Meet Real HMI
Students
Hear directly from our students and coaches on why they chose HMI Wellness after previous certifications and education left them with more questions than answers.
"I enrolled at HMI while I was four months into the Institute of Integrative Nutrition’s (IIN) Health Coach Training Program and three months into IIN’s Gut Health Program. After a colonic wreaked havoc on my digestive system, I was looking for a solution that I couldn’t find with the education that I received at IIN.

My IIN classmates were blown away with the practical and valuable HMI information that I learned.
Previously Attended IIN
HMI students can ask their peers as well as HMI Health Coach graduates questions and their perspectives on the course curriculum, getting their business started, and guidance on health issues that they or their clients are currently experiencing. IIN does not offer this level of support during the program or after graduation.
I am truly grateful for HMI. I’ve learned that when people are searching for solutions for their health issues, they’re not looking for the next trendy diet. They are looking for a path that has been proven to work and is sustainable."
Another huge difference between IIN and HMI that I truly value is the supportive and active Coaching Community.
- such as which vitamins and supplements were most vital for our bodies and we’re commonly deficient in, phases of the liver detox process, and the importance of juice cleansing.
I found that my IIN classmates were coming to me for guidance with their health issues. Additionally, many of my IIN classmates didn’t know how to get started in their health coaching practice. HMI truly empowers and sets their students up for success with its Abundance and Business Modules.
With Licensing, HMI students can also utilize the detox and cleansing programs such as Heal Candida Now and 66-Day Health Mastery, developed by the HMI founder and Clinical Nutritionist, Liana Shanti, to get started in coaching groups.
I have been searching for optimal health for as long as I can remember. It is what led me to pursue a career in Medicine.
My medical degree did not give me an in-depth education in nutrition. Making the choice to study at Health Mastery Institute is what finally gave me what I was searching for.

Through HMI, I have learned that the health of our body is not separate from the health of our minds and our spirits. Our emotional self, our spiritual self, our physical self. They are deeply connected. This is what holistic wellness is all about.
Today, I am a stronger, healthier, freer person in all ways, because of the work I have done with Liana Shanti’s programs. I am a better medical practitioner with so many practical, science-based protocols and personal experience to share. I no longer take any medications. I am passionate about the plant-based food I prepare as fuel and medicine for my body and soul. I am healing my body of Candida, my hypertension is controlled by lifestyle and diet, and I no longer suffer from depression, disruptive sleep patterns and more."
Making the choice to study at Health Mastery Institute is what finally gave me what I was searching for: the science, the education, the practices and protocols to make the changes that actually heal and support the body for optimal health. A blueprint for preventive optimal health.
I was taught to deal with the body’s symptoms by treating them with medication, rather than looking at that symptom as a message from the body that something deeper needed to be healed.
I experienced my own health issues while simultaneously treating patients who were also searching for answers. I tried every diet on the market from the Atkins diet, the grain-free diet, South Beach, P90X, the Keto diet and more. None worked for long. I cringe now at the thought of telling any patient to go on all those diets. I did not have the science-based education at that time to know what these things would do to the body long term.
The world of self-healing opened for me in 2013 with a simple and profound social media post by Liana Shanti, founder of Health Mastery Institute. At that time, she was offering her 66 Day Health Mastery Cleanse protocol and I jumped in with both feet. It was the first time I did a juice fast, gave up all meat and dairy completely and implemented an all organic, plant-based diet. The changes I experienced were dramatic and truly life-changing and inspiring. This was the first step forward on my path towards true healing. But it would not be my last.
"I have always wanted to increase my knowledge and expertise with Plantbased/vegan nutrition.
With HMI my desires have come to fruition and I feel like all coaches and trainers within the fitness community should go through this program as a way to be well rounded."

