Where can an IHS qualification take you?
Svetlana Sarantseva
BA (Hons), Cert IHS, MFNTP
Founder, Certified Dietary Coach
Member of FNTP The Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners
Svetlana graduated the IHS Certificate in Dietary Counselling in 2012.
After graduating from IHS I went on to build my business almost the following day. I had a ready website waiting to go live, a few marketing strategies to implement, and a coaching concept to sell. I knew I had to start to consult immediately if I wanted my business to be successful, so I started to offer consultations free of charge to understand what people were looking for. As a result I have developed a weight loss coaching concept.
When I started my business, I knew that I would not want to run it as a conventional practice. I proactively search for my clients and spend time with them until we have covered all areas of their concern. I have also established a proactive follow-up system, which is really popular among my clients — it’s a lot of hard work, but that’s what make peoples come to me. Knowledge, confidence and genuine care. I’ve tried my business model in different markets, and what I have learned is that no single market is easier than the other. To grow the business, a lot of experimentation, patience and hard work is required. Hard work as in working Monday to Sunday.
The concept that I offer does not focus on calorie count, but rather on using a structure that allows my clients to eat a huge variety of wholesome foods. I coach my clients on how to optimize their digestive system and choose the right foods for ongoing detoxification and better wellbeing. The program is specifically tailor-made to my clients’ lifestyle, food likes and dislikes — that’s exactly what I’ve learned from my education at IHS.
