Learn how to grow wheatgrass

The Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute is a non-profit school dedicated to teaching Dr. Ann Wigmore's Living Food Lifestyle through our one and two week educational programs. We are happy to offer a beautiful certificate as proof of accomplishment in completing either of these certification programs in the Living Food Lifestyle. 

The knowledge gained in the core certification programs will provide you with enough insight and "hands on learning" to continue the lifestyle at home. You may share this valuable information with family and friends.

Please inquire about our one week retreat programs. These programs are offered periodically. A staff member can help you plan a personalized healing retreat. We welcome our past graduates to come and refresh their knowledge and commitment to their health journey.

New students are encouraged to take our one of our core certification programs, however, if you wish, you may decide to take a reduced class schedule (without certification) to allow for more abundant relaxation. One of our staff can assist you in making your program personal.
