lifestyle education Ive embraced!!!Thank you Bauman staff!!!Fondly,Liz Hopkinson

The Holistic Nutrition courses are very in depth in that they teach not just about good nutrition in general but how nutrition and lifestyle help support health. We are taught how to address various health issues and also learn about the diseases that may come about as a result of a poor diet and lifestyle. My instructor, Beverley Rider, is awesome and those that give support are most generous. They want to see you succeed!

Following my passion and enrolling in the Bauman College Nutrition Consultant program was the best decision I made during Covid-19! The program taught me so much about the nutritional properties of whole foods and how they can promote optimal health or heal chronic conditions. We were taught about all systems in the human body down to the cellular level, and how nutritional properties and lifestyle impact our overall health. The online courses were easy to follow and created to encourage interaction with other students, and the staff were all very helpful and encouraging! I won’t say it was easy because it was a lot of detailed information, but with assignments due on a weekly basis it was manageable, one week at a time. Since graduating, I look forward to helping others find relief, or meet their health goals through diet & lifestyle. If you are considering an education in holistic nutrition I would highly recommend Bauman, they are well established and have been pioneers in the field of holistic nutrition.

Bauman College was a fabulous starting place for me as I wanted to become a nutrition coach. I took the holistic nutrition coaching program and was blown away by what I learned.

Without hesitation, I would recommend it to others who have a similar passion for nutrition and integrative medicine.

I couldnt be more proud of the education I received at Bauman College! The curriculum is so insightful and thorough. The program covers all the holistic nutrition bases, is rigorous and fast paced and requires a significant amount of commitment and effort. The instructors and staff make sure your obstacles to success are limited to the ones you make for yourself and create a truly safe space for growth and healing in yourself in the process. When you are ready to create your life with a career as a nutrition professional, call Bauman College. The exposure and confidence I leave here with has secured me with employment and further learning as a nutritionist at a reputable clinic, less than a week after graduation! The business courses at the end are inspiring and functional whether you have aspirations as an employee or have entrepreneurial goals. The sky is the limit! Thank you Bauman College!

Baumans Holistic Nutrition Consultant program gave me the strong foundation to start my own coaching practice.

I attended Bauman for the Health Coach program and I loved it! I found the teachers/coaches knowledgeable, helpful, open, friendly, funny and supportive. I was able to keep up with my work load while working my current job. I was impressed by the content and I enjoyed the reading materials. Each teacher brought something different to the table and I appreciated each perspective. Another bonus was being able to watch an experienced coach work with clients, i absorbed so much knowledge from getting to watch that process.

I had an incredibly fulfilling experience in the Nutrition Consultant course at Bauman and am a proud alumni. I chose Bauman because I wanted a program that was approachable for someone who wasnt ready for full-time graduate study and a program that was able to present nutrition information in a holistic manner and not being explicitly tied to USDA guidelines. The pacing was just right and our mentor was able to keep us on task during monthly calls and office hours. I would have liked to have had more live instruction or video instruction and hope that this can be incorporated into the curriculum in the future. That said, distance learning was a fantastic experience overall and Im grateful to have perpetual access to all the lectures and course materials as a graduate.

I completed the Holistic Chef program in July of 2022 and it was the best decision I could have made for myself. Since graduating my husband and I bought a Bed and Breakfast where I am now running my own business and cooking for guests with a variety of dietary preferences at Loganberry Inn. It had always been a dream of mine to own a B&B and graduating from the chef program gave me the confidence and skills to pursue that dream. The program was a great introduction to so many techniques, specialty diets, world flavors and traditions, business, and getting real world experience through the externship has proven to be a valuable addition to the program. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and truly want every student to succeed. This isnt like trying to learn off of YouTube videos, this is real life experience and training. Attending the weekly classes and staying on pace with the lessons and cooking labs is intense but once you graduate you will be amazed at everything you learned and can do. You will be thinking like a chef and able to pursue your own dream!

I have received high quality education in the Holistic Nutrition Consultant Program at Bauman. Beverley is very good at keeping everyone updated and her doors open for anyone with questions, feedback or concerns. She is highly knowledgeable on the content. In summary, it covers anatomy and physiology, chronic diseases and how to help heal the body through nutrition. It is intense at times with a lot of information to learn, so it is helpful if you have the time to devote to learning. I am coming to an end of my journey at Bauman, but I carry with me a new perspective on food and how it heals the body. It has made a difference in my life.

Definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a professional institute focused on helping people live a better and fulfilled life.

