Find your voice. Become a leader, a changemaker. We want to usher real food education into the mainstream. We know the most qualified people to do that are also those who need the support to make it happen.

The MNA connects its members to an array of opportunities to hone professional growth. Gain a competitive edge over non-members by increasing visibility and the credibility that comes with belonging to a professional organization. Find collaborative opportunities with like-minds. Reach your ideal clientele through community outreach projects that inspire the change you seek.


The primary mission of the Missouri Nutrition Alliance is to legitimize the profession of health and wellness practitioners. We do this by raising public awareness through community outreach projects that demonstrate our skills, our impact, and value. To be most effective at this objective we accept only the most consummate practitioners to represent our organization.