The rapid transformation clients experience is unbelievable. When you combine the mind, body with quantum energetic principles, the speed of change happens almost instantly!
See the message I received from one of my clients shortly after we started working together.
As a health coach, having completed the “Heal Candida Now” program, I have been able to coach other women on how to make changes in their life to prioritize their health.
At the moment getting ready to launch skin care products using my knowledge from HMI’s “Holistic Skincare Secrets” elective. I am really excited to increase my 1:1 sessions as well as expand my offerings to Spanish speaking clients.
Message from my client:
"Just... thank you, honestly. I feel like because things are starting to change, I'm not numbing as much... I feel so much more at peace because I can breathe."
This message came unexpectedly this week from the most incredible client who has committed to healing her nervous system – after just 6 weeks.
She shared excitedly how she finally feels like she has the space and capacity to do things she previously felt took such monumental energy.
QMBT coaching is rocket fuel for transformation! As coaches, we have such extensive tools and science-backed methods from HMI Wellness. I am so grateful for. the feedback from clients!"
When I began suffering symptoms related to hormonal imbalance and adrenal fatigue, I realized I didn’t know what specifically to add IN that would help my body regain the balance it was trying to find.
Upon receiving my first health history from an HMI coach, I was blown away at it’s detailed explanation and realized what I’d been missing.

I needed to learn what happens in the human body on a daily basis and how to directly support those systems with food, herbs, supplements and lifestyle - regardless of dietary theory - to confidently approach my own health, let alone anyone else’s.
Not only did I feel prepared to start coaching for the first time early on in the program, but thanks to HMI, I do indeed feel confident making choices that in the not so distant past, were notoriously confusing and overwhelming."
"Being dual certified as a HMI Health Coach and Quantum Mind Body Therapist is a career path I always dreamed about but never knew could exist.
Having and implementing the science nutrition knowledge and proven extensive detox protocols from HMI has radically transformed my health, my family’s health and my clients health for the better.
Combined with the ability to support myself and my clients with rewiring their limiting beliefs, and embody their own limitlessness through Quantum Mind Body Therapy techniques has led to rapid changes in moving through life with more ease, calm, joy and peace.

I’m so grateful for Liana, her life and soul changing healing work and beyond blessed to be a HMI Health Coach and QMBT. My dream career."
Combined with the ability to support myself and my clients with rewiring their limiting beliefs, and embody their own limitlessness through Quantum Mind Body Therapy techniques has led to rapid changes in moving through life with more ease, calm, joy and peace.
Finally with the addition of licensing the full ecosystem of healing programs that changed my life over the last 5 years in mind body and soul, I can now plug these amazing tools right into my coaching containers and have the confidence, the life proof and embodiment of being the most effective life and health coach in the industry.
I know that when clients come to me, I can not only offer them a container and support for rapid transformation in mind, body and health.
I know that what I am really offering them is a doorway that can change the entire trajectory of their lives. I know because that’s what it did for me, and it brings me so much peace, joy and excitement to be able to serve people in this way.
"Prior to enrolling in HMI Nutrition School, I joined another health coach program by Health Coach Institute (HCI).
My passion for health coaching started after doing the 'Heal Candida Now' protocol by HMI. I found myself talking to everyone about how awesome our bodies are and how doing a proper cleanse is life changing.
I really thought all health coaching schools were the same. Two modules into HCI I knew it was not what I was looking for. A year later, I enrolled in HMI.
Module one of HMI I knew it was the best decision I had made.

HMI is the ONLY school offering health coaching backed by science that works. Our life proof from what we learn is why we are so passionate about what we do.
I look back now and see so many reasons why HMI is the best. It does not have a 'school' vibe. Every module is so informative and Liana does a great job at explaining the science in a way that everyone can understand, even if we are not science majors.
HMI has a huge community to reach out for assistance when you have an actual client, or maybe even for yourself and someone is always ready and willing to assist. When you get ready to start coaching HMI also gives you the tools to start, without having to make an additional investment.
I felt all the information of the HMI certification program was priceless. so I purchased the additional electives which are optional, and realized I spent less than at HCI and am getting so much more.
The focus at HCI felt money driven and basic, learning the appropriate way to talk to clients.
At HMI I have learned that when we are being of service we speak from the heart. It is a disservice to sugar coat health information to fit what everyone is teaching out there."
While I have many tools at my disposal as a PT, I felt my toolbag was still incomplete.

