Approved Modalities
  • Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
    Founded by Gary Craig in the 1990's, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) draw on various alternative medicine practices including acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming and energy medicine. Treatment involves two-finger tapping on acupuncture points while using acceptance statement(s) to anchor the transformative intent. Depending on the EFT practitioner's level of training and scope of practice, it can be employed to address diverse physical and psychological conditions, including phobias, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and pain.
  • Reiki III (Master)
    Reiki is a hands-on energy healing method developed by Mikao Usui in 1922. What sets it apart is the attunements passed from Teacher/Master to student, opening up their energy fields. Reiki involves transferring universal life force energy from practitioner to client, with hands placed on or above specific body locations. Symbols are used with different intentions, visualized or drawn. Reiki can be done in person or through distant healing, lasting 60-90 minutes. It aids in pain relief, healing, relaxation, and balancing chakras and aura energy. Clients remain clothed on a massage table during sessions. For IICT purposes, a Reiki Master is someone who is qualified to teach and attune others to Reiki.
  • Somatic Education
    Somatic educators teach people about the connection between the mind, body and movement, focusing on things like somatic processes, body intelligence and awareness, and shadow work. Somatic educators may be trained in various topics such as somatic psychology, nervous system health, somatic therapeutic dance and guided movement, mindfulness and meditation, menstrual cycle awareness, sexual sovereignty, feminine/masculine spirituality, trauma-informed facilitation, embodied leadership, patriarchy, and decolonization. Somatic educators are not trained therapists and must refer clients to qualified healthcare professionals when necessary.