My experience in Bauman College is amazing: the teachers, staff are supportive, class atmosphere is nice; and also inspiring and fruitful: I could now control my own body and mind much better after I learned here so much about holistic nutrition and life style effect, as well as how to coach people, so I am now able to do more for others. My instructor is learned, dedicated, and also her modesty impressed me. The course is rigorous, science based, no bias, truly a life changing choice if you are ready to make some profound positive change on your own life or career. The online course make it work for people out of state, highly recommend.

Participating in this wonderful training was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Through the readings, multimedia resources and reflective exercises, I harvested a bounty of practical knowledge that informs the way I think about food, food systems, and eating for health.The holistic chef program truly has provided me with the necessary skills to enter the culinary world with confidence, creativity, curiosity and resourcefulness as a chef and a businessperson. A big part of the magic of this program for me was the online format, which allowed me to apply all of my learning in my own kitchen, and to nourish my family and my community with my culinary creations. In addition to learning how to prepare beautiful, nourishing food, I learned how to steward my kitchen with intention and a deep level of organization.The chef instructors are absolutely amazing, and they create a circle of care, supportive community and practical wisdom that is the secret sauce of the Holistic Chef program. In addition to receiving ongoing support through the weekly virtual classes and one on one check- ins with the chefs, while I was working on my weekly labs, the chefs and teaching assistants were always available to connect with me, help me troubleshoot, and offer tips, strategies and support.I am so grateful to these wonderful chefs. Their mentorship and role modeling has ignited my passion and given my culinary life roots and wings. As I am transitioning from being a student to entering the professional community, I feel so lucky to be part of this vibrant community, which I know will continue to be a source of connection, support and inspiration in the years ahead.

I am a recent graduate Class of November 2021 Holistic Chef. It was very challenging initially, but at the end of my journey, Im very thankful to tough it out. I had a great mentor/instructor Chef Porsche, who is very supportive and wont let you give up on yourself. If you have a love for cooking and enjoy cooking for people, Bauman is a great place to develop your culinary skills. Thank you again, Chef Porsche and the very supportive administration staff at Bauman College

I chose Bauman College after doing a lot of research. I was undecided between two schools. One school was for health coaching and Baumans nutrition program was the other. I am so glad I made the choice to attend Bauman. After completing the health coaching section of my studies, I realized health coaching was completely different from what I thought it would be. I like that health coaching is part of the curriculum, but I am glad that I chose Bauman because nutrition is definitely my passion.

I really have loved my experience as a student here at Bauman College. I needed an online culinary school and I found that is it possible to learn how to cook healthy through online live classes and labs. The staff has provided amazing support and many continue to work in their various fields as private chefs. I think the most valuable part of my experience at Bauman has been the externship opportunity. The staff helped me research private chefs and businesses that may accept a culinary extern. After finishing my externships, I have gained a position as a private chef for a client working to heal her body with food, a part-time chef position at a catering company, and a part time position doing farm to table events at a local Jewish farmhouse. I look forward to gaining experience in the culinary field and extremely grateful for a program like this one!

I have just graduated from the Holistic Nutrition program. I am very impressed with the depth behind all the materials provided. The recommended textbooks are amazing and fun to read, and the best is the kindness of the faculty members: their goal is for you to succeed and learn the stuff. You will not only gain a great and deep knowledge on the complex topic of nutrition, but build self-confidence and create an amazing sense of camaraderie.

Highly Recommend!Bauman College’s NC (nutritional consultant) program was comprehensive and challenging, but also motivating and incredibly inspiring. The things I liked best were the following:1) Support provided by the instructors, TA’s, and literally everyone. It’s like a big family and they bend over backwards to help the students be successful, from figuring out the tech part to tutoring sessions.2) Accreditation as well as the longstanding “Bauman name as one of the pioneers in the field of holistic nutrition.3) Accurate and relevant material. I have a PhD in Immunology and the college keeps its material updated with the research.4) NANP (National Association of Nutrition Professionals) approved.So glad I did it, especially In todays world where good nutrition has never been more needed.

