Your clients already trust your hands. Now they can trust your guidance.
A self-paced, 19-module online certification that teaches you to coach nutrition the 3D Healing way: build the cells, support the systems, and cleanse the body, in that order. Created by Dr. James Macie, DC, for practitioners.
Self-paced · The 3D Healing book included · Certificate on completion
You're already the person they tell everything to.
Clients tell you things on the table they don't tell their doctor: the fatigue, the bloating, the sleep that never comes. You can feel tissue that isn't recovering. What's been missing is a safe, proven way to help with the nutrition side.
3D Nutrition Coach gives you that framework, and the confidence to use it within your scope.
- Massage therapists who want to add nutrition coaching as a new stand-alone service
- Wellness practitioners who want one clear, easy-to-follow method instead of scattered advice
- Practitioners who recommend supplements and want to do it with professional-grade products and the right language
- Anyone who wants to grow a practice built on trust, results and referrals
What you'll be able to do
By the end of the certification, you'll have a complete process you can use with every client.

Dr. James Macie, DC

Questions practitioners ask
Do I need to be a massage therapist?
No. The program was built with massage therapists in mind, and it's open to wellness practitioners who want a clear, safe framework for nutrition coaching.
Is this a license? What can I legally do as a coach?
The certificate is a private educational credential, not a license to practice, and it doesn't expand the scope of any license you hold. You'll learn exactly where a coach's role begins and ends: you educate and coach, and you don't diagnose, treat, or change medications. Module 1 covers scope in detail, and you'll check your own state's rules on titles and services.
How long does it take?
It's self-paced. Most practitioners find one to three modules a week a comfortable rhythm, which means finishing in about 2 to 6 months. You can move faster or slower.
What if I don't pass a quiz?
Each module quiz has 10 questions, and 7 correct (70%) is passing and unlocks the next module. You can retake module quizzes as many times as you need. The final exam allows one retake.
What's included in the price?
All 19 modules, your print copy of 3D Healing, one year in the 3D Healing Nutrition Community, monthly live Mastermind classes, access to professional-grade supplements, ready-to-use client forms, and your certificate when you complete the program. 3D Mentorship is an optional add-on.
Do I need special software or a records system?
No. You'll need an internet connection and the book, which is included. The program comes with fillable client forms, so you can start without an electronic records system.
What's your refund policy?
Not ready to enroll yet?
