Getting started as an online naturopath: 4 good reasons
Recent years have seen a rise in popularity of naturopathy in the United States. Nowadays, digital tools such as videoconferencing make it possible to benefit from consultations with a naturopath online very quickly.
What is it like to work as a Naturopath remotely?
Covid's pandemic has triggered a spectacular revival in the well-being and health industries. Likewise, all practices that relieve or soothe physical or psychological ailments have proven successful. There are already 6,000 practitioners of Naturopathy in the US, which is still an emerging market. Online consultations with Naturopaths are now possible very quickly through digital tools such as videoconferencing. There are many options available to those who wish to turn to alternative medicine and more open-minded professionals! Find out why you should consider this very attractive alternative!
1. Your services are the same as those offered in a private practice
Naturopathy's basics
Naturopaths assist their patients in identifying and understanding the sources of imbalances in their bodies. The goal is to improve the general state of health and to assist with functional or psychological disorders.
Here is a sample of some of the disorders observed:
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Immune fragility
- Weight loss or maintenance
- Drainage or detoxification
- Stress management
- Mood disorders or seasonal depression
- Hormonal imbalances (premenstrual syndrome, cycle disorders...)
- Chronic pain (muscular, tenosynovial, articular...)
- Occasionally or chronically suffering from digestive problems
The health professional can suggest a variety of treatment methods, such as food, phytotherapy, or aromatherapy, to be as effective as possible.
The videoconferencing process follows similar modalities
Session characteristics are the same whether it takes place in the office or remotely:
- Initial assessments typically last between an hour and an hour and a half and are followed by 45-minute consultations.
- An extremely attentive, benevolent, and empathic practitioner.
- Providing high-quality solutions and advice.
- Consultation fees, even if they tend to decline with regular appointments. 😉
2. Video conferencing allows you to offer your services when and where you want.
You can choose where you want to work

Videoconference sessions allow you to choose the time slots you wish to dedicate to your activity. If you need a three-day weekend, you can have one.
