Questions for the Professional

If you are a healing professional, you know clients have an unlimited number of healers and therapists to choose from online.  Why should they choose you?

We prove to the public that our IHSPA members are here because they care about their reputation.  Because members openly state their education and credentials, affiliations, and other vital information, which is verified by the IHSPA, a level of trust and confidence is guaranteed for the consumer. 

What can the IHSPA do for me, a professional?

The International Healing and Spiritual Professionals Association provides you, the professional, with a membership opportunity guaranteeing accurate information to potential clients regarding you and your practice.  Through the IHSPA website, the public can view your listing in the Professional Member Directory.
We provide you with a code for our clickable seal to place on your own website, routing browsers to your verification page.

What kind of healing practitioners or therapists do you accept?

We accept any professional that uses a form of complementary and alternative medicine, coaching, therapy, and more.

Our focus on alternative therapies exists because allopathic medicine, and professionals who use more conventional therapies, already have many professional organizations to choose from.  We do not downplay conventional modalities; rather, we wish to provide access for alternative therapists and healers to a professional membership organization which cares about quality control. 

Examples of complimentary and alternative modalities we accept include Reiki healers, EFT practitioners, Energy Psychology practitioners, ordained ministers, metaphysicians, spiritual healers and practitioners, acupuncturists, acupressurists, hypnotherapists, herbalists, homeopaths, massage therapists, spiritual counselors, coaches, and wellness therapists.  If you aren't sure whether or not you're qualified to be part of the IHSPA, please contact us.  As long as your identity and history can be validated, you most likely can.  

You mention quality control.  What are membership requirements?

Professional members are required to adhere to a code of ethics.  They are also required to submit copies of photo ID and available documentation for all listed educational experience (including copies of certificates or degrees earned).  Documentation is not displayed but kept on file in case your identity as a professional is ever questioned. All education is verified by the IHSPA by emailing or telephoning the school or instructor before being listed in the Professional Member Directory.  Professional members are required to submit, every six months, changes or additions (if any) to their directory listing and activities as a therapist/healer/etc.  Our professionals are also required to pay their membership dues on time.  All this is our IHSPA "quality control" required to keep membership active.

My training was not accredited.  Can I still join?

Yes.  The IHSPA realizes most spiritual and healing education is not government accredited.  As long as you honestly state what training you have had, and it is verified, accreditation is not necessary for membership.  Keep in mind that accredited schools will have the accreditation listed.
