IICT Offers Access to Insurance for Any Natural Therapist
August 2, 2021 – The world is changing and holistic health is picking up speed extremely quickly. Natural therapies are becoming more popular and the industry is evolving as practitioners discover new solutions for clientele. In the fields of skincare, energy healing, mental health care, business coaching, holistic veterinary services, and everything between, natural therapists need an insurance partner.
It is common for natural therapists to try expanding or branching into another sphere of practice. Of course, this means getting certified, but it also means more fees and ongoing education with most insurance membership associations.
Long story short: continuing education used to be mandatory for general practitioners of natural therapy, but Founder and Serial Entrepreneur, Lawrence Ellyard noticed the same complaints from cohorts.
Ongoing education classes weren’t valuable, membership fees and insurance costs were unnecessarily high to keep practicing, and travel expenses were borderline unrealistic. Practitioners who held qualifications in more than one modality were forced to take out different insurance plans, resulting in more work for less profit. Some were paying much more than was necessary in fees, and not getting the industry recognition deserved.
In 2002, Ellyard brought all of the data together to launch an all-encompassing solution: the IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists™). The IICT is an alternative insurance membership professional body helping natural practitioners save money and time by keeping business insurance affairs in one place.
It also gives practitioners the freedom to choose to participate in ongoing education. Continued education is not a requirement for members of the IICT; once certified in one or more complementary therapies, practitioners are deemed competent to remain in such practice. This is revolutionary for natural therapies, as it opens the door for practitioners to sustainably pivot and offer differing services to clients.
The IICT gives natural therapists room to expand without having to go through middle men and extra expenses for professional recognition. It is leading the way toward an evolved natural therapy industry where therapists can adapt to clients’ emerging needs and demands.
