National Occupational Classification (NOC) code 32209 covers 'Other practitioners of natural healing' within Canada's TEER 2 category. This unit group includes alternative health professionals such as homeopaths, herbalists, phytotherapists, and osteopathic manual practitioners. These professionals evaluate, treat, and manage patients' health issues using natural, non-invasive therapies and holistic approaches. Many practitioners in this category operate private practices or work in specialized wellness clinics and complementary health centers across Canada.
To work under NOC 32209, candidates typically require a combination of formal education, such as a college diploma or private training program in their specific field of natural healing, along with supervised clinical training. Depending on the province or territory, registration with a regulatory body may be mandatory.

Prospective immigrants must ensure their qualifications align with these regional standards to practice legally in Canada.
