Welcome to the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM).
Since 2005, we've been helping practitioners, coaches, therapists, beauty professionals and training providers build trusted, recognised and successful businesses across more than 60 countries.
We believe accreditation is more than a certificate. It's the beginning of a journey built on professionalism, credibility and continued growth.
Our mission is to support ethical professionals by providing internationally recognised accreditation, practical business support and a welcoming global community that encourages confidence, connection and lifelong learning.
Whether you're just starting your career or expanding an established business, IPHM is here to help you build trust, raise standards and achieve your ambitions.
Because when practitioners are recognised and supported, they can focus on what matters most... making a positive difference in the lives of the people they serve.
Every practitioner begins with a passion for helping others. But building a trusted, recognised and successful business can feel overwhelming in an ever evolving industry.
That's why IPHM exists.
We provide professional accreditation, ongoing support and an international community to help practitioners and training providers grow with confidence, credibility and purpose.
Trust is at the heart of every successful practitioner and training provider.
IPHM accreditation demonstrates your commitment to professional standards, ethical practice and continued learning, while increasing your visibility through our international directory and global community.
Accreditation is where the journey begins.
At IPHM, we're building a global community that supports practitioners and training providers through professional recognition, education, business growth, valuable resources and genuine human support.
Every application is personally reviewed because we believe professionalism should always feel personal, supportive and encouraging.
"We built IPHM with one clear goal: to help practitioners and training providers grow with the recognition, support and confidence they deserve."
The IPHM Team
At IPHM, we believe that when practitioners and training providers are supported, recognised and encouraged to grow, they create a positive impact that reaches every client, student and community they serve.
Everything we do is guided by our core values of Authenticity, Integrity, Empowerment, Excellence, Inclusivity and Community.
If you share those values, we'd be honoured to welcome you into a global community committed to professionalism, lifelong learning and helping one another succeed.
The IPHM Trustmark is displayed by accredited practitioners and training providers worldwide to demonstrate professionalism, credibility and a commitment to high standards within the wellness industry.
We have a straightforward and cost-effective online application process. It is a thorough process, not to mention there are some high expectations that need to be met. But almost all therapists, beauticians or training providers that apply to be IPHM certified, hit the standards we expect.

It's someone's confidence, their credibility, and often the thing that finally makes them feel taken seriously as a professional. That's why the team behind IPHM matters so much to us. We want everyone who works here to feel supported, valued, and part of something worth staying for, because a team that feels genuinely cared for shows up properly for our members. We work together, not in silos, and we're proud that many of our team have built real, meaningful careers with us. That stability is what lets us walk alongside practitioners and training providers for the long term, not just process an application and move on.
The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) was founded by the visionary Trish. Trish is more than an entrepreneur — she’s the heartbeat behind IPHM. With a deep passion for natural health and a fierce belief in raising standards across the holistic and beauty industries, Trish created a professional accreditation board that has grown to become one of the largest of its kind worldwide.
Her journey began with a simple but powerful idea: that practitioners and training providers deserved to be recognised, supported, and celebrated for the life-changing work they do. From those early days, Trish poured her heart into building a platform that’s respected, inclusive, and led with integrity. IPHM was never just a business to her, it was a mission.
After years of tireless dedication, Trish has now stepped down from her role as Director to enjoy a well-earned change of pace swapping the office for open roads in her beloved camper van. But she hasn’t disappeared. Trish still works with IPHM as a trusted consultant, offering her wisdom and experience behind the scenes.
Today, IPHM continues to grow under a passionate team that remains true to Trish’s original vision: to uphold the highest standards in holistic practice, support our members every step of the way, and keep raising the bar for our industry.
We're proud of where we've come from and even more excited about where we’re going.
