Celebrate 50 years of Nature Care College
At Nature Care, we love what we do and are very excited to celebrate 50 years of being at the forefront of educating people to take a holistic approach to health and healing, with a focus on preventive natural healthcare.
Aptly named by founder Catherine McEwan, the college’s name comes from the term “Nature Cure” which was used throughout Europe in the 18th century to describe naturopathy. The attentive and nourishing concept of “Care” replaced “Cure” and Nature Care College was born in 1973.
Nature Care has continued to be a unique community for those seeking a deeper understanding of health and wellbeing, offering an extensive range of natural medicine modalities. One of the most rewarding aspects for our inspiring and passionate teachers over the last 50 years is receiving the heartfelt gratitude from our community. We treasure that our purpose helps others to be productive on the planet.
Why is natural therapies education so important?
Now more than ever people are seeking more fulfilling, purposeful lives and are looking to the world of health and wellbeing to find it.\
As we live longer, we need to enjoy a higher quality of life. There’s more to wellness than eating well and exercising. We need to learn to foster a life that nurtures a healthy mind, body and spirit.
Science and research are telling us that how we think, feel, see and engage with the world affects our cellular biology — our overall health. This is something that the ancient healers and civilisations of the world have known for thousands of years. Since 1973, our purpose has been to provide a platform for holistic practitioners to pass on their wealth of knowledge and educate people on how to take a holistic approach to health and healing and lay the foundations for future holistic practitioners.
