Directory Designations

Individuals listed as Certified NAIO™ Practitioners have successfully completed the full NAIO™ International Practitioner Training Program and met all certification, ethical, and professional requirements.

Those listed as NAIO™ Practitioners-in-Training are currently in the process of completing the NAIO™ Practitioner Certification Path and have not yet fulfilled all program requirements.

While NAIO™ International authorizes the use of these designations and provides official Practitioner Registry Listings, such listings do not constitute a personal endorsement or recommendation of any individual practitioner.

A listing on the NAIO™ Practitioner Registry indicates that the practitioner or facilitator has completed an official NAIO™ training program administered by NAIO™ International (administered by and a division of Dione Endeavours LLC) under license from Prue Jeffries, trademark and copyright owner.

Membership, Re-Certification, and Directory Policy

Membership and Renewal

The NAIO™ Practitioner Registry Membership and Certification Registration are valid for two years from the date of certification or renewal.

Both must be renewed on the same schedule to maintain active status and continued authorization to use the Certified NAIO™ Practitioner designation.

Practitioners will receive renewal reminders prior to their renewal date.

Failure to renew both membership and certification by the renewal deadline will result in automatic suspension of the practitioner’s registry listing and temporary loss of authorization to use the NAIO™ name or process professionally.

Once renewal requirements are met and all fees are paid, the practitioner’s listing will be reactivated. Membership fees are non-refundable and are not considered charitable donations. However, self-employed practitioners may be able to claim membership dues as a business expense.

Profiles will not be made active until payment is received. Upon expiration, profiles are automatically removed from the Directory but remain available for reactivation once dues and renewal documentation are submitted.

NAIO™ International reserves the right to revoke membership at any time for breaches of the Trademark and Ethical Use Agreement, Code of Ethics, or Standards of Practice.

Re-Certification Requirements

Certified NAIO™ Practitioners are required to complete re-certification every two years prior to their renewal date.

Re-certification requirements include:

  1. Twenty hours of continuing education, which may include therapy, somatic education, or approved movement practices.
  2. Attendance at one NAIO™ Advanced Workshop.
  3. Attendance at one NAIO™ Practitioner Gathering.
  4. Ten hours of NAIO™ sessions or salon work directly with the Licensor or an approved Educator.


Proof of completion must be provided to NAIO™ International no later than seven calendar days before the renewal date.

For example, if the renewal date is August 15, 2027, all re-certification requirements must be completed and submitted by August 8, 2027.

Acceptable proofs of completion include:

  • Certificates or signed verification letters from course providers or educators.
  • Receipts or documentation showing participation in approved workshops.
  • Session logs verified by the Licensor or supervising Educator.
