The Holistic Healer Certified (HHC) Designation
The professional credential for holistic, integrative, and intuitive practitioners worldwide.
The International Board of Healing (IBOH) provides professional credentialing for practitioners in the holistic wellness industry. The HHC designation represents a commitment to ethical integrity, professional standards, and documented practice.
What Is the HHC?
The Holistic Healer Certified (HHC) designation is a professional credential awarded by the International Board of Healing (IBOH) to practitioners who demonstrate a commitment to ethical, client-centered holistic practice.
The HHC is not tied to any single modality. It is a cross-disciplinary credential that recognizes the practitioner's professional conduct, ethical standards, and dedication to responsible practice — regardless of whether they practice Reiki, herbalism, somatic bodywork, intuitive guidance, sound healing, or any other holistic modality.
Who Is Eligible?
The HHC is designed for practitioners who:
• Have completed training in one or more holistic, integrative, or intuitive modalities
• Are actively practicing or preparing to practice with clients
• Are willing to operate under the IBOH Code of Ethics
• Can provide documentation of their training background and practice focus
The HHC is open to practitioners at all career stages — from newly trained practitioners seeking immediate professional credibility, to established healers looking to formalize their standing.
