Code of Ethics
Each member of the International Healing and Spiritual Professionals
Association is required to sign a copy of the Healer Code of Ethics and
inform their clients they have done so, such as by displaying it in
their office or emails, on their website, or by giving clients copies
along with their registration paperwork. A copy on blue parchment
paper is included with the first year IHSPA membership pack.
1. I agree to do the best I can for everyone, equally and without
discrimination of race, sex, cultural, national or ethnic origins,
sexual orientation or political persuasions.
2. I agree to know and work only within my limitations, including
not diagnosing, treating, or prescribing unless I am legally licensed
to do so. I will refer clients to other professionals when
necessary.
3. I agree to uphold moral and ethical standards, including
honesty and integrity, and will seek counsel should I find myself
engaging in activities otherwise.
4. I agree to hold my clients in ultimate confidence, unless
doing so breaks the law or causes imminent harm to my client or another
person. I will require signed consent from my client before
sharing any information and will keep written and electronic records
secure to the best of my ability.
5. I agree not to abuse or use my clients in any way, including
sexually, emotionally, or financially. This may also include
unnecessarily selling my services or taking an unreasonable amount of
money for products or services performed.
6. I agree to never falsely advertise myself, my products, or my
services. I will provide accurate pricing and clear goals, and
will also explain treatment options before the client's first session.
7. I agree to respect my clients and hold them in the highest
regard at all times. I will never be judgmental, talk down to
them or make them feel inferior.
8. I agree to state my professional availability to my clients,
and will advise clients when and how they may and may not contact me.
9. I agree to provide a safe, educational and comfortable healing
environment, whether physically or theoretically, for my clients.
10. I agree to inform my clients of this code of ethics, either
by displaying them publicly or including them in their client
documentation.
