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.
We Have Your Back
Whether negotiating insurance, pushing for recognition, or providing tools — CANNP works for you.
A Unified Professional Voice
Members speak collectively to insurers, employers, and government — advancing recognition for NNCPs across Canada.
The Original. The Standard.
CANNP pioneered professional insurance, extended benefits, and structured mentoring for NNCPs in Canada.
