The benefits of Membership
There are many benefits of joining the NFSH in New Zealand. If you would like to do so, please click and print out our Membership Application Form. The Membership Subscription is only $60 p.a. for Friends and Associates and $70 p.a. for Healers. Senior citizens get a $10 discount.
- You will be joining a principal Spiritual Healing Organisation. Although the NFSH (NZ) Inc. is New Zealand based, it is an international organisation with members currently in NZ, UK, Europe, Australia, Thailand and Singapore. The NFSH is affiliated to the NFSH (UK) The Healing Trust and the NHPNZ (Natural Health Practitioners of NZ).
- Our holistically-based training course enables you to understand and maintain high professional standard of healing work. You gain public credibility for your healing work through the training given under the 4-part NFSH (UK) Healer Training Course – structured in unit standards. The course carries international accreditation and certification from both UK and NZ.
