The International Hypnosis Association
"Promoting a high level of professionalism in the field of hypnosis, providing support, training, and networking opportunities for hypnosis professionals, and advocating the valid and therapeutic uses of hypnosis through increased public awareness."
Hello and welcome to the International Hypnosis Association (IHA).
The International Hypnosis Association provides credentialing and certification worldwide for Hypnotists, Hypnotherapists, and NLP Practitioners based upon knowledge and skill level. We also provide specialized and advanced certifications. The IHA grants credentials to live hypnotherapy and NLP trainings and distance learning courses that meet our standards.
The IHA supports the practice of hypnosis and NLP for Licensed Mental Health Therapists, Counselors, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Physicians and those with quality hypnosis and NLP backgrounds. All IHA's members adhere to the Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The IHA was formed by Licensed Mental Health Therapist, Jensine Ban. Jensine works as a psychotherapist for one of the largest health organizations in the world. Through her work with therapists, clients, and other professionals in related fields, she quickly saw the need for a dynamic, standards-based, legitimate hypnosis and NLP credentialing body. Jensine works with IHA's Advisory Board and Regional Member Relations Coordinators, a group of highly respected hypnosis and NLP professionals.
Our Philosophy
In credentialing hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners, the IHA believes that skill level is the most important criteria. We do not believe that certification should be based solely on the number of hours of study.
While there is a controversy in the field between those with advanced degrees and those who have concentrated their education/training on hypnosis and NLP, the IHA supports the practice of both groups as long as they stay within their respective scopes of practice. The IHA provides guidance in staying within scope of practice.
