The CSNN Alumni Association

Our mission

CSNNAA is a national not-for-profit professional organization and we currently represent the largest number of holistic nutrition professionals

in Canada. We are dedicated to the support and advancement of those who have graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (csnn.ca).

Our mission is to establish CSNNAA as the starting point for CSNN grads. Through community, information and partnership we endeavour to support, encourage and guide all holistic nutritional professionals to achieve success.

We support the interests of the holistic nutrition industry in order to improve awareness and recognition about the benefits of a holistic nutrition approach for the general public, insurance companies and within the medical and wellness industries.

Both a professional and an alumni association, we legally own the CSNN Registry.
