Chapters & Community

As an NHAA member, you are part of a century-old community of practitioners and scholars in herbal medicine and naturopathy. There are regular NHAA community events, both in-person and online, where you can meet with other members, share knowledge and experience, and form supportive relationships.

Regional Chapters

NHAA members have established four regional chapters to support fellow herbalists and naturopaths and advance our profession in the wider community. Anyone is welcome to attend the regular meetings, talks, outings and other events and there are many benefits, including:

  • Excellent networking opportunities to connect with other practitioners.
  • Students & non members are welcome to participate.
  • Talks & presentations on a wide range of topics relevant to Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy
  • Earn CPD points for meeting attendance.
  • Keep abreast of current issues & developments.
  • Build your public speaking skills by giving a talk & earn CPD points for your presentation.
  • Enjoy the support of your local Herbal Community & perhaps find yourself a mentor.
