Hi Susanne,
Yes I have but not for insomnia. I was considering consulting a naturopath for insomnia since I am pulling at everything to sleep better. I’ve decided not to because I am fairly certain they aren’t specialized in insomnia and will only provide the basics that you may already do. Sleep hygiene (cool dark room, no caffeine, exercise) and then anything natural would be valerian root, passion flower, kava etc which may help a little.
I think two people to consult would be your GP for any underlying medical conditions and then a therapist who specializes in CBT-I. If you feel comfortable with seeing a naturopath, by all means do but I wouldn’t expect them to provide much more than what you may already know or have tried.
Someone mentioned a naturopath here (it didn’t help their insomnia):

What are you hoping to get from a naturopath that you are unable to get from a CBT-I practitioner? I only ask because there is overwhelming evidence supporting the effectiveness of CBT-I when it comes to improving sleep.