After all, nutrition is the very foundation for health.
"One module into HMI Nutrition School, I thought: 'Wow, this is what I was supposed to have learned in medical school.
I completed medical school and a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology then worked for several years in a government funded community health center.
I quit due to burn out as well as wanting to be home with my son and have another child.
After my daughter was born I knew a change was needed and I found HMI Nutrition School.

I quit due to burn out as well as wanting to be home with my son and have another child.
After my daughter was born I knew a change was needed and I found HMI Nutrition School.
I had long been interested in nutrition and would often read books about food and how it heals. Because food truly is medicine.
HMI is comprehensive, science-backed and from the very beginning really resonated for me and I knew I would never look back.
As I start to build a new presence in the medical and wellness arena, I am excited to once again be helping women and teens with getting healthy, only now I prescribe food not drugs."
"I’ve enrolled in both QMBT life coaching and HMI health coaching because I am aware that I am a whole being. My first realization came from helping my own son who struggled with a genetic immune disorder.
We have worked with specialist doctors, labs, hospitals, regular MDs and nurses for years. They are wonderful but limited when it comes to nutrition and coping, stress and mental challenges that come from this genetic condition. My son and I have implemented nutrition protocols and mental therapies over the years to help him have a ‘normal’ quality of life.
When I came upon HMI Wellness and the dual certification programs I knew these were BOTH essential for his and my expansion.

The quality, care, knowledge, research and integrity with HMI Wellness is professional and profound. I am glad I listened to my heart, both physically and emotionally!!"
I exhausted so many other nutrition and mental health strategies and needed a cohesive scientific and quantum program to advance. Currently I have completed the QMBT portion and will be doing the HMI health program next. Already we’ve seen practical progress in the power of creating the reality we want and stopping the loops that keep one stuck.
From my experience everything is interrelated. Every doctor we’ve seen has supported nutrition, supplementation and strategies for life coping mechanisms. It’s all connected and I see it daily in my son’s life. I began this journey to help myself, my son and my family. Now I see a bigger picture of how valuable both of these programs are as a coach.
I encourage everyone to have dual certification. For yourself first and others next.
This program has already taught me so much that if I didn’t coach one person afterwards it would still be worth every penny I have paid just for the personal education.

"I am so grateful to have found my way to Health Mastery Institute. This is my second Health & Wellness Coaching Program/Certification.
My first program (IIN) gave me a broad knowledge of health and wellness and opened many doors to explore. This led to 5 more years of exploring on my own and taking in a vast amount of information.
I made my best effort to assimilate all of it but the truth is, it became overwhelming.
Then, I was led to HMI.

I have battled and over come rheumatoid arthritis. HMI gave me the knowledge, the confidence and the tools to get myself into remission without any of the medications."
This program has taken everything I have already learned and has filled in all of the gaps and wrapped all the knowledge up into a beautiful package that I am able to implement into my life, my family’s life and into the life of anyone who is interested in finding true health.
I became a health coach by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. However, I still had so many questions. Especially on all the rising “healthy” fad diets like keto, the apple cider vinegar miracles, sea moss, collagen etc. The overwhelming sea of information out there was confusing.
When I found HMI it brought me so much clarity! The in-depth, scientific, and well-researched information you get from it is priceless. HMI education is like a missing piece of puzzle I’ve been looking for.

