I just read your response today 2/14/06 on Westbrook University. Thank you for expressing what I could not put into words. I think my search is over now. I was looking into several schools and even considered relocating to Connecticut for the licensed ND program because they are up for licensure. Besides the fact that it is outrageously expensive, I have a family and a business to take care of, but I don\'t want to let go of my passion because it’s not readily available. I have a burning passion to help people through natural health. I spend a lot of money on books and on independent research. I also attend my local college with a degree I designed in Health Psychology. It’s about being creative as well. If someone is interested in the child birth, which I am, they can consider a nursing program at a local school. All in all each area of study will compliment the other and that is what is all about.
