— Our Story

Founded on a belief that your profession deserves better

“We saw a huge need and gap in the industry — and decided we could lead a change.”

CANNP was founded in 2008 by Natural Nutritional Practitioners who recognized that Canadian practitioners were underserved and without a unified voice. Since then, we’ve become Canada’s most established professional association — pioneering benefits, tools, and advocacy that didn’t exist before we created them.

01 We Have Your Back

Whether negotiating insurance, pushing for recognition, or providing tools — CANNP works for you.

02 A Unified Professional Voice

Members speak collectively to insurers, employers, and government — advancing recognition for NNCPs.

03 The Original. The Standard.

CANNP pioneered professional insurance, extended benefits, and structured mentoring for NNCPs.
