It really depends on what your state allows and the rules and regulations for that particular state. NC won’t allow licensure just yet, but it can be used for natural wellness coach and continued education. Some states may allow diagnosis and treatment, other allow you to create comprehensive and individualized plans, some states don’t allow it at all. While my state doesn’t allow licensure, I am happy with the course as there is many things I can do with it, even start my own “practice”. The accreditation is there, but what your state allows is the issue or non issue.

Absolutely!

I am not practicing professionally yet. I already have an all natural skin care line under the name The Heavenly Haven Cosmetics & Gifts. If you are looking for an all natural anti-aging skin care line…checkout theheavenlyhaven.org! My plan is to expand under this name and add Naturopathic Practioner. My original plan was to go by Natural Wellness Coach, but am now leaning towards what it is, Naturopathic Practitioner!

Hello, fellow North Carolinian! From what I understand, the legislation has been drafted but isn’t law yet. There seems to be some delays in the process. I recently watched a seminar by a ND from Charlotte who practices in this field and thought maybe I had it wrong! I haven’t found any regulations specifically for practitioners, aside from the fact that they cannot treat or diagnose patients. It’s possible that I focused solely on the practitioner aspect during my research, so if I’m missing anything, please let me know! I’ve been studying this topic for years, and I’m excited to take it to the next level!
