Alumni in Action

Mollie graduated from ACHS in 2016 with a Master of Science in Complementary Alternative Medicine. Mollie has been in personal fitness for seven years and has her own personal training business. "I founded my own personal fitness company, Newman Coaching, LLC in 2012. With this business, I have been able to reach out to my community, bringing health and fitness to the forefront in our little town and supporting everyone in their personal journey." Mollie tells us that along with fitness, she focuses on the importance of nutrition with her clients.

Jodie says she believes in holistic modalities because traditional medicine treats the symptom and not the root cause of an individual's health issues. "I have been in Anatomy and Physiology classes with nurses and students who are entering the 'Medical' field. I do not believe that the art of prescribing drugs is always helpful. There are many cases where a more natural approach would be more effective."

"I have always enjoyed helping people, and I always took jobs that involved customer service. When my husband convinced me to try Massage Therapy, I had no idea I would find my life's passion. Now here I am doing the best job in the world and still helping people. Having my own practice does not feel like work to me. I look forward to every massage and every client that I meet."

As a Master Herbalist, Sarah outlines the role of her education in her career. "Continuously studying and practicing herbalism since 2007,” Sarah says, “I combine my education and experience with herbs, tea, gardening, energetics, and nutrition to formulate high quality, artisan teas and herbal products."