Every module is like a huge course of its own. I feel like I am fully immersed in the most extensive school ever! But it’s also presented in a easy to understand format that keeps you engaged and easy to remember.
HMI is not following any of the fad diets out there. It’s based on the scientific background on what is truly health-promoting for us to eat.
HMI is not only explaining in great details that low fat, high raw, whole food, organic, plant-based way of eating is the only optimal diet for all humans to feel healthy and vibrant, but also goes in depth of understanding how our body works.
Learning, for example, the importance of liver in the detoxification process, how to support it properly, how it’s cells function during two stages of detox process, what practices to do, what supplements and herbs to take to support liver’s work- is just a small example of what you will learn.
The wealth of knowledge is mind blowing!
Once I became a student of HMI I realized I didn’t know that much from my prior education. I feel blessed to have found HMI and Liana Shanti. I am hungry for knowledge, but for the right kind of knowledge, and Liana and HMI delivers exactly this LIFE PROOF information.
And the supporting group of all HMI coaches you get access too once you enroll is so nurturing and helping.
Now, more than ever, I feel confident in my health coaching practice that I will be guiding my clients in the right direction as my knowledge is backed up by HMI.
There is no need for me to look anywhere else for the correct nutritional information. It’s all in one place!
Once I enrolled at HMI I revived my passion for helping many to get their health back because I have all the right tools for it thanks to HMI.
Now I offer individual, group and corporate health coaching services. I also love guiding clients through juice cleanses as this is my most transformative experience to reset my life.
I am also a vegan chef, I offer plant-based cooking classes, organize and teach healing yoga and plant-based food retreats."

"Before HMI I was a walking zombie. I was experiencing horrible digestive pains, fatigue, brain fog, amenorrhea, depression, anxiety, constant joint pain, and numbness/ weakness in my left leg.
I decided to study at HMI after seeing so many testimonies of people who had completely healed from diseases and symptoms much worse than mine. I knew I could heal myself and then help others do the same!
I started my own healing journey with HMI’s 66 Day Health Mastery Program. This program helped me heal ALL of my symptoms, addressed many of my emotional attachments to food, introduced me to the world of juicing, and taught me how to transition to and maintain a plant-based way of eating.
I love sharing my passion for juicing and the healing power of a plant-based diet with everyone I meet!
It is an absolute joy to help others learn how to juice or walk them through how to transition to a plant based diet and start to heal their bodies from the inside out.”
I healed myself from type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, lifelong migraines, PCOS (got my period back after irregular and non-existent for years), lifelong IBS, IBD (microscopic colitis), healed my psoriasis and a severely weakened immune system from a flu-shot injury, GERD, thinning hair/hair loss.

I wanted to share AMAZING success I have had with this protocol [Heal Candida Now].
A year ago I was a MESS. I had severe health issues. I literally had more issues than not.
- Severe chronic fatigue (slept 13 hours or so per day)
- Awful skin issues- cracking weeping eczema, hives, rashes.. everywhere. My skin was so dry too. They’d keep me up at night from pain and itching.
- Sleep issues- never felt rested and didn't sleep well. I was up tossing and turning.
- Digestive issues. I was always gassy, bloated, constipated, food allergies
- Yeast infections every month
- My hair was falling out, my nails were brittle
- I kept gaining weight
- I had inflammation all over my body internally and externally

The past couple months I haven’t had ANY PMS or PMDD symptoms.. none. They’re gone.. and I just cant even believe it. I just can’t believe most of my health issues are GONE..
- SEVERE PMS and PMDD- symptoms were debilitating. For 2+ weeks. Awful cramps that felt like labor like when you’re right before transition.. so I had to literally stop, pause and breathe through them.
- Foggy mind- I literally couldn't even speak my thoughts and id get tripped up while trying to talk. I''d also lose my train of thought quite a bit.
- Sore breasts to the point of bras hurting, hugs hurting, the bounce of simple walking hurt..
- Back aches and stiff joints
- So bloated I wouldn’t fit into my pants, I'd be so constipated and obviously very gassy.
- Even more tired
- So moody, irritable and would cry constantly… like days.
- Severe depression and suicidal thoughts
- Anxiety- where I would literally shake from a small problem.
- Food cravings for sweets, then salty foods, then chocolate and more sweets.
I was so fed up of trying to survive with all that going on. Last August when I started Candida my goal was to gain energy and resolve my skin issues.
Y’all… I have healed sooo much more. It’s just mind blowing to me still.
I'm so grateful for this space and this protocol that literally saved and changed my life.
