What is a naturopath?

The naturopath

The naturopath teaches you to manage your lifestyle to reach and maintain your optimal level of vitality.

The naturopath assesses with you your level of vitality, then helps you establish an effective, detailed and personalized program to achieve your health goals.

The naturopath does consultations, leads workshops, gives lectures, gives interviews, writes articles, publishes books, etc.

Naturopathy is the philosophy, art and science that allow humans to achieve and maintain the highest possible level of vitality, by effectively managing their lifestyle.

The word "naturopathy" is made up of "nature" and "path" and means "the way of nature".

The College of Naturopaths of Quebec

Members of the College of Naturopaths of Quebec (CNQ) hold a university level diploma in naturopathy and abide by a rigorous code of ethics.

CNQ members have at least 1,400 hours of training in health sciences.

Consulting a member of the CNQ is a guarantee of quality service.

Founded in 1963, the CNQ is the oldest professional association of naturopaths in Quebec. It has more than 300 members.

The consultation fees of a member of the CNQ are reimbursable, in part or in full, by most insurance companies.

Brief history of naturopathy

1963

Foundation and incorporation. Definition: "Naturopathy is the science, art and philosophy of treating disease by natural methods."

1978

The CNQ becomes a member of the Canadian Naturopathic Association, a federal organization that brings together naturopaths in Canada.

1983

New definition: "Naturopathy is the philosophy, art and science which aim to bring to the human being the highest degree of health possible, by teaching him to manage correctly his habits of life."

Clarification: The word "naturopathy" comes from two words, "nature" and "path," which mean "the way of nature."

1999

First naturopathic organization in Quebec to have a website.

2004

New modern version of the “Naturopathic Oath.” The naturopath promises in particular "to always act in a way that promotes self-healing power, to seek the cause of the affections, to put forward practices related to a healthy lifestyle".

2018

The death of Mr. Guy Bohémier. The latter was one of the founding members of the College of Naturopaths of Quebec in 1963. He will always be recognized as being a pioneer of his profession while having strongly contributed to the teaching as well as to the development of naturopathy in Quebec, and this since several decades.
