The American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) is a 5000+ strong, specialty nursing association founded in 1981 and headquartered in Topeka, Kansas. We support nurses and other healthcare professionals who approach care with attention to the whole person, including physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and environmental needs. Our story began when founder Charlie McGuire brought together 33 nurses from eight states for our first meeting in Houston, Texas. They shared a commitment to more compassionate healthcare and greater support for nurses themselves. That purpose continues to guide our work. We advance holistic nursing through education, research, advocacy, and professional community. Our offerings include continuing nursing education, webinars, self-study programs, an annual conference, and publications such as the Journal of Holistic Nursing and Beginnings magazine. Local chapters give members opportunities to exchange knowledge, build relationships, and practice self-care. We helped secure the American Nurses Association’s recognition of holistic nursing as an official specialty in 2006. Today, we continue to support its scope and standards of practice while encouraging research-informed care. Through professional learning and connection, we help nurses develop their practice and care for their own wellbeing alongside the people they serve.
Yoga Alliance is a nonprofit membership organization supporting yoga teachers, schools, and the wider yoga community around the world. Founded in 1999, we grew from a collective of teachers and practitioners who recognized the need for shared standards in yoga teacher training while preserving the practice’s traditions. We maintain a voluntary registry of yoga professionals and schools, with credentials including Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Registered Yoga School (RYS), and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP). Our work brings professional recognition together with a shared commitment to ethical teaching, clear boundaries of practice, and inclusion. Beyond credentialing, we provide educational resources, continuing education opportunities, community events, and professional support. Our directories help people find yoga teachers, schools, and continuing education providers, while our advocacy addresses issues affecting yoga professionals and access to practice. Through research, partnerships, and the work of the Yoga Alliance Foundation, we support efforts to bring yoga to communities facing barriers to participation. From our beginnings as a teacher-led initiative, our purpose has grown alongside the community we serve: to support yoga in its fullness and help more people find a place within it.
Founded in 1943, the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) is a nonprofit professional association serving massage therapists, students, and schools across the United States. Our story began when a group of massage therapists in Chicago came together to exchange knowledge, support ethical practice, and strengthen their profession. Today, we help members build and sustain their careers through liability insurance, continuing education, business tools, career resources, and professional connections. From preparing for the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) to developing clinical skills or running a practice, our resources support members at different stages of their working lives. We advocate at the federal, state, and local levels on issues affecting massage therapists, including fair licensing and professional recognition. We also support research and share research-informed information about massage therapy with the public and the healthcare community. Our national convention, state chapters, and educational programs create opportunities for members to learn from one another and contribute to the profession’s future. Guided by a volunteer national Board of Directors, we remain focused on the purpose that brought us together: serving our members while advancing the art, science, and practice of massage therapy.
The American Society of Acupuncturists (ASA) is a national professional organization founded in 2015 to advance acupuncture and herbal medicine across the United States. We bring state associations and licensed acupuncturists together to strengthen the profession and help more people access care. Our work connects advocacy, education, and research. Through our network of member state associations, we support efforts to improve professional education, practice standards, credentialing, and recognition within the American healthcare system. We give practitioners opportunities to learn, share knowledge, and participate in decisions that affect their profession. At the state and federal levels, we advocate for policies that expand access to acupuncture. This includes pursuing Medicare recognition for licensed acupuncturists and supporting state associations in their legislative work. We also provide educational webinars, conferences, professional resources, and information for patients and policymakers. Since our founding, we have worked toward a shared goal: recognition of acupuncture as a complete system of medicine. We envision a healthcare system where acupuncturists contribute as respected colleagues and leaders, and patients have equitable access to their care.

We provide website-building and scheduling tools, career listings, and resources that help practitioners manage the everyday work of running a practice. Learning is central to what we offer. Through the ABMP Education Center, Massage & Bodywork magazine, The ABMP Podcast, and reference apps such as Five-Minute Muscles and Pocket Pathology, members can explore techniques, strengthen their knowledge, and stay connected to developments in the field. We also support students and educators with exam preparation, instructor development, and school resources. Our legislative advocacy keeps members informed about policy and regulatory issues affecting their work. Guided by our credo, “expect more,” we bring education, professional protection, and responsive service together so members have support throughout their careers.

