Living and plant-based nutrition, health practices, stress management, and improving the living environment are the main keys to practicing modern naturopathy and striving for better health. More and more people want to help others feel better and regain health naturally. Training in naturopathy, whether for oneself or as a main or complementary activity, is a relevant choice today because the demand for natural solutions is increasingly strong in France. 68% of people have already used natural medicines.
However, the profession of naturopath cannot be improvised. It is a demanding path that requires solid training in naturopathy. It is also a passion, a lifestyle oriented towards well-being and quality of life. Sharp entrepreneurial skills will be necessary. This profession of independent naturopath also requires the ability to create a relationship of trust with the first clients by adopting a holistic and comprehensive approach where the entirety of the person's life and environment is reviewed.
To support you in your project and help you put all the chances on your side, here are 5 essential keys to becoming a naturopath and succeeding in this field:
The vocation to help others is essential as a naturopath
Traditional medicine, for hundreds of years, has often been a matter of vocation and not just technical skills. Indeed, the family doctor or therapist was the one who listened, knew the family, the person's environment, and took care of them. Today, the naturopath often has this role of taking care of their clients' health by listening to them and advising them as best as possible with a holistic health vision. It is a real and valuable complementary approach to other health professionals and conventional medicine practitioners.
Naturopathy cannot be reduced to a simple accumulation of knowledge and soft medicine techniques. It requires above all a deep vocation, an inner calling that guides the individual towards personal fulfillment and a burning desire to help others.
The naturopath with a true vocation is not just an expert. They are a listener, an empathetic confidant who knows how to build strong trust relationships with their clients. But the naturopath's vocation does not stop at the doors of their office. It also involves a personal commitment to their own health and well-being. Indeed, how can they effectively guide their clients towards a healthier life if they do not take care of themselves?
The naturopath is a guide who leads to good health, a beacon that illuminates the path to a more harmonious existence. They help people take care of their physical body by adopting a healthy diet and suitable physical activity. They practice living nutrition, with many raw plant foods, superfoods like algae or sea water. They also ensure emotional balance, stress management, energy and environmental balance, which are key elements of overall well-being for optimal health. Finally, they support the vital energy of their clients by teaching them relaxation and meditation techniques.
Often, it is by taking care of themselves that the naturopath becomes an authentic and convincing source of inspiration for their clients. They embody the principles they advocate, demonstrating by their own example that well-being is within reach for all who commit to it.
Personally, I suffered so much from my health that when I regained it after my first 3-day fast, I wanted to share it with the whole world. I decided to become a connected naturopath because it aligns with my life philosophy, which is to have time for myself, my family, and my health to fully live naturopathy.
Finally, it is relevant to keep in mind that a naturopath does not only work in their own naturopathy office; they can also be a naturopathic advisor in organic stores, natural product stores, thalassotherapy centers, or naturopathy schools: the profession of a naturopath can be practiced in many places!
Being well-trained in naturopathy and fasting is essential as a professional naturopath
Mastering all aspects of naturopathy to become an accomplished practitioner is essential
Here are the essential skills to have in your pocket:
- Know the anatomy of the human body and physiology: to detect and identify potential imbalances.
- Knowledge of plants and the fundamental principles of natural remedies: it is very important to know the properties and therapeutic applications of plants, which will allow you to choose the right natural dietary supplements.
- Varied naturopathic techniques: learn to master several aspects of naturopathy, including fasting, raw food, aromatherapy, and phytotherapy for a holistic approach.
- Adapted therapeutic protocols: since each person is unique, it is important to develop individualized and effective action plans to meet the specific needs of each client.
- Practical application and case studies: practice through simulations and case studies to gain solid practical experience. To do this, choose a professional naturopathy training that teaches you all these specific skills.
Go beyond diet and stress management:
- You need to explore the emotional aspect by understanding the impact of emotions on health and learning to support your clients in managing their feelings.
- Then master vital energy by discovering techniques to harmonize energy flows, promoting overall well-being, and integrating the spiritual dimension. It is important to consider the spiritual needs of your clients and offer support that respects their beliefs.
Choose a program that supports you:
A comprehensive training allows you to know how to take care of specific populations with an individualized approach, such as infants, children and adolescents, pregnant women, seniors, or athletes. These populations have specific needs, and knowing their needs will allow you to refine your practice and offer effective solutions and protocols.
Know how to communicate your uniqueness and what you want to give to the world
Having an office is no longer enough to succeed today, whether in naturopathy or fasting supervision. To stand out, it is crucial to develop an effective communication strategy, offer personalized and attractive services, and position yourself on the right network.
Proposing valuable content that changes people's lives, organizing challenges to help people achieve their goals in your specialization, and engaging people in your practices allows you to create your community by taking an interest in the people who follow you.
Also, digital marketing and social media are not just about sales. It is primarily about creating an authentic relationship with your target audience. Whether online or in person, the goal is to touch the heart of each person.
Specialization is the key to becoming an expert naturopath
4,000 naturopaths graduate each year, and there are dozens or even hundreds of pathologies to know, master, etc. How can you support everyone after a few months to a few years of training, even if it is serious? Simply having basic training is no longer enough. Doing the same thing as everyone else doesn't help either because future clients don't always understand how, as a naturopath, you can help them get better.
To stand out in a saturated market, it is advisable to specialize in a field that you are passionate about and for which you have affinities.
A very important thing is to have comprehensive and holistic training, meaning having multiple skills, mastering naturopathy, supporting and supervising fasting if it is indicated in your specialization, knowing how to offer a service to your clients that will truly help them and that will allow you to be known and recognized in this area.
Successful naturopaths are often specialized in a specific area but also offer various things like support programs, cooking workshops such as raw cuisine, health retreats, or even online training, etc. Multiplying channels allows you to have more income as a professional, but also to offer multiple solutions to clients and support them in the best way.
If you want to access quality training, you can request the complete brochure of the Naturopathe Connectée Pro + training by Justine Lamboley, naturopath, Heilpraktikerin, and founder of Jeûner à la maison, a website that helps people regain health through naturopathy.
Being a naturopath also means becoming an entrepreneur
Being a naturopath is the deep desire to help others find their way to health and well-being by guiding them towards a natural and holistic approach.
But behind this mission also lies the reality of a professional activity. To live from your passion and carry out your mission, it is essential to develop strong entrepreneurial skills, know how to manage your own individual business or even a small company, and acquire administrative management techniques, financial management, and get support to establish a business plan with clear economic objectives. Continuing education, acquiring manual techniques, and other professional certifications are of course important to consider to acquire new skills necessary with the evolution of the profession.
Becoming a professional naturopath therefore requires multiple skills, both in terms of relationships with people and in terms of marketing, communication, and management. This makes it a wonderful profession, always changing and always challenging.
