NIWH Graduate Spotlight Questionnaire

Marilyn Kier, BS, OMT, BCTMB

Q: What drew you to the Whole Health field and the National Institute of Whole Health?

A. I worked as an Orthopedic Massage Therapist for 26 years. In that role, I treated all aspects of my patients’ pain, focusing on many of the areas NIWH incorporates in the Big Picture of health. As I’m transitioning to the next chapter of my life, the Patient Advocacy Program offered by NIWH was the perfect fit for my experience and future goals.

Q: Did the Whole Health training meet your professional goals?

A. The Whole Health training exceeded my professional goals. The vast amount of information presented by renowned experts and scientists will assist me in educating clients who want to achieve total wellness.

Q: How are you currently applying your training from NIWH?

A: After working with me, a client who has Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes lowered her fasting glucose # by 100 points in just 3 months. When I went to the Emergency Room for a client, I was able to bypass the administrative red tape by simply announcing I was a Patient Advocate. The emergency room physicians were happy to talk to me. I was able to assist the patient in getting the necessary tests quickly, which ultimately led to her release.

Q: Would you recommend the Whole Health training to others?
A. If you have a strong desire to help others achieve total health, you owe it to yourself to explore what the Whole Health training program offers. You’ll be hard pressed to find another program that offers such comprehensive training at such a reasonable cost.
