This is appropriate if the applicant N.A.I.C. Member has equivalent or greater education and expertise, history of ministry, knowledge, and indigenous medicine practices than N.A.I.C. currently requires.

The N.A.I.C.-L.C.H.T.

Best alternative for Secular Allied Medical and or Massage Therapy License! The N.A.I.C.- L.C.H.T. Vocational Licentiate-License for Religious Therapeutics is an equivalent or greater alternative to other secular or nonspiritual licensing, such as what some states require for Massage, Massage Therapy, Bodywork, etc. Not only are conventional secular state controlled Massage laws and licensing NOT spiritually based, but there are strict limitations on the scope of practice, which can and do change at any time on a whim or political expediency without notice or approval. If you have the States Massage License, you have already agreed to abide by current future changes and or limitations to your practice not based on your Sacred Beliefs and Convictions beforehand! It is also unethical to agree to the scope of practice defining which you do not believe in nor follow! We believe our traditional Indigenous medicine practices and healing methods brought to us by our elders and spirit are far superior to those controlled by secular authorities and have a fantastic, excellent scope of practice! An ethical scope of practice.

Please note that N.A.I.C. ministerial, pastoral, clerical massage (Chirothesia, Anointing)  and or religious trial, pastoral, clerical hands-on healing is by definition the practice of Chirothesia, i.e., “Laying on of, “hands,” extending divine energy and or anointing the body with sacred medicines as a direct represent “active of the spirit” and in no way refers to the secular practice of “Massage” and or “Massage Therapy” a nonspiritual practice of rubbing the body for money as defined by various state laws. N.A.I.C. Members do not hold “themselves to be practicing Massage and or Massage Therapy or any regulated secular, non-indigenous, non-Native American, non-ecclesiastical, nonchurch authorized practice unless separately licensed to do so.

The renewal fee is due before the expiration to avoid a $75.00 late fee.
