"There wasn’t any other holistic program out there that I would be proud to say I went through this program and felt ready. I wanted people to take me seriously and ITN gave me that."
- jelisa smith, ctnc
When I found ITN, the business building component and the spirituality
component were game changers.
I wanted more because the certification programs I had taken before didn’t
give me the full picture. I knew there was more to it than 'eat this, not that'.
