https://youtu.be/3iXJ3t7QmeU This Professional Certificate course provides great information on how to live a healthy raw vegan organic lifestyle from head to toe; inside and out. Darren’s knowledge and experience are deep and wide. His generosity is wonderful and he is a great communicator who has inspired me to live a healthier lifestyle and to share this newfound knowledge with others. The classroom sharing and the reading materials were a great combination. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a healthier and happier lifestyle. Thanks Darren and classmates! Angel Vegan Author & Coach – USA I gained so much more from this course than I ever could have anticipated when I signed up. Darren is not only a clear expert in his field, but a wonderful, humble and entirely present teacher. No questions or opinions went unheard or unaddressed. Each module, fascinating in it’s own right, was thoroughly explained and practised. I had a preconception about the modules I would like most and least after reading the course summary but this was challenged in real-life when I found the learning on nearly every topic truly engaging. My expectations were very much exceeded and I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering it. Daniella Moyles Tv Personality – Ireland Read More About What Our Students Have Said
