ICONIC Board has published its full mission and completed a unified identity across the organization. This post summarizes what is now live and where to find it.
The Mission and the Six Commitments Are Published
The Board's full mission is now published on our about page. ICONIC stands for the Independent Credentialing Organization for Natural & Integrative Care, and the name states the mandate: independent, standards-based credentialing for practitioners across the natural and integrative care field.
Alongside the mission, the Six Commitments are now published in full. They are the operating code behind every credential we issue:
- Integrity. We say only what we can verify.
- Competence. Credentials certify demonstrated skill, not payment.
- Oversight. A published ethics code, a working complaints process, and revocation power.
- Neutrality. No modality favored, no school privileged, independent of all education providers.
- Inclusion. Many traditions, one standard.
- Care. Standards protect the public first.
The commitments are not aspirational language. They are the criteria we expect the public, applicants, and credential holders to hold us to, and they sit alongside our published Code of Ethics and complaints process.
Sitewide Identity Refresh Completed
The identity refresh across iconicboard.health is complete. Every page now carries the unified ICONIC Board identity, and the core public documents are in their permanent locations: the mission and Six Commitments at /about, the ethics code at /ethics, tier requirements at /credentials, governance at /governance, our trust commitments at /trust, and public credential verification at /verify.
The credential ladder is published in full on the credentials page, running from IBC-HHC Candidate through IBC-HHA Associate, IBC-HHP Practitioner, IBC-HHE Educator, and IBC-HHM Master Practitioner, to the exam-based IBC-DHH Diplomate and the board-conferred IBC-HHF Fellow, with requirements listed per tier.
Founding-Member Pricing Is Published
Founding-member pricing is now published. Certification at any sequential tier is $1,495 for founding members, limited to the first 50 practitioners per tier. Founding membership locks the renewal rate at $195 per year for life.
Published pricing for later phases is also posted: $2,495 for early professionals with under five years in practice and $3,495 for established practitioners with five or more years, with flat renewal rates by phase of $195, $295, and $395. Candidate registration is $95, and the Diplomate examination fee is $795. Full details are on the credentials page.
Board Recognition Pathway Open for Review
The Board Recognition Pathway is open for review of existing credentials. Practitioners who hold credentials from other bodies can submit them for evaluation against ICONIC's published tier requirements. As with every review we conduct, submitted credentials are verified with the issuing schools and boards, and recognition decisions are made by the Board against the published standard, with reasons given.
Practitioners interested in the pathway can review the tier requirements at /credentials and begin at /apply.
What Comes Next
Exam development and governance expansion are in progress.
Everything announced above is live now and open to inspection. We publish our mission, our commitments, our pricing, and our processes because that is what the first commitment requires: we say only what we can verify, and we invite you to verify all of it, starting at /about.
