What’s the IPHM membership?

[Michelle]

Hi Dakota and Margaret,

The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) membership offers practitioners direct access to a network of affiliated insurance providers. This provides strong insurance coverage options specifically designed for holistic and complementary therapy professionals.

While Scholistico does not sell or broker insurance directly, our internationally recognized certifications—such as those accredited by IPHM—can help you unlock insurance coverage through these accrediting partners. Many of these organizations, including IPHM, offer pathways to recommended insurance providers once you become a member.

If you’re interested, you can apply for IPHM membership directly through their website, where you’ll find the application process and associated fees.

Thank you. This is a very useful information

Do you know if Australia accepts your certification?

[Michelle]

Hi Michele, great question!

Our certifications are internationally recognized for non-clinical wellness settings. However, since regulations can vary by country, we always recommend checking with local authorities or professional boards in Australia to see how it aligns with your goals.

Let us know if you need help with anything else! 😊

Hi Demelza,

Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on completing the Holistic Nutrition and Holistic Health Practitioner Certifications!

Our courses are accredited by several reputable organizations, including the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM). However, please note that while our courses provide this accreditation, we do not offer free or discounted IPHM membership as part of the course enrollment.

The application process and associated fees, such as the $150 membership fee you mentioned, are set directly by IPHM. We recommend contacting IPHM directly for the most accurate information regarding membership benefits and fees.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Could you inform me what the step(s) are after once completed Holistic Practitioner Certificate?

can we work with other providers? Go on our own or will we need to take a board certification? I am located in the USA, in case anyone else has gone through it.

just trying to prepare, because I am almost at that point.

Hi Amber,

Great question, and congratulations on getting close to completion! 🎉

Once you’ve completed the Holistic Health Practitioner Certification, you can absolutely begin applying what you’ve learned in non-clinical settings—such as wellness coaching, holistic health workshops, private consultations, community programs, or even partnering with licensed professionals. Many graduates also use it to complement existing careers in areas like yoga, massage therapy, or nutrition.

Please note that our courses are not equivalent to a master’s degree or a clinical license. Since regulations vary by state, we highly recommend checking with your local guidelines to understand the scope of practice in your area.

You’re on an exciting path—wishing you all the best as you move forward!
