*On our previous website NPM had a listing of natural health practitioners.  However we found that as this listing became more extensive, it was time consuming to maintain and we had no way of judging the quality of the services provided in that listing.  Registration bodies for health practitioners are a more reliable way to find reputable practitioners and we have linked to these instead. NPM does not endorse any particular health modality or practitioner.
