Welcome to the Student's Guide to Natural Health Training

This is the perfect time to start an exciting and fulfilling career in the field of natural health care. Two factors are converging to make this the ideal career path for the coming decades:

• Canada's aging population, plus
• increasing awareness and interest in preventative care and natural ways to heal ourselves.

The Public Health Agency of Canada stats tell us that more than 70% of Canadians regularly use complementary and alternative health care therapies, including fitness, supplements, and massage therapy, chiropractic, and other natural health modalities.

Studies are coming out daily touting the benefits of natural health modalities to treat issues from headaches to brain injuries.

It all means that you are making a wise career move - when you choose the right training institution for your goals.

Whether you want to work for an existing clinic or start your own practice, you need sound information to make the best decisions. We're creating a comprehensive resource to help you make the right choices for you to create a fulfilling career in natural health care.

Success in a career is not simply about the school and the courses that you take, creating a solid network of advisors and peers will help you navigate the world of natural health from school days to well into your practice life.

The Guide will be available both here online and in print.
The directory of schools is just one of the many facets that you can find in it:

• articles from Setting Your Own Fees to Advice for Starting Your Practice
• helpful tips to save you time and energy - from practitioners who have gone through the same process and who share what they wish they had known when they were just starting out;
• a newly launched community of natural health students from across Canada spanning all different modalities (sign up is free; the group is private so you have to be a member to see the content);
• up to date listings of Continuing Education courses being offered across Canada;
• marketing opportunities to showcase your expertise and promote your new business;
• tools and templates for business owners;
• listings of industry organizations and associations to join (strength in numbers!) that represent your interests to the media and to government;
• information about natural health practitioner regulations and standards across Canada; and
• coming soon: discounts and deals for business owners.
