Welcome to Pennsylvania Traditional Naturopaths Association

 Dear PaTNA Members & Prospective Members,

Since we initially came together as a group, our main focus has been to fight legislative bills that have been introduced in both the House and Senate. A huge part of our focus needs to be on addressing these bills and participating in the legislative process to make sure the integrity of our profession stays intact. It protects the rights of Doctors of Traditional Naturopathy now and in the years to come to practice. 

Currently, a bill has been passed that could change the way we currently practice as well as change our title, which we have maintained for well over the past 150 years.

This needs to be a priority. Yet, there are other functions of a professional association that are also important. We want a professional organization that we can refer to others and network with other colleagues to share resources, ideas, and challenges.  Important concerns are accountability, professionalism, and having an association to address these concerns. We believe it is important to have some type of continuing education and certifying board, but one that does not discriminate against our profession or any other. I look forward to hearing your concerns.

Our new board consists of several very talented, knowledgeable, and compassionate Doctors of Traditional Naturopathy who are currently in practice here in Pennsylvania. 

We very strongly need another board member and vacant committee members, and are currently seeking to fill these positions. Please consider joining us. We need your help and support, and we look forward to getting to know you all. We have well over 450 or more Doctors of Traditional Naturopathy in Pennsylvania, and we can share a wealth of resources with our clients and one another.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions and concerns you may have. Wishing you all good health.

Sincerely,

Pa Traditional Naturopaths Association
Board of Directors
