Why Choose a Career as a Healing Professional

Natural healing and alternative and complementary medicine are among the fastest growing economic segments of our society. The media is filled with pharmaceutical solutions for every conceivable illness and associated side effects for most of these drugs. Every day, there is another study, newspaper article, or television report about nutrition, weight loss, herbs, bodywork, stress-management and body-mind issues. Health and healing is an ever-changing field of study, and any healing professional must have a well-grounded foundation in the holistic model to be truly effective. With so many different theories, ideas, and positions on the best approaches to health and healing, even among the experts, it is not difficult to understand why there is so much confusion about the best course of action to take when a person becomes ill. It is estimated that in the area of nutrition alone approximately three of every four vitamin users are over age 35. And, this rapidly-growing demographic segment is expected to exceed 150 million by the year 2005. In 2003, the nutritional supplement industry reached $17.4 billion in annual sales.

More than ever, well trained, multi-skilled wellness practitioners are more in demand than ever before. Clearly the economic potential and career opportunities are expanding at a faster pace than ever before. 

The International Association of Healing Professionals has eight  key goals as part of its mission:

  To bring healers from all nations together and create networks that will elevate the business of healing.

To lead the way in developing a global village for the healing industry where healers of every level and specialty will raise 
    their level of skill and knowledge.

To champion the healing industry as a credible profession through ethical standards, certification, continuing education,
     professional publications, and public education.

To provide programs for the approval of continuing education offerings, seminars, events, including, but not limited to,
     self-study programs, university and college based courses, etc, that meet the requirements of a quality health education.
