“As a reiki practitioner and lifestyle coach, I highly appreciate the support and guidance offered through membership and insurance with IICT as well as their online community group and resources.” ~ Angie
“One of the ways that IICT stands out to me as a professional practitioner and member of the organisation is the level of professionalism and access to ready-to-go marketing materials. The member portal truly is truly helpful, especially when establishing a new practice or sole-trader business. In my experience, this is quite different to other member organisations.” ~ Dijana
“Over the years, I’ve joined a few different associations and I have found IICT to be the most informative and valuable. They have so many amazing offers for members, from networking, information on a range of modalities, discounts for further study, marketing information and more. I love the articles they share on their blog across a broad range of topics. If you are looking for a professional industry body, I highly recommend IICT.” ~ Natalie
