Even MORE Membership advantages

The CMA website ranks extremely highly among all healthcare sites globally, and thus YOU are much more easily found by potential clients. As well as a proper Membership site, we are a bona fide news site. In fact, we actually add around 4 to 16 new ‘News’ stories to the site every day! 

As you can see The CMA website has the latest news stories from the fields of Natural Healthcare updated throughout the day, each and every day of the year. If you’re interested in what Complementary Medicine and Natural Healthcare can do for you – and your patients / clients, it’s a ‘must visit’ site. Even if you don’t get to visit the site every day, you can be sure that your potential new patients/ clients will. 

A key target for the CMA website is to attract and inform – worldwide – those consumers who are “Hyper Health Focused”. Consumers who are desperate to learn more – and to understand what works and what doesn’t – across the whole field of medicine in both Conventional and Natural Healthcare – so that they can take control of their own health and make well-informed choices.

As a Full CMA Member you will have your own page within this site – where you can add all your practice details – including why you do what you do.

Your details will be highlighted when Health Focused Consumers actively search for a practitioner near them. They will see up to eight of their nearest practitioners (generally – or by therapy). 

As a Full CMA Member you will be featured regularly on The CMA website Home Page as a Top Practitioner on an ongoing basis.

And, if you have any ‘News’ that is relevant to a wider audience of Health Focused Consumers we will feature it – as a News Item on the site.

Our weekly e-Newsletter for practitioners goes to around 400 health journalists and reporters worldwide, including TV / Radio presenters and production companies – as well as around 25,500 practitioners across the globe.

This publication always includes news coverage of the latest research from around the world on effective, proven therapies – and all this ‘latest news’ is backed by up-to-the-minute research data from the world’s leading universities.

As this weekly e-Newsletter starts to attract more Health Focused Consumers – we will start featuring “Top Practitioners” in this online publication as well. So, please start to think about what you’d like to contribute – do you have news, research, an event, or something else? All we ask is that your article is newsworthy –  (and not ‘advertorial masquerading as a news piece!).

We also feature a helpful list of our CMA Approved Suppliers in each edition, with links to their pages on The CMA site so that they can be easily found. These are companies that offer the very best products and services within our profession and who have satisfied The CMA as to their deep commitment to excellence.

The CMA is run by practitioners for practitioners, students, training schools, and Approved Suppliers.  

We have regular online business development MasterClasses, and we are happy to give our Members guidance when faced with business development issues. We are passionate about helping you to become as successful as you can possibly be.

As a Registered Full CMA Member (MCMA) you will always get special Membership benefits and discounts – unavailable to non-members!

As a CMA Member you will save hundreds of pounds on Jayney Goddard’s online Business and Practice Development MasterClasses.

These include modules from the highly successful and Proven-to-Work courses: Developing Your Professional Practice Profitably Even in a Recession, Successfully Identifying Your “Perfect” Client, Developing Advertising That Works…

And more!

The Complementary Medical Association was founded back in 1993.

It has always offered its Members a number of key, underlying benefits.

  • A CMA (A4) Certificate of Membership – to frame and display on the wall of your Practice. 
  • Access to Top Class, Low Cost, Professional Indemnity Insurance

Members of The Complementary Medical Association have always benefited from the prestige of belonging to The Complementary Medical Association. CMA Members are recognised by other professional practitioners, as well as by doctors – and increasingly by the general public – as the elite force in professional, ethical Complementary Medicine:

If you are a professionally qualified Complementary Medical and Natural Healthcare practitioner, we would welcome YOUR support in helping us to represent You and Your Therapy’s successes to a wider audience. As well as fighting off attacks on our profession – from whatever source – we also seek to actively and publicly promote the positive, successful face of Complementary Medicine and Natural Healthcare – as practiced by some of the top professional practitioners in the world.

So, while you might not see it as Your No.1 benefit – and reason for joining The CMA – we see the top benefit of joining The CMA as being able to join together with other totally committed professional Complementary Medical and Natural Healthcare practitioners in one focused, powerful body.

