Iridology
What Iridology Can Do For You?
More people are aware about how powerful the eyes are through biometrics (a way to uniquely identify you). Just like you have a fingerprint that will never change, there are structural components to your eyes that will never change and that is the part that is starting to be used for identification purposes.
With Iridology you can see your unique genetic fingerprint and how that can relate to what is going on in the body, and even what is going on in you on thought level (personality characteristics). Your eyes reveal areas genetically that are potentially strong/resilient or not very resilient. The colors and iris signs also mean something very specific that gives clues as to what is happening within you. Why I use this tool is because it points to the underlying root causes that create issues within the body. It does not diagnose disease...it identifies the potential areas of stress, toxic overload, not enough nutrition, and mental/emotional stress.
When someone has an initial consultation with me I would use a gentle light and magnifying glass to look into your eyes to help you learn more about you! It is an honor for me to look into your eyes and it is my only intent to help you and educate you so that you can make the best decisions possible with your health and your life.
I will communicate to you the top 3 things that stand out to me based on what I know and have experienced in looking at hundreds and hundreds of people's eyes. Most people are amazed at how accurate it is in varifying things that they felt deep down, but never had anyone communicate to them before. It also gives reason as to why symptoms have shown up in the body thereby eliminating fear, and what can be done about it.
If you are interested in having a full Iridology assessment (about 1 1/2 hours) let me know and I will set up my camera at the next appointment, take a picture of your eyes, and we will talk about them as you see them on the computer screen.
There is a lot to understand about the body and Iridology is very valuable in giving insights about you in a very quick and easy fashion. I then use Energy Reflex Testing (ERT) that usually further confirms what was found in the eye. We determine the foods that are right for your body, the Super Foods and supplements necessary, and address how to reduct stress through thoughts, emotions, and changing beliefs (more on all this as you research my website).
What Iridology does not do?
Our current health system is focussed on finding a "term" or a "disease" state for a condition to you may have. They diagnose you according to their methods and practice. The process is then to cut something out or to give you drugs in many cases.
Iridology is not about this at all. Iridology does not diagnose a disease. Iridology does not involve any cutting or drugging. If this is what you want you are on the wrong website. Only medical doctors are allowed to diagnose you and then give the prescription. In fact, if you do have a consultation with me I encourage you to work with your Doctor on anything I recommend. You have to feel good about the choices you make. You are the one ultimately in control and must take responsibility for your health.
Again, I do not cure, treat, or mitigate disease. Always go to your medical Doctor.
How Else Is Iridology Useful and Helpful?
Many people feel relief after experiencing Iridology because it seems to clearly point to the reasons why issues are showing up in the body that noone has found before.
Some people are amazed that I could know so much about them, what their personality traits, and symptoms they could feel based on the signs I see in the iris.
For a select few who go deeply into this...the eye really is a "Window into the Soul." It communicates what you have yet to own emotionally and how to get your power back. Remember, everything about you is unique. Your fingerprint tells you that, and certainly your eyes communicate that. The question is "Why do your eyes have the colors, markings, and structures that they do?" And "What does it tell us about you?"
How marvelous, eh!
What Can I expect ?
You can expect to be treated with dignity and kindness. I am here for you to understand more about you, your body, your brain, your mind, your thoughts, and emotions. There is a lot to be said, but initially I will only communicate with what is most important for you to get the results you want.
I am a Certified Comprehensive Iridologist and Instructor (CCII) through the International Iridology Practitioners Association! Here is the link to understand more about the organization.

4 STeps To Becoming an IIPA Certified Iridologist?
1) Attend the Level I and II Certification Course
The in classroom iridology course consists of 5 days of life changing information on the eyes for your own personal journey or to continue to become a Certified Comprehensive Iridologist (CCI).
At the time of the course you will need to determine from two options what your professional membership level will be with IIPA: Associate Membership or Certified Membership. The Associate Membership ($49 USD per year) is primarily for those who are interested in Iridology or students of Iridology, but have not yet completed all the required to become an Iridologist. The Certified Membership ($99 USD per year) is primarily for those who have completed the requirements and have become an IIPA Certified Iridologist. It makes the most sense as a student to pay for the Associate Membership...the $49 must be paid at the time of the Level I and II class to IIPA.
****As of 2011, I, as your Iridology instructor will pay for the inital $49 Associate Membership...once you are a Certified Comprehensive Iridologist you will pay $50 US for the one year Certified Membership.
2) Complete the Anatomy and Physiology Course
An anatomy and physiology course is required to be certified as an IIPA Certified Iridologist. However, the Level I and II Iridology courses as well as IIPA's complete testing procedure can take place before an anatomy and physiology class is completed. We have found that it doesn't have to be taken before the course. After you have completed the anatomy and physiology requirement, the certification candidate must submit a transcript of a completed course, a copy of a diploma or of an acceptable accredited degree, or a copy of an appropriate professional license before receiving the IIPA Certification Certificate. Course work should be college-level and designed to provide a deeper understanding of human anatomy (structure) and physiology (function).
Option No. 1: students may take this course from a university, community college, acupuncture school, massage school, etc. Minimum requirement is 60 hours of actual study.
Option No. 2: if a local school is not available, We accept Anatomy & Physiology distance learning from several distance schools. If you have any questions about the anatomy and physiology requirement or about courses you are considering, please contact me if your course meets the IIPA requirement.
