What is the NHTS?

NHTS stands for Natural Health Teaching Services. It has been formed to create a new profession called Natural Health Practitioner.

The NHTS is a non – profit organization registered as a Section 21 company not for gain. The Founding members represent 20 Modalities of Practice in the field of Natural Health.

They are represented either as associations or schools for:

We will constantly be inviting new associations and schools to join us,’ says Michela Collett.

Due to the fantastic advances in website technology the NHTS is in a position to act as a recorder of objectives achieved in all the above training including specialisations and personal growth courses and therefore able to recognise the prior learning of practitioners in the field and those of students still in training. This enables us to create a transparent record of a person's abilities so that members of the public can truly appreciate what goes into the attainment of the title Natural Health Practitioner and into the attainment of certifications in the various specialisations.

It is our aim to have Natural Health Practitioner signboards on every corner in South Africa, making this industry very much part of choosing the natural option in terms of taking care of your health issues.

NHTS aims at promoting the use of Natural Health practitioners, personal growth workshops with teachers in our profession and the pursuit of a career in this industry as primary to its aims.  We wish to do this via magazines, our website, our boards, TV programs, festivals and newspapers.

We know that unity in our industry needs to be balanced with maintenance and promotion of individual uniqueness. We will maintain the personal touch and continue to support the development and introduction of new methods and ideas.
