Learn to Lift

A 10-week, in-person, small-group strength training program for women who want to get strong in midlife and beyond.

How does the fee structure work?

because programs can be covered by extended health insurance, and all participants

need to be active patients, the pricing varies depending on a few factors:

Weekly group sessions and assessment/reassessment fees are typically covered by extended health insurance under Naturopathic Medicine


Registration fees can be submitted to health spending accounts, if available.

Insurance Coverage

Many extended health insurance plans cover naturopathic services.

Group sessions are billed as naturopathic care
Itemized receipts are provided after each session
Coverage depends on your individual plan

Any portion not covered by insurance may be claimed as an eligible medical expense on your income tax return. The Canada Revenue Agency recognizes naturopathic services as eligible medical expenses.
