CNM’s Natural Chef course changed my life.
I was a happy and passionate PhD student working on a project in the field of cardio-surgery when unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with cancer (one of the worst, with a low survival rate).
My life felt destroyed, my psyche was non-existent and my family was seriously concerned. I cried and prayed together with my family, religious community and friends. With no treatment success guaranteed, my situation was deemed serious by various MDs and surgeons.
I enrolled on CNM’s Natural Chef Course
Following chemotherapy, still very ill but still with faith, I went with my mum to a CNM Open Day in London. I visited the Kitchen, talked with staff members and enrolled on the CNM Vegan Natural Chef diploma course. I wanted to achieve full control over the most important thing — food and nourishment — to help my body cope with the huge fatigue caused by the cancer treatments. We are chemistry and food is chemistry too, I thought, and when I met Nadia, CNM’s lecturer, I had the confirmation that I was in the right place.
A Life-Saving Decision
At CNM, I was able to build day-by-day confidence, self-esteem and healthy vegan nutrition. Plus, I was becoming a truly professional chef because naturopathic cooking is both an art and a profession.
My Cancer went into Remission
Taking full control of my own nutrition helped my body to speed up the healing process; in fact, one year after my CNM attendance, I had the wonderful news that my cancer was under control, going into remission phase, and today, I am still alive.
My mum said that supporting me economically at CNM has been the best investment she has ever made in her entire life, saying “I can enjoy truly delicious naturopathic food and have my daughter with me.”
