Let's face it - the practice of hypnotherapy and NLP is not well regulated around the world. People need to have a way to feel safe and able to trust the practitioner they are considering for help. That is WHY your future clients want you to be certified by an independent, trustworthy organization. So they can trust YOU, because they can trust us.
An Independent 3rd Party
There are hypnosis organizations that exist solely to sell you their own hypnosis courses. So they just slap a label on themselves to appear to be something they are not. Their courses may not have had any review by any objective external source, so you may or may not be getting a reliable education or credentials.
The International Hypnosis Association is an independent hypnosis and NLP credentialing organization. In other words, while we do have member fees, we are not selling you any courses, let alone our own. Our sole purpose is to ensure that our members and the courses we approve ALL meet our high standards.
The IHA is an objective 3rd party. If a course has the IHA's stamp of approval, it means we have reviewed their course content by an objective set of criteria.
IHA course approval is 100% FREE. It cannot be bought. This is to ensure that the review and acceptance process remains unbiased.
What IHA Membership Means
Our members have ALL received a quality hypnosis and/or NLP education, have been evaluated and proven their competence, and have agreed to abide by our Code Of Ethics. We keep our membership fees low and offer free ongoing educational bonus programs and member support.
We want to do everything we can to promote the ethical, accessible, and effective practice of hypnosis and NLP everywhere, because we believe these tools can help change people's lives all over the world.