3) Complete the 10 Iris Evaluations
In class, you will learn how to complete an iris evaluation on someone. Part of the requirement to become a Certified Iridologist is that you complete 10 iris evaluations and give them back to your instructor for review and marking. These can be completed during the course or you can mail them back to your instructor in a reasonable amount of time (discuss this with your instructor).
4) Complete the Case Study Analysis and Write the Final Exam
Exam Fee: $175 USD to be paid directly to your Instructor.
A Case Study, which includes a color picture of a set of eyes and a brief health history of that individual, will be sent for you to complete a detailed Iridology analysis. Upon completion you will send it back to me, as your instructor, for marking. The Case Study will be sent only after the $175 USD has been paid.
You will then be ready for the final Written Proctored Exam! The final exam will be mailed to a Proctor (Notary Public for example) or librarian of your choice, and set up a time to write the exam based on your schedules. The proctor will mail the exam back to your IIPA for grading. You will be notified as to the results of the exam by email.
***Upon the sucessful completion of the IIPA certification courses, the 10 iris evaluations, the case study analysis, and the IIPA proctored Exam, and submission of A & P requirement, you, as the student, will qualify to become certified by the International Iridology Practitioners Association (IIPA).

Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions?
What is Iridology? Why should I take the time to learn it?
Iridology is the study of the iris, or colored part, of the eye. This structure has detailed fibers and pigmentation that reflects information about our physical and psychological makeup. It identifies inherited dispositions (how our body reacts to our environment and what symptoms to expect), and future challenges (where we are likely to have more problems as we age). It also helps identify inherited emotional patterns, which can create or maintain physical symptoms, as well as identify lessons or challenges and gifts or talents available to us.
I have learned Iridology from another source. Why should I learn from IIPA?
Over the years, Iridologists with different backgrounds and training have developed different terminology and interpretations of iris signs. This has led to much confusion between Iridologists around the world. Our educational program presents the best of this material so you can practice Iridology in an accurate, concise and standardized manner. This allows us to communicate information better with one another and it allows you to better serve your clients.
What is Comprehensive IridologySM?
IIPA teaches the synthesis of the best European, American, and other worldwide teachings. This information is rationally oriented, clinically tested, and presented in an extremely easy-to-learn manner. It is continually being updated as credible information becomes available. It makes understanding the iris information easier for the practitioner and makes the information itself more useful for the client.
How do I become an Iridologist?
Study Iridology! There are several ways to accomplish this. Live classes provide direct instruction with the ability to have guided supervision and questions answered to insure you understand the material. Lecture videotapes, correspondence programs, CD-Roms, and books are also available from various sources.
Why become certified by IIPA?
Iridology has no official standards of practice, anyone can call themselves an Iridologist, often with little training or experience. There are also great differences in the Iridology information being taught throughout the world. Certification from IIPA identifies you as having attained a standardized level of education excellence. This status sets you apart, clients can feel confident in choosing you, knowing you have received high quality education and meaningful certification requirements.
What are the Certification requirements?
Comprehensive Iridology Level I, Level II classes, IIPA approved Anatomy and Physiology education, and successful completion of the IIPA Examination are required for certification. IIPA ha sa Certification Comprehensive Iridology Program page available describing the details of this program. A list of the IIPA approved Anatomy and Physiology Institutions and correspondence courses are provided on the website if needed.
How did this get started?
While eyes have been a focus in civilizations throughout the ages, “modern” Iridology got its start just over 100 years ago. In the late 1800’s, a physician from Hungary and another from Sweden began observing eyes and organizing their findings. This process of observation and correlating has been slow, but it established a foundation for others to build on. The first book on Iridology in America, by an emigrated Austrian physician, was printed in 1904. This was followed by the works of N.D.s and other naturopathic oriented M.D.s.
Is Iridology a legally recognized practice?
Iridology operates in a gray area in North America. In general, there are no laws defining or regulating the practice. In Europe (especially Germany) it is more recognized and routinely used by natural medicine practitioners. It is important to understand that Iridology is an assessment tool, not a therapy. Using it improperly by naming disease states, diagnosing disease, etc. is inappropriate because it can be construed as practicing medicine without a license, and it is not correctly applying the information provided by the iris. Therefore, it is critically important that iridologists be well- educated in Iridology and practice in an appropriate manner.
What is IIPA?
IIPA is an organization to support Iridology practiced in a professional manner and to educate the public about its benefits. The organization has been in existence since 1982, has attained non-profit status, and has expanded to have a Board of Directors. IIPA has Certified Instructors, practitioners, and students in the United States and abroad.
Why should I become a member?
Membership in IIPA puts you in the company of like-minded Iridologists who want to see Iridology grow and prosper. Your membership includes the IIPA Newsletter, which keeps you informed about what is happening in the world of Iridology, decisions of the governing board and various committees, accomplishments in the field, and calendar of classes and events. This is sent exclusively to IIPA members. You will also receive a Membership Certificate annually upon renewal.
Are you affiliated with any company or therapeutic practice?
IIPA is an independent professional organization. We do not promote any particular line of products or method of treatment, and are not associated with any company.
How do I find a Certified Iridologist in my area?
The IIPA website and the Central Office maintains a list of IIPA Certified Iridologists and will provide names of those Iridologists in your area who wish to receive referrals.
