At Con Amore, we believe that loving collaboration and genuine care make the world a better place. We envision a world in which healthcare professionals unite different perspectives, inspire one another, and act from both their hearts and minds. Instead of building walls around ourselves, we believe in learning from each other with openness, curiosity and connection.
Our dream is a healthcare landscape rooted not only in knowledge, but in compassion. A system where professionals from diverse backgrounds collaborate for the well-being of the whole person and the whole society.
Founded in 2010 by Albert & Rinske, Con Amore is a Dutch, family-owned and -operated educational institute that blends scientific integrity with heart-centered learning.
Our work is grounded in the principles of both functional and integrative medicine:
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of illness with personalised, evidence-based care.
Integrative medicine views the individual as a whole: body, mind, and environment. Brings together a variety of therapeutic approaches to support sustainable wellness.
Through this lens, we develop and deliver educational programmes that honour complexity, foster co-creation, and empower professionals to bridge the gap between conventional and complementary care.
We create study programmes for people who love to work with people.
Our main course, Western Medicine Fundamentals, offers healthcare professionals (from bodyworkers and nutritionists to coaches and complementary therapists) a thorough biomedical foundation (50 ECTS), enabling them to:
confidently communicate with medical professionals,
integrate anatomy and pathology into their practice,
and meet accreditation standards for health insurance recognition.
Whether online or in-person, our students come together to learn, share, and grow. Our learning environment is designed to be flexible, accessible, and supportive. So you can learn in a way that fits your life.
At Con Amore, we don’t just teach; we care, deeply. Here’s what sets us apart:
An integrative and functional perspective: We combine a broad view of health with an emphasis on root causes, systems thinking, and personalisation.
Scientific depth with holistic vision: Our programmes offer rigorous biomedical content alongside intuitive and human-centred understanding.
Interactive learning, online and offline: We value connection. Whether in digital classrooms or live settings, you’ll learn through real dialogue, practice and reflection.
Accredited and practice-oriented: Our programmes meet professional standards (50 ECTS) and help you meet legal and insurance criteria in the Netherlands.
More than a decade of heartfelt education: Since 2010, we’ve welcomed thousands of students and built a learning community based on trust, passion and care.
We believe that the future of healthcare depends on collaboration between disciplines, between people, and between heart and mind. That’s why Con Amore exists. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your knowledge, we’re here to welcome you into a learning journey.
