The Professional Wellness Alliance (PWA) is an organization with more than 20+ years of experience helping practitioners offer their services legally through licensure. We were founded by holistic professionals just like you who are committed to supporting alternative health concepts and practitioners. **[Our Mission](https://www.pwai.us/join-the-movement)** **[Our History](https://www.pwai.us/pwa-history)** - #### Who can join the PWA? We offer a comprehensive License Program for holistic health practitioners who qualify. To see if your services qualify, fill out this simple form [**here**](https://start.pwai.us/pwa-short-application). - #### What is a holistic license? Quite simply, a holistic license (**[like the one offered by the PWA](https://www.pwai.us/about-licensure)**) gives you a solid legal basis to provide your services in a safe, legal environment. As a licensed PWA team member, you can operate your business legally and worry-free — no matter which state you’re from, or what area(s) of holistic health you specialize in. **[Learn more](https://www.pwai.us/about-licensure)** about what licensure is and how it affects holistic health practitioners. - #### What is a "defendable legal basis"? This is a question we hear a lot from practitioners. Essentially, a defendable legal basis helps protect your business from state regulatory board concerns. It provides you with a safe, legal environment to provide your holistic services, worry-free. Being a licensed member of the [**PWA Community**](https://www.pwai.us/license-benefits) provides you with a solid, defendable legal basis for all of your holistic services. [**Learn More**](https://www.pwai.us/license-benefits) - #### How do I know if my services are at-risk? The reality is that if you don’t have a solid legal basis to defend your holistic services, then you run a high risk of legal troubles. **[Take our free, short quiz](https://start.pwai.us/holistic-quiz)** to see if your business is protected. [**Watch this webinar**](https://start.pwai.us/webinar) to learn more about what a licensure is and why it's important to holistic health practitioners. - #### What is the cost of licensure?
