The Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC) is the most important and largest holistic health association in Canada.


The NHPC’s main goals are raising public awareness of holistic health, strengthening and maintaining professional standards of holistic health practitioners in Canada, and promoting and improving the health of the general public through information.
For Canadian bodywork students or therapists who’d like to learn Thai Massage in Thailand and seek to collect NHPC Continuing Education credits it’s possible to choose Thai Massage courses in Thailand that comply with NHPC standards!
However, there are only a few NHPC certified Thai Massage schools, teachers and courses in Thailand, meaning there’s unfortunately not that much choice. Be aware also that not all courses of these schools count towards NHPC CE points. Make sure to always check the school’s website or inquire explicitly which course modalities or workshops are eligible towards CE credits.
Another way to make sure that the courses offered count towards CE points is simply checking the NHPC website or contacting the NHPC by e-mail.
Well then, let’s go take a look at the schools in Thailand that are registered with the NHPC.
