If any of this sounds familiar, keep reading.
You didn't come to holistic health because someone told you to.
You came because something wasn't working, for you, for your kids, or for someone you love, and the answers you were being handed didn't feel like enough.
So you started digging. Late nights, rabbit holes (so many rabbit holes!), audio books, podcasts, Facebook groups.
And somewhere along the way, something clicked.
You started noticing patterns, making connections, and helping the people around you in ways their doctors hadn't (or couldn't). And now you're thinking about whether there's a way to do this for real. Not just for your family, but for anyone who needs it.
And there are so many who desperately need this. Probably more than you realize!
The only thing stopping you? You don't have the credentials, the framework, or the confidence to call yourself anything official yet. And you're not willing to fake it. (You're no faker.)
That's exactly why Holistic Health Educators exists.
This isn't a pre-recorded webinar.
On August 10th, HHE founders Karen Ziemer Armes and Amy Sprouse go live for one hour to walk you through what earning a certification in holistic healthcare looks like, and what career route options you'll have after that.
It's free, it's one hour, and it's live. Come with your questions.
What we'll cover on the call
The impact of the 1910 Flexner Report on the separation of holistic and modern medicine
As the healthcare system faces a projected 900,000+ shortage of professionals, holistic practitioners help meet the unmet demand, supporting people with preventative, whole-person care the traditional system doesn't have the capacity or the flexibility to serve
A full overview of the HHE curriculum: water, movement, nutrition, digestive and brain health, neuroscience, sleep, breathing, EMFs, emotional health, detoxification, microbiome science, hormone health, immune and nervous system disorders, alternative lab testing and assessment, business building, 120 ways to heal from around the world (acupuncture and ancient Chinese medicine, herbs, chiropractic care, and more), behavior-change psychology, and much more
A live look at HHE's searchable AI tool, trained on the entire HHE library, that generates holistic protocols and health solutions for 325+ conditions
The certification tracks and the graduation requirements for each
The difference between getting "certified" and earning a "certificate"
The common career routes our graduates take
Certification tuition and payment options
Open Q&A: bring your questions
A 1:1 academic advisor is also available afterward to answer your specific questions and help you find the right path.
Which best describes you?
Pick the one that fits, then save your free seat. It helps us point you to the right path.
"Modern medicine incorporates less than 5% of the world's healing tools in daily practice."
From acupuncture to anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut microbiome health to energy healing, breathwork to at-home flexibility training... we have a way to go to make "modern medicine" actually up to date with the research.
Is this for you?
This is for you if...
You've been researching natural health on your own, out of necessity, and you're ready for a real framework to move forward with
You want to help people beyond your own kitchen table, but you need real credentials. Something you can stand behind and others can trust
You've looked at traditional degree programs and know they won't teach you what you actually want to learn
You've considered other online holistic programs, but you're not willing to walk away with a certificate that doesn't make you a genuine resource for the people you want to help
You're done waiting. You want to do this right
This is not for you if...
You're looking for a quick certificate to add to a bio
You're not willing to put in real study time. Think 4 to 6 hours per week
You want hype and motivation. HHE teaches the foundational principles and real science behind holistic health care
It's not just another "online course." HHE gives you a full accredited curriculum.
Certificate you print at home

Meet Your Hosts
The founders you'll be live with on August 10th
Karen Ziemer Armes, "ZuZu" · 18 years as a Holistic Health Practitioner. She has opened and run 5 holistic health and wellness centers across the United States, raised 10 children holistically, and co-founded the 69-acre Lilly Fields Retreat Center. Karen has built the kind of practice most people in this space only dream about, and this is the caliber of person you'll be learning from.
Amy Sprouse, MPH (Johns Hopkins) · Amy holds a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins and teaches anatomy and physiology at HHE. She's spent years building curriculum that meets the standard serious students demand, the kind of education the holistic health world has needed for a long time.
HHE's wider faculty includes more than 100 practitioners and specialists.

From people who were exactly where you are now.
"I have gained so much more knowledge and experience in the last year than I have in the last 20 years of nursing."
Sara Richardson, RN, HHC
Registered Nurse turned Holistic Health Coach
"This education is worth 10x what I paid for my college degree."
Vanessa Rutledge, HHC, TNC
Sacramento, CA
"I feel like I am finally doing what I wanted to do in healthcare all along."
Shannon, RN, HHC
Idaho
"The Holistic Health Practitioner program is so much more than just a training and certification program. It's an experience of development, a supportive community, and an ongoing, continually up-to-date education of the most effective and life-supporting resources available to help us and our clients."
D.D. Black, HHC
Foot Zone Practitioner & Parenting Coach, Utah
"After suffering with different health issues for years I felt it was time to get educated on the functions of the body and provide the proper nutrition, digestive enzymes, and amino acids (and so much more) that supports my body's functions. The education I receive from HHE is ongoing and has been so critical in helping me gain good health. Now I coach others on their path of holistic healing. Thank you Karen and Amy for giving me my life back."
Jeanette Ricci
Holistic Health Coach, Utah, USA
Good to know
Is this a sales pitch for a certification program?
It's an honest overview of blind spots in modern medicine, certification program content, and career track options for those looking to take the next step in their career. Yes, at the end of the hour Karen and Amy walk you through HHE's certification paths; that's the whole point of the event. But nobody is going to pressure you into anything. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's available and whether it's the right fit for you, and it costs you nothing but an hour.
I have no medical background. Is this too advanced for me?
No medical background required. The webinar is designed for people coming in from curiosity and self-study. HHE has been doing this for 18 years, with students from every starting point imaginable.
What if I can't make it live?
The real magic is in the live Q&A, so we'd love to have you there in real time. Register anyway to lock in your spot, we'll send details to everyone who signs up. The replay will be sent out immediately after the event for those who absolutely cannot attend live.
How is this different from other holistic health programs?
Most programs give you a certificate. HHE gives you a complete educational experience: courses built around the subjects conventional medicine doesn't cover, taught by expert practitioners and specialists with decades of experience. There are practical skills assessments, quizzes, and verbal practicums. Our graduates receive support for years after graduation, assisting with business development and continuing education.
I've spent money on programs before that didn't deliver. Why is this different?
That skepticism is fair, and it's one of the first things we'll address on the call. HHE's curriculum is known for going deeper and broader than any other school our students have attended. Additionally, every student is paired with a 1:1 academic advisor so that someone is checking in with you throughout your learning experience. This free session lets you see inside before you ever commit to anything bigger.
What happens after the webinar?
At the end of the call, Karen and Amy will walk you through HHE's three certification paths and invite you to join this fall semester. This call is a real conversation, no pressure, no pitch script, just us helping you figure out which path makes sense for where you are right now. If you're not ready to certify yet, there's also a lower-commitment entry point we'll share that lets you get started and apply every dollar toward a full certification when the time is right.
What do the certification programs cost?
HHE's programs range from $2,400 to $14,800, with payment plans and financing available. Some students start with entry-level programs and work up, others join in the middle tier, and others enter with the Dual HHC/HHP Certification track (Holistic Health Coach/Holistic Health Practitioner).
It's free, and it's one hour.

Why show up
Worst case, you spend an hour with two people who've built real careers in this field, and you leave with a clearer picture than years of solo research ever gave you. Best case, it's the night everything changes. Eighteen years of graduates speak for themselves.
You've been doing the research. This is where the research has led you.
The students who look back and call this the turning point didn't wait until everything was perfect. They registered, showed up, and found out what was possible.
The next free webinar is August 10th, 2026 at 7:30 PM ET. One hour, live on Zoom. Bring your questions.
