About the NNA

The Naturopathic Nutrition Association was formed by a group of Naturopathic Nutritional Therapists who, through practical experience, have come to passionately believe in the benefits of the naturopathic approach to nutrition. By working alongside the UK regulatory body for Naturopathy (the General Naturopathic Council) and other naturopathically-minded professional associations, the NNA aims not just to promote to the public the benefits of naturopathic nutrition but also to encourage Nutritional Therapists to develop further therapeutic skills that will lead to them becoming fully Registered Naturopaths

The Aims and Objectives of the Association are:

1. To act as a non-profit making regulatory organisation for naturopathic nutrition within the UK.
2. To act as a professional association for Nutritional Therapists.
3. To promote a naturopathic approach to nutritional therapy practice.
4. To promote and enhance the research and development of naturopathic nutrition.
5. To provide the public with a Register of professionally trained, capable and insured Naturopathic Nutritional Therapists.