Benefit from The Prestige of Belonging to The Complementary Medical Association

The Complementary Medical Association is the world’s leading multi-disciplinary Membership organisation for top, fully qualified practitioners. Practitioners who are serious about their ‘business’, and who are brilliant at treating clients to ensure they help them achieve their optimal health. Practitioners who are suitably concerned about public attacks on them and their profession. Practitioners who demand that someone is out there spreading the word about how their own kind of successful, well-delivererd complementary healthcare is for all of us.

That’s why they belong to The Complementary Medical Association.

We only accept practitioners who can prove their excellence as practitioners – as Full Members of The CMA.

If you are fully trained – at a CMA Approved College – or one that we can verify has an excellent  curriculum and professional examination procedures – AND are actively looking to build your career in Complementary Medicine and Natural Healthcare – and can prove you are 100% qualified – you can apply.

In the UK we have links with Conventional Medicine – and with their leading regulatory and professional bodies – the British Medical Association (BMA) and the General Medical Council (GMC).

Our Members are fully qualified, professional practitioners – who abide by the most exacting of Ethical Standards.

If you fit this description join us right now!

Demonstrate your commitment to excellence - and get the professional respect and recognition you deserve.

McQueen Health Clinic
As a new member, I have to say I love the CMA, as everyone is so helpful and supportive. Welcome pack was the best I have received, and the information available is invaluable. So glad I joined, worth every penny!
Allison McQueen--Luzar
There are so many organisations representing complementary health therapies and therapists, but how many have the integrity of the CMA ? Remember lockdown ? CMA spoke out in favour of therapists being able to work and in fact changed the law to protect those within the industry and just as importantly those who depend on regular sessions that help keep them well on so many levels. A great organisation driven by the desire to keep the industry professional, conscientious and effective by keeping standards high. When you see their logo attached to a website or course, you are looking at one of the best-established flagships representing natural health therapies in the UK.

As a Fellow of the CMA I have found a greater acceptance of comments and opinion when referring people to medical professionals.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the amazing team at the CMA. These business development assets are absolutely brilliant and will really enhance the package that we offer our students. Many thanks again and warm wishes to all
Amanda Winwood
During lockdown, I found the CMA drop in sessions useful and supportive. When everyone else seemed to go underground, the CMA kept in touch with its members for free.
Tracy Ferriss
"As a psychotherapist in Toronto, I enjoy providing others with relational safety and connection. Infinitely grateful for the CMA for it has played this role for me with its valuable newsletter and supportive resources and community."
Naomi De Gasperis
Fantastic organisation! The very best of the best! They really look after their members and provide so much support to complementary medical and natural health therapists. They went above and beyond to support us therapists throughout lockdown - and got us back to work thank you to The CMA!

We have received invaluable support as a small organic brand from CMA. Our brand promotes healthy living through our organic plant based product and being part of this renowned world class organisation has been vital for our growth. We look forward to networking, collaborating and continuing to grow with the support of the CMA and our membership. We would highly recommend professionals and brands aligned to complementary medicine and healthy living to join the CMA.

As a Fellow of the Complementary Medical Organisation, I am continually impressed with their quality of service and customer care. I have never encountered such a high level of passion and dedication to nurturing, guiding and educating their members. The CMA is a world class organisation which expertly represents evidence based research and clinical practice of the highest standard in the field of natural and complementary medicine. The CMA Advanced Certified Professional courses are superb. I am looking forward to embarking on the Integrative Oncology course shortly. I am very proud to be a member of such a visionary organisation. Highly recommended! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

The steadfastness and professional standing of the CMA has been a wonderful support to the work I do as a professional in my field. The offering of various courses allowing further education and understanding is invaluable. So too, the recognition through the logo of CMA worldwide provides the opportunity to be of value to humanity, and for that I am most grateful.
