At Boucher, we know the value of hands-on learning. Our cohort-model of education ensures small class sizes of 20-30 people and honours the value of interpersonal relationships during the learning process. Through the cohort model, classmates and instructors alike provide support and encourage familiarity, establishing a strong community for each student’s time at Boucher.

The true power of naturopathic medicine lies in the harmony of body, mind, and spirit. We strive to honour that harmony by instilling naturopathy's foundation – holistic, preventative treatment – in all of our students. Our naturopathic approach to health combines hundreds of years of individually applied treatment with modern evidence-informed practice. The simple tenets of our medicine allow the power of nature to express itself fully, allowing the healing of body, mind, and spirit.
