About Us


The Canadian Association of Holistic Nutritionist Professionals (CAHN-Pro) is a regulatory association  for holistic nutritionists who want to be involved on the ground floor of an exciting national campaign to advance our profession and to promote the knowledge and standards of holistic nutritionist practices within Canada.

 

Through our united efforts, CAHN-Pro will make certain that holistic nutritionists receive the credibility and acclaim we deserve. CAHN-Pro's initiatives are designed to make us marketable to the private and public sectors and recognized by governments and insurance providers.

CAHN-Pro's mandate:

 

  • Conduct holistic nutrition research (as all other professions have done) with documented results providing credibility for what holistic nutritionists do. We have also created a great system that allows all members to participate in this study 

  • Teach the practical application of holistic nutrition to ensure graduates and holistic nutritionists working in the field stay up to date with current trends and research

  • Assist new graduates and holistic nutritionists who are struggling to find work create holistic nutrition businesses, providing materials and professional information from successful senior nutritionists

  • Provide all members with a job search database, usable information and real support and guidance for promoting themselves  

  • Create a membership with the consistent standards that all levels of government and all insurance companies insist on for recognition, and at the same time help members be the best professionals they can be.

CAHN-Pro is a sincere, joint effort from a number of holistic nutritionists across the country.  We have done our homework and all the research and we know what needs to be done for recognition of our profession across Canada.  As holistic nutritionists, we are all aware of the need for recognition and creating a unique niche for ourselves. CAHN-Pro took the time to research all the professions, both government-regulated and self-regulated. We talked with government officials and understand exactly who is regulated and why. We also learned the difference between regulation and recognition and, while there is a lot of work to do, we have a plan to permanently establish ourselves as holistic nutritionists in manner that is recognized by government, insurance companies and the public. Our board certification process is the first step and guarantees our members adhere to proper professional standards.
