Here's what our Graduates are Saying!

Our graduates are our biggest champions! Learn how Functional Nurse Academy has helped to change their careers!

The breadth of the FNA course material presented was as comprehensive as any other courses available on the market, but went the extra mile by offering business coaching and startup materials which NO other courses on the market are offering. I REALLY appreciate that 90 CEU's were available for credit by completing this course. That alone is worth the price. I VERY MUCH appreciated the Christian perspective throughout some of the modules and a special focus in the Spiritual Health module. It was priceless! By the end of the course I felt as though Functional Medicine is more of a "common sense" approach to wellness, and have felt supported with every step of setting up my new business.
