Hair Tissue mineral analysis

Holistic Health practitioner program

A comprehensive certification designed to build mastery in mineral logic, metabolic assessment, and HTMA interpretation — empowering you to identify root imbalances and apply targeted, informed support with confidence and discernment.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis offers a window into the body’s long-term mineral patterns, metabolic trends, and stress responses. This program teaches practitioners how to use HTMA as a foundational tool for understanding imbalance at the root rather than responding to symptoms in isolation.

Through mineral logic and pattern recognition, practitioners learn to assess underlying contributors to dysfunction and apply holistic, informed support grounded in systems-based reasoning.
