The Alliance for Complementary Therapists

an associated group of BGi.uk

The Alliance for Complementary Therapists (ACT) was developed by David and Charlena Crawford. Charlena, having managed complementary health clinics for 20 years and a practitioner herself for 10 years, and David, having specialized his IT and marketing work to better service the therapists’ needs decided to embark on the creation of an association that meets the needs of all therapists.

ACT is internationally recognised and membership can be obtained upon completion of an approved training program. Although continuing education credits are not mandatory, it is highly recommended and encouraged that you keep current in your field of practice.

ACT recognises how each therapist’s needs can be different and pride ourselves in offering a basic membership with enhancements which the individual therapist can add onto their memberships. Making each membership different based on the needs of that therapist
