“The excellent classes and faculty Bauman offered gave me the confidence I needed to move forward.”


Bauman College offered me the support and education I needed to become a whole foods nutrition and healthy lifestyle counselor for women. Even before coming to Bauman, I was committed to supporting women through nutritional counseling. The excellent classes and faculty Bauman offered gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. The small private practice I started after graduating from the Nutrition Educator program in 2001 soon blossomed into Fruition Women’s Health, a full-service nutritional counseling center. We continue to grow and now have hundreds of happy clients.

The five-month Fruition Women’s Health Program helps women cultivate balanced and healthy lifestyles that can last a lifetime. We intentionally help our clients make these changes slowly and in manageable pieces. The program includes uniquely supportive one-on-one counseling, fun community-oriented cooking classes, and yoga instruction. Our hands-on cooking classes are an important component of our program, offering guided instruction in applying the theories and techniques clients learn in counseling sessions. These classes offer community based support in making lifestyle changes, with the clients experiencing first hand how easy and fun it is to cook fresh, nutritious dinners.

Attending Bauman College confirmed my belief that being healthy and well comes from creating community. It is difficult to create healthy new habits without the support of other people. I know this from personal experience and it is a big part of our commitment to clients at Fruition Health.

The community support I enjoyed at Bauman helped me deal with issues that many of my clients also face. I have overcome my eating disorder, as well as some digestive and menstrual problems. I know it would have been much harder to make key changes in my diet and lifestyle without a strong support system. I still feel my classmates, my teachers, and Ed behind me, saying: “You can do it, go for it.”
