Our Founding Story
The International Board of Health was born out of a shared frustration: holistic practitioners were largely siloed. Acupuncturists, nutritionists, and herbalists all faced similar business hurdles, regulatory challenges, and marketing struggles, yet had no unified body to lean on.
A small coalition of dedicated practitioners came together to create a central hub—a place where professional development, advocacy, and genuine connection could flourish. Today, IBOH is rapidly growing into the premier membership organization for our industry.
