Academy Courses

Absolutely! We are thrilled that you have access to a licensed or licensed-eligible naturopathic doctor. Most people don't! Our goal is not to "poach" clients from your ND, but rather to supplement the work they do with additional education. Many doctors don't have the time, passion, or experience to dedicate to this level of individualized education, as much as they may want to. We want to support them and their practice by providing this educational resource to you. Our goal is to give you the information you need to get the most out of your professional relationship with your own ND.

Licensed or licensed-eligible naturopathic doctors attended and graduated from CNME-accredited, in-residence (not online) naturopathic medical schools complete with clinical training. They are trained and licensable as primary care providers in many states. Not all states currently license NDs, so your ND may be license-eligible, meaning that when their state begins licensing naturopathic doctors they will be able to get a license. 

This is as opposed to "traditional naturopaths," "certified traditional naturopath," "board certified naturopathic doctor," etc. These are graduates of online or hybrid "personal enrichment" programs. They have no clinical training and are not eligible for licensing. Their programs are "accredited" by a private board with no connection to the U.S. Department of Education. 

To learn more about accredited naturopathic medical education, visit the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). 

Of course! We will introduce you to great options to improve your health naturally. You and your healthcare team will decide how to proceed. 

These classes are for educational purposes only. They do not, and are not intended to, replace your professional relationship with your licensed healthcare provider. The role of our courses is to better inform you so that you can make informed decisions with your healthcare team, not to supplant them or take over your care. While our instructors are licensed Naturopathic Physicians (unless otherwise stated), taking one of our classes does not create a doctor-patient or provider-client relationship.

You are a unique individual and your medical needs are different from those of others. As such, anyone may benefit from learning the material in our classes, but not every tip learned can safely be applied to every person. You should ALWAYS talk to your licensed healthcare provider before making changes to medications, supplements, movement, diet, etc. While we have the expertise and professional training to make these recommendations with patients in the states where we are licensed, that is not our role in the context of an educational course. We will NEVER recommend that you discontinue or change your prescription medications, supplements, movement, diet, etc. without first talking with your healthcare provider.

Definitely! After a LIVE event, we upload the video so that you can watch it at a later date. We also collect pre- and post-class surveys that allow us to check in on whether your questions were answered during the class. As new updates become available, you will have access to the updated material.
