Liability Insurance

A current liability insurance policy with Innersource listed as an Additional Insured Endorsement (AIE) is required for maintaining a practitioner listing on the Eden Energy Medicine Certified Practitioner Directory. The AIE is a standard practice and generally does not cost extra on the policy.

When you list Innersource as an Additional Insured Endorsement, please use:

Innersource/Eden Energy Medicine
777 East Main Street
Ashland, OR 97520
(541) 488-7662
[email protected]

If you are a practitioner looking to be listed on the Innersource website and are operating in a country outside the USA, obtaining AIE or even insurance at all, may be something you are unable to do. If this is the case, please contact Innersource to discuss what you have found out about insurance in your location. Not having the AIE coverage for Innersource, if you are practicing internationally, may not prevent you from being listed.

You are free to choose your insurance carrier.

Some EEM Certified Practitioners already have liability insurance tied to a professional license. In that case you only need to be certain that it also covers your EEM activities and set up the AIE.

For those who do not have professional liability insurance, we have done some research and mapped out the following suggestions, any of which satisfies our requirements. For more details go to the websites that are listed.

Insurance Through A Massage Organization

In general, when working with massage insurance carriers, you will notice on their websites that the requirements discuss whether your state regulates massage and body work. If the only modality you use in your practice is energy medicine, this may not apply to you. If you are using another modality in addition to EEM or massage or another energy healing approach, you may need a specific type of policy that covers your additional modality. Some states do not regulate the practice of energy work, and we encourage you to contact your state profession's bureau to find out more. If your state does not regulate energy work, you will be asked to sign a form which specifies that you are being insured in only a single modality. On this form you want to list "energy healing" or "Energy Medicine" if that is an option.

You should be able to get all the other information you need from the below websites or the very friendly staff each of these companies possess via telephone. Beyond the insurance, we believe you will find these insurance carriers to be valuable organizations with which to be associated. And please be sure to list Innersource as an AIE.

Insurance Through An Energy Medicine (EM) Organization

There can be advantages to obtaining your Liability Insurance through an EM Organization. One is that you can list ALL the Energy Medicine modalities you practice as long as they meet the training guidelines of that organization. Another advantage is that you will be supporting the profession of Energy Medicine as a unique practice by raising the visibility and stature of EM practitioners.

When applying for Professional Liability Insurance with EMPI (see below), you are expected to comply with the local, county and state regulations that determine the necessary requirements to practice your profession legally.
