ICONIC Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner
The IBC-HHP™ is issued to active holistic health practitioners who have documented client work and meet the ICONIC Board's professional standards for practice protocols, client conduct, and ethics. It validates your practice — not just your training.
The Practitioner credential requires demonstrated active practice — not just training completion. Applicants must provide documentation of client work and meet the Board's practice hour thresholds.
Completed training in one or more holistic health modalities from a recognized program. Training can be distributed across multiple disciplines. Continuing education and advanced certifications count toward this threshold.
Documented direct client work in a holistic health context. Client contact hours can span multiple modalities and practice settings. Documentation is self-reported and confirmed by professional references.
Evidence of active practice — defined as currently serving clients in a holistic health capacity. New practitioners who have completed training and are actively building their client base are eligible.
Agreement to the ICONIC Board professional code of ethics, including client relationship standards, scope of practice adherence, and professional conduct requirements. Review at iconic-board.polsia.app/ethics.
Two professional references from colleagues, supervisors, or educators in the holistic health field who can attest to your practice conduct, client relationships, and professional standing. References are contacted directly.
A professional practice statement describing your scope of practice, client population, and holistic approach (typically 200–400 words), plus the non-refundable $199 application processing fee. Founding Member pricing locks at $199 for life.
