A Holistic Nutritionist is a trained, registered and licensed professional,who uses a holistic approach to health based on Natural Nutrition. Their advice and plan for your wellness is tailored specifically to the individual’s health needs. Holistic Nutritionists recognize the importance of addressing a person as a whole - body, mind and spirit. They focus on determining the root cause of your symptoms to help restore, rebalance and maintain good health.

A consultation with a Holistic Nutritionist is an investment in yourself. They will give clients easy to understand nutritional information, lifestyle recommendations and steps to take to implement them into daily life. They not only educate and empower their clients,they also give them practical knowledge that they need to lead a healthy, energetic and joyful life. Holistic Nutritionists will support you with accountability and ongoing coaching to help you meet your personal wellness goals

A Holistic Nutritionist assesses the client’s health by reviewing the details in their Intake questionnaire form. Your health concerns, health issues and health goals are discussed, Nutritional deficiencies or excesses along with the root cause of symptoms are identified. You will be given a holistic nutritional plan to address the nutritional imbalances through changes in diet & lifestyle. Natural supplements and therapeutic foods may also be recommended.

YES, Although Holistic Nutritionists are not yet government-regulated in Canada, they are certified by accredited schools and backed by professional associations. These professional associations uphold high educational standards, and have set strict codes of conduct and ethics for their members to observe.

During the certification process, Holistic Nutritionists complete courses such as: anatomy & physiology, nutritional pathology, biochemistry, chemistry, cellular biology, disease prevention, symptomatology, nutritional research, sports nutrition, allergies, endocrinology, alternative & comparative diets, eco-nutrition and nutrition throughout a persons lifecycle.

Holistic Nutritionists often work in adjunct for your well being with other health care practitioners -family doctors, naturopathic doctors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists, Reiki energy healers.

As Holistic natural Nutrition continues to be recognized as a science- based health support, showing measurable results,with symptom reduction and improvement in overall health, more and more insurance companies are covering the services of Holistic Nutritionists in Canada and many other countries internationally. .

Be sure to look for an indication of coverage in your insurance plan under “Nutritional Counseling/Nutritionists” which is not the same as being covered by a Registered Dietitian (a different service). If you have a “health spending account”, you are likely covered. Contact your insurance provider to confirm your coverage

Equitable Life Insurance We have written confirmation that CANNP Members are part of an approved association with Equitable Life.

As a NNCP from CANNP ( the Canadian Association of natural Nutrition professionals) My clients can get insurance coverage from:

“The services provided by NNCPs are covered! These include Manulife, iA Financial Group, Equitable Life Insurance, Claimsecure, Greenshield Canada and Blue Cross Alberta, with more surely to follow. We only publicize the Insurance companies that have specifically confirmed insurance of coverage for NNCPs.These companies, as well as a few smaller insurers, all require the client/employer to have chosen ‘nutritional counseling’, which the client/employer chose specifically to have nutritional counseling included in the policy. Please know that the above insurance companies will confirm this for my professional designation- R.H.N. and NNCP, Only IF your policy has “nutritional counseling” in your coverage.

Check to see if you are covered by your insurer and if your employer/insurance company has elected ‘Nutritional counseling’ as part of your coverage.To tap into a claim, a client’s employer needs to opt in to include nutritional counseling in their company policy. The client must also understand that should they be eligible to make a claim, only your nutritional counseling hours can be a legitimate claim. Supplements and hours outside time spent with you cannot be claimed.

A client for holistic nutrition services needs to check by themselves if they are covered by their insurance provider.If You- the client does not inquire about this prior to our first meeting/session, I recommend that you directly submit a claim to your insurance provider to have the cost of my services covered/partly covered.

I consider this the best practice for me, since being upfront ensures that expectations are clear and that there are no surprises down the road if and when you try to make a claim.

You should ask your insurance company if their coverage includes any of the following: Registered Holistic Nutritionist - R.H.N. and NNCP nutritional counseling and coaching services.

Some insurance providers offer a Health/Flex Spending Account. If that’s the case for you,holistic nutrition services may be covered.

I encourage you to provide a letter to your employer requesting that holistic nutrition services be added to your insurance coverage.

This will also help to advocate for my industry, encouraging more insurance providers to cover our services. I can provide a template for such a letter, if you want.

The insurance coverage depends on the Insurance company you use and what is included in your Insurance coverage
