Live better and in good health with naturopathy
Like many of us you have noticed that in our consumer-driven society, junk food seems to be everywhere. We’re always being enticed to buy products full of ingredients that are harmful to our health and well-being.
Like many of us you’ve probably found that we opt too easily for quick solutions to immediately soothe the aches and pains that our bodies express. For example when you have a migraine, your first impulse is to take a pill; if you have a fever, you don’t give it time to do its job; when you have an infection, you take antibiotics and so on.
The conclusion is simple: our bodies have become “clogged” and weakened as a result of our lifestyles and our eating habits. Sedentariness, urban pollution, as well as chemicals found in the majority of our consumer goods and even hygiene products are all factors that have contributed to the development of new diseases including allergies, sensitivities, respiratory difficulties, gastrointestinal problems and much more. The list is actually quite long.
Supporting others with a holistic approach to health
Naturopathy isn’t a new discipline, that’s how our ancestors (who really weren’t so different from us) took care of themselves. It’s all about adopting a new set of nutritional behaviours, becoming aware of different forms of fasting and mainly gaining knowledge of the self, the body, its functioning and its dynamics.
To some extent, we all practice a bit of naturopathy in our daily lives. For example, when you drink herbal tea to relax or to detox, you’re putting your trust in a given plant to achieve a specific effect. But the fact remains that we tend to treat diseases rather than prevent them.
This is what makes learning about naturopathy different from other disciplines. It is concerned with health; maintaining it and protecting it to avoid the emergence of disorders. It makes it possible to consider our environment from a new perspective and to learn how to interact with it simply to feel better, to enjoy living and to feel safe and in good health.
In light of our ability to proactively address our health, it has become increasingly crucial to regain control over our lives and avoid harmful modern day practices. That’s precisely why we are introducing a comprehensive and practical training program in naturopathy. This program caters not only to beginners but also to practicing therapists seeking to expand their skill set.
Indeed, for aspiring professional naturopaths, our program offers numerous valuable tips that will be immensely beneficial. These insights are specifically designed to streamline the learning process and save valuable time, providing a valuable asset for those embarking on a career in naturopathy.
Working as a naturopath: opportunities and salary expectations
Working as a professional naturopath is an exciting and highly rewarding career choice, experiencing a significant surge in demand, with consultations growing at a rapid rate of up to 6% annually. This increasing popularity is further supported by certain insurance and mutual companies starting to cover naturopathic services.
Naturopaths have the flexibility to practice their profession in various ways. They can work as self-employed micro entrepreneurs or be employed by a company. They may set up their practice in an office or operate from the comfort of their homes. Their clientele can range from specialized individuals to businesses, with the latter becoming a booming market.
The skills of naturopaths are in high demand across diverse industries such as homes for the elderly, spas, thalassotherapy centers, organic food stores, fitness centers, and even sports facilities. Naturopaths may work as employees in these organizations or independently by offering their services on a negotiated basis.
Certified naturopaths who establish their practice in an office have the freedom to set their own fees. The consultation fees can vary between $50 and $200, depending on whether they offer general consultations or specialize in specific pathologies like stress management or dietary issues. Additionally, naturopaths can also generate income by selling natural products related to their practice.
Training that’s accessible to all
Designed by instructors and practitioners who wish to share their knowledge with as many people as possible, these training programs are recognized by three accreditation bodies established for practitioners of holistic medicine.
The courses are available in downloadable PDFs and MP3s, catering to diverse learning preferences. This flexibility enables you to study at your own pace, whether at home or on-the-go, allowing you to accommodate family life or career commitments.
The comprehensive program consists of 15 educational modules, supported by corrected exercises, covering essential concepts for practicing naturopathy. Upon completion of the program, you will be required to pass a final exam, with the opportunity for a retake in case of failure. A printable certificate of achievement will be awarded upon successful completion.
By the end of the course, you will possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise, empowering you to apply these principles in your daily life and also establish yourself as a naturopath to provide support to others.
It’s important to note that a degree in medicine or any other field is not a prerequisite for enrolling in the program. Naturopathy is accessible to all who wish to acquire this knowledge. As our grandparents may not have studied this subject formally, yet practiced its principles daily, you too can embark on this journey of learning and discovery.
