Welcome to the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

CNHC was established with government support to regulate the following complementary therapies:

Alexander Technique teaching; Aromatherapy; Bowen Therapy; Healing; Hypnotherapy; Massage Therapy; Microsystems Acupuncture; Naturopathy; Nutritional Therapy; Reflexology; Reiki; Shiatsu; Sports Therapy; Yoga Therapy

Our key purpose is to protect the public. The Department of Health has recommended that, where CNHC registers the complementary therapists in question, you consult with someone who is CNHC registered.