Local and virtual chapters, self-care gatherings, and a book club create space for shared learning and lasting connections. We also provide advocacy updates and grant opportunities for outreach and service. Across these activities, our purpose is to support responsible Healing Touch practice and help members build sustainable professional lives.
The National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) represents the Ayurvedic profession in the United States. Incorporated in 2000, our association grew from conversations that began in 1998 among four founders seeking to support Ayurvedic practitioners and preserve classical Ayurvedic education and practice. Today, we bring together professionals, students, educators, and organizations to advance Ayurveda through professional development, an evidence-based approach, community outreach, and collaborative partnerships. Our work supports educational standards, ethical practice, and greater public understanding of Ayurveda. We offer membership options for different stages of learning and professional practice. Through our Professional Ayurvedic Continuing Education (PACE) program, educational events, and annual conference, we help members deepen their knowledge and connect with colleagues. Our public directories help people find Ayurvedic professionals, educational organizations, and state associations. We also established the NAMA Certification Board (NAMACB) to develop and administer professional certification examinations and maintain certification standards. Guided by an elected volunteer board, we work to preserve Ayurveda’s traditional foundations while supporting its responsible development in the United States.
The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) is a nonprofit educational organization supporting the practice and profession of hypnotism. Founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1950, we began with a group of hypnotists connected with Dr. Rexford L. North and the Hypnotism Center of Boston. Today, our organization is based in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and serves an international membership. We provide a forum where hypnotists can exchange ideas, develop their knowledge, and connect with colleagues from different backgrounds and approaches. Our educational offerings include hypnosis certification training, continuing education workshops, board certification opportunities, and an annual convention featuring seminars and practical learning. Members stay informed through the Journal of Hypnotism and Hypno-Gram, longstanding publications dedicated to the field. Our local chapters create further opportunities for learning and professional fellowship, while member benefits include event discounts, client referrals, and access to professional liability insurance options for eligible certified members. We also serve as a resource for legal and legislative matters affecting hypnotists. Since our founding, our purpose has been to support professional development, encourage cooperation, and advance understanding of the art, science, and philosophy of hypnotism.
Founded in 1989, the American Herbalists Guild (AHG) is a nonprofit membership organization supporting the practice and profession of clinical herbalism in the United States. We bring together practitioners, educators, students, and herbal enthusiasts who share a commitment to responsible herbal practice and accessible education. Our founders sought to strengthen herbal education and establish standards of clinical competency across diverse herbal traditions. That work led to our Registered Herbalist, RH (AHG), designation, which recognizes practitioners who meet our education and clinical experience criteria through a rigorous peer review process. Today, we support professional development through continuing education, mentorship, webinars, our annual symposium, and the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Herbalists Guild. Our local chapters and professional community give members opportunities to exchange knowledge, build relationships, and develop their practices. For the public, we maintain directories of Registered Herbalists and herb schools to help people explore practitioners and educational options. Our mission centers on ethics, competency, diversity, and freedom of practice. Through advocacy, education, and community, we work to strengthen clinical herbalism as a profession and support access to herbalism for all.
The International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP) is a professional membership organisation for Reiki practitioners and Reiki master teachers. Founded in 1997 and based in Nashua, New Hampshire, USA, IARP supports independent Reiki professionals in more than 50 countries with business tools, education, professional recognition and a published Code of Ethics. IARP offers Associate and Professional membership tiers. Member benefits include a searchable Reiki practitioner directory, access to professional liability insurance for Reiki practitioners in the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK, certificate services, newsletters and educational articles, a job board and use of the IARP member logo. Registered members are recognised for meeting IARP's professional standards of practice and service. For seekers, IARP membership is one signal that a Reiki practitioner has committed to a code of ethics and professional standards. It is not a licence or a clinical credential: Reiki is a complementary practice, and IARP membership does not verify training quality or outcomes. Gyfts lists IARP as a professional body so that Reiki practitioners who reference it can be understood in context. This is an unclaimed listing created by Gyfts from IARP's public website.
