~ A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER ~

Health for many of us is a way of life, to others it is a constant seeking, to others again it is a new revelation as old ways are replaced with new. For some people health is taken for granted until they become sick and then they resort to orthodox medicine, surgery, or complementary and alternative therapies and medicines. All this is part of living and we have choices along the way.

In Australia and New Zealand, as in other parts of the world, health has become a user pay service: if you have money you can demand an operation or medicines in a private hospital, while others with little money may have to wait years from the State Hospital system for the same operation. It makes sense to stay healthy if at all possible.

The Naturopathic College of New Zealand has for over 29 years aimed to educate people into a better way of finding and maintaining health. Although medicine and surgery, we believe, are sometimes necessary - there are alternative methods and medicines that can keep you healthy and restore health in times of sickness.

Currently there is no government registration for naturopaths in New Zealand and graduates are encouraged to join an Association that is an Affiliate of either the New Zealand Charter of Health Practitioners Inc.(www.healthcharter.org.nz) or the Natural Health Council ( NZ) Inc (www.naturalhealthcouncil.org.nz). Currently the NZ Charter of Health Practitioners Inc. and the Natural Health Council (NZ) Inc. set standards for the profession.

Today there is a huge swell of interest in natural therapies and there is a great need for qualified people, and as well there is a need for those with knowledge to share in whatever situation they live in. Australia and New Zealand are leaders in distance education and we want to provide an education of excellence for you in your own home. Some believe that this part of the world will always be a source of inspiration for those who seek a better way of living - spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically. We are here to help you.
