Educate Your Body, Mind and Spirit
Welcome toTrinity School of Natural Health was founded by Dr. Wendell Whitman in 1991 to offer professional programs of study in thenatural health field leading to non-traditional designations or degrees. Up until that time, very few educational institutionsmade home study courses available. Dr. Whitman saw the need for this valuable information to reach the public so he createdan affordable and available way for people to learn—he founded Trinity School of Natural Health. The courses of studywere specifically designed to integrate the total person in body, mind and spirit; each course building on the next to createa complete and healthy lifestyle. Today, Trinity provides a solid education for students to establish their own professionalpractice and bring much needed healthy alternatives to their communities.Let me introduce myself. I am a wife, mother of three and I am passionate about natural health and health freedom. I hadthe honor and privilege to work alongside my father, Dr. Wendell Whitman, for over 20 years in his many business venturesand causes. To this day, I feel his fire and sense of duty as we continue the vision and adapt to the changing landscape of thehealth care in this country. Since my father’s passing, I’ve become immersed in all of the businesses, including Trinity. Onething I know for sure is that people are continually looking for ways to have a happier, healthier and more meaningful life.This is an exciting time to be a part of the Trinity School of Natural Health family. The future of Trinity is bright. We are nowoffering our students more choices in the style in which they learn best. Recently, Trinity School of Natural Health and CertifiedNatural Health Professionals have merged. Two successful natural health associations joined forces, allowing us to offerour students the greatest education focused on improving health and transforming lives. I encourage you to review ourcurriculum and join us.Cordially,Julie Whitman Kline, PresidentTrinity School of Natural Health

We’ve designed our courses of study to support the integration of all three.We believe the Bible to be a great source of teaching and the final authority on spiritual matters.

Health STUDIESThe word “doctor” comes from the Latin word ‘docere’ meaning ‘to teach.’ Naturopathsteach natural ways to enhance good health, optimal wellness and encouragelongevity. The Naturopathic approach is holistic and focuses on maintaining wellnesswith an emphasis on disease prevention.We emphasize creating a lifestyle which includes pure water, clean air, wholesomefood, proper diet and nutrition, exercise, proper living, appropriate rest, right thinking,absence from toxic substances, body ecology, effective management of stress anda number of other natural practices which lead to the balanced living concept. Webelieve that physical health is primarily a reflection of God’s universal law of cause andeffect. How we care for our bodies is both a physical and spiritual issue that impactsour health and the health of our offspring. In cases where health principles have beenviolated, the only true “cure” is for the body to restore its own protective mechanismsby removing those physical and spiritual roadblocks that hinder restoration and/orhealing. Course studies in Naturopathy teach practices that build immunity, improvemental health and enhance overall body functions.Trinity School of Natural Health offers training that is to be used for an individual’sown personal development.
