Questions for the Public
When you're searching for a quality healing professional,
you have an unlimited number of choices online.
Sometimes it's impossible to decide which healing professional best suits
your needs.
This is where the International Healing and Spiritual
Professionals Association comes in. Our healing practitioners include
Reiki healers, EFT and Energy Psychology practitioners,
ordained ministers and spiritual counselors,
metaphysicians, spiritual healers and practitioners,
acupuncturists, acupressurists, hypnotherapists, coaches,
wellness therapists, and many others.
Our IHSPA members are here because they
care about their
reputation. They openly state their education
and credentials, affiliations, and other vital information.
These are verified by the IHSPA.
Members are required to adhere to a code of ethics.
What can the IHSPA do
for me, a consumer?
The International
Healing and Spiritual Professionals Association provides
you, the consumer, with a membership database of
professionals guaranteeing accurate information about the
professional and his or her practice. Through the
IHSPA website, you can rest assured that the members listed
are who they claim to be. Please see below for more
specific details.
Is this free
for me?
Yes! Anyone may freely access the member directory
pages.
My practitioner is not
listed by the IHSPA. Does this mean he or she isn't
recommended?
Absolutely not! Your spiritual or healing
practitioner may not even know of the IHSPA. You may
want to advise your healing practitioner that an
inexpensive professional association exists which would
provide more credibility and visibility to their
practice.
Looking at a
practitioner's web page, I notice that her school has not
been accredited. Does that mean I should choose
someone else?
No. Accreditation is a very tricky thing, and moreso
when it comes to complimentary and alternative medicine,
alternative healing, ministerial ordinations, and other
such things. Accreditation simply means that the
quality provided by a facility's or institution's services
and operations are examined by a third-party accrediting
agency to determine if applicable standards are met.
No accreditation can mean anything from zero quality training
to university
quality training. If you have any questions about
the quality or sufficiency of a practitioner's training,
all you have to do is ask.
Does the International
Healing and Spiritual Professionals Association keep
current with their members?
Yes. Each member is required to contact
us on a regular basis and provide updated information, if
any, as well as current practitioner activities. This
way we know the healing professional is still in
practice
I have a complaint about
one of your professional members.
The IHSPA strives to ensure clients receive
the best service from their healing practitioners, and
takes complaints seriously. With that said, a
complaint against a member does not mandate their
termination from the Professional Member Directory. A
traditional medical doctor might receive ten or more
consumer complaints a day! However, all
correspondence is logged and if two or more consumers voice
problems about a given practitioner, the IHSPA will contact
the member to address these issues and determine any
actions taken on a case-by-case basis.
How do I Read a Practitioner's Listing?
To browse the professional healing practitioner's
listings, just click on "members" at the top of any page of
this site. This will take you to the Professional
Member Directory. When you click on a healer, you
will get a listing similar to this:
Dr. Jane Smith, D.D., Reiki Master
The full title of
the practitioner is listed, along with any other
certifications.
Education: Doctor of Divinity, New Hampshire School
of Thought
Reiki Master Certification, Private Study with Mrs. Helen
Johnson, Reiki Master
Under "Education",
the practitioner's verified studies are
presented. All institutions that have a form of
accreditation will have the accrediting body presented
after it, with a link to its website if one is available.
In the event of non-accreditation, such as private
study (as a lot of Reiki is), the IHSPA contacts the mentor
and verifies the practitioner is truly a former
student.
