This process entails submitting written material responding to the criteria laid out in the HBB Practitioner Certification Packet.

The applications are received twice a year and assessed by the Healing Beyond Borders Certification Board.

This programme produces highly skilled practitioners who undergo a comprehensive course of study to complete the practitioner level. Those who complete certification have “gone the extra mile” to measure up to an International Standard of Credentialling and Code of Ethics.