I want to share my delight with others regarding Bauman College: Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts programs. My journey through both programs has been incredible. I started in the Holistic Nutrition Program, and now I am in the Holistic Chef Program. I really cannot say enough great things about each program.I am currently in the Holistic Chef Program, and I love all of the essential things that I am learning so far. It is a beautiful experience to learn about fresh herbs and spices and their nutritional components. I have always been interested in pairing foods, herbs, and spices together to get the most nutritional content. I am so grateful to be learning from such unique and world-class chefs and professionals.This program feels like its connecting me back to the ancestral roots of my grandparents and my great grandparents and the generations that came before them. Cooking is very grounding for me, and it feels like this is a part of myself that was missing for a long time and is now being fully integrated into the person I am becoming and want to be.This program energizes me! It is so exciting to be in the kitchen and preparing top-notch recipes, gourmet tasting, meals that are also great for a persons health and longevity and are sustainable. I am learning to think about where my food comes from, who grew it, and how far it was transported. I am more mindful of the time and energy that goes into our food system. I have a deeper and more humble awareness of the amount of food that goes to waste, and I now have a new approach to minimize waste in my kitchen, thanks to the Bauman Holistic Chef Program.I am becoming more informed about food choices and substitutions. Healthy and just as tasty food options are available that are not challenging to create. Healthy eating can taste good and better than I ever thought it could. The recipes I am making are outstanding!I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge with others and helping people live their best and healthiest lives, and I know that Bauman College is helping prepare me to achieve this goal.

One of the best decisions I made was to enroll in the Culinary Arts program. I graduated with all the skills necessary to be successful as a Personal Chef, Cooking Instructor, and Caterer. Baumans cooking instructors and staff are professional and supportive. The curriculum is comprehensive, unique, and practical. I immediately found employment as a personal chef to pro athletes as well as clients with health challenges. The knowledge and experience that I walked away with opened many doors which allowed me to explore different aspects of cooking including writing, recipe development, and meal plans. The opportunities are endless and the satisfaction of supporting others on their health journeys through food is magical. I really appreciate all the health benefits that my family and I have enjoyed from everything I learned at Bauman College.

Had to give a 2 star rating because of a couple of things I am a recent graduate and every since I’ve started none of the instructors or anybody was helpful to me and was very rude to me I felt like it was a waste of time hopefully to the future students you will be able to get the help that you need along the way

In January 2022, I completed the Nutrition Consultant course at Bauman College, Berkeley, CA. This is a fascinating, science-based, rigorous course that considers healthy lifestyle choices with an in depth look at how food and lifestyle affects the systems in the human body. This course has brought peace for me around food allowing me to fully enjoy food without guilt or misunderstandings about how to eat. For example, I have stopped counting calories and instead I enjoy a broad range of ‘whole foods’ with a good balance of macro and micro- nutrients.

I loved the fact that I found a college that wasn’t all by societal books and more for each individual person. After graduating I have been inspired to work at a farm to table catering company and volunteer at a nonprofit educating children how to garden and cook seasonally! Can’t wait for my nutritional program in the fall with Bauman! Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️🤗

I graduated from the Natural Chef program a couple of years ago and it was a great experience for me. It was an intense and very complete program where we learned how to work around a commercial kitchen, safety, making healthy and nutritious food, new ingredients and tips from our instructors and International Cuisine. I would probably just liked to have known more about the work load before enrolling so I could have organized my time in a different way but it was worth the work.Everything I learned in the program has helped me at two jobs already.

I attended the culinary program a few years ago. It was a wild, tasty, and educational ride of 5 months! I learned much about culinary techniques, cooking with restrictions, and a quick tour of cuisine around the world, all with eating for health in mind. I have come out the other side much more confident in the kitchen and have been creating my own recipes and applying what I learned everyday. It was an intense but rewarding experience. One of the highlights was also to learn from the classmates as many of them are talented and highly experienced even before entering the program. There are also some fantastic instructors who are inspirational not only in the kitchen, but also in their way of living. It was a joy to be in those classes. I do want to recommend talking to staff or alumni in depth prior to enrollment to clearly understand what this program is and is not, in order to set the right expectation both from career path and return on investments point of view.

I am currently a student here and wow am I blown away by this program. It’s clear and concise. My mentor and the staff have been one of the largest support units I’ve had during this weird season we are having. I have learned so much and I’m looking forward to sharing my skill sets with the world, this is A one of a kind institute that I couldn’t be more proud of being apart of and a future graduate from. 10/10 highly recommend this program for anyone looking for a truly in-depth, well rounded understanding of holistic health you have found the correct school. The entire staff is phenomenal! Appreciate you Diane and Emily!

I had first looked at doing this course over 20 years ago, then had twins and everything else took a back seat to raising them! As they turned 18 and the pandemic made unexpected space in my life, I jumped in and am so, so happy that I did! I learned more than I ever imagined, not only about nutrition, the science behind it all, but also how what we eat and all of the other factors, such as sleep, stress, exercise, impact our wellbeing. After graduating from this course, I immediately started seeing clients and feel very well prepared to begin this new chapter in my life as I help people take steps to start to find healing through food and lifestyle. There is a business course section to help you learn all those pieces as well!
