Since 1994, Heartwood has been dedicated to advancing body-centered therapies and movement education. Today, our national registry validates clinical qualifications to connect patients with verified mind-body specialists.
The Heartwood Somatic & Therapeutic Registry establishes standardized verification protocols for somatic practitioners and clinical yoga therapists nationwide. We bridge integrative medicine and patient care by maintaining a transparent, peer-reviewed index of credentialed specialists. Our mission is to ensure equitable access to qualified mind-body care rooted in clinical safety and empirical practice.
Our editorial and verification board independently audits every practitioner submission against national certification standards including C-IAYT, USABP, and state therapeutic licensing boards. Profiles undergo biannual re-verification of liability coverage and active clinical credentials.
Practitioners listed in the Heartwood Registry are evaluated across four primary domains: accredited instructional hours, supervised clinical experience, active professional insurance, and compliance with trauma-informed practice guidelines.
Our rigorous multi-step auditing process ensures that all listed practitioners possess active certification from recognized governing bodies such as the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) or licensed state somatic therapy boards. We verify post-graduate supervised clinical hours and require mandatory annual continuing education in neuro-somatic care.
All educational guides and clinical taxonomies are authored and reviewed by licensed somatic therapists, physical therapists, and certified yoga therapists. The editorial board conducts quarterly literature reviews to ensure alignment with contemporary integrative medicine standards.
While rooted in our legacy footprint in the Southeast region, the registry covers verified practitioners, integrative health clinics, and specialized workshops across all fifty U.S. states and select international centers.
