Naturologist™ a Certified Doctorate-Level Expert in Natural-Based Health & Wellness Care.
The CNA-ACN was founded as a professional association to unite thousands of natural-based medicine practitioners (allied health professionals) across Canada and beyond. We set standards for naturological education, protect public safety, and foster an environment for professional development while advocating for cross-specialty medical research and philanthropy.
Our members undergo a rigorous verification process to ensure they meet our Canadian standards of practice based on WHO guidelines before they are fully accredited. As such, we expect our members to be recognized as leaders within their practice discipline by the public, institutions, and insurance companies across Canada.
Our members provide safe, ethical, therapeutic alternative and complementary medicine services.
