SWA SEAL OF APPROVAL….

When a vendor brings a product to the market place with focus on quality first and profit second they should be acknowledged by the industry.

SWA will give them the recognition they deserve by presenting the SWA SEAL OF APPROVAL and all accompanying promotional materials for media coverage.

There are stone suppliers who think any old rock will do and are misleading innocent practitioners with reduced prices and volume selling. One way to support the professional vendor and assist the therapist in choosing professional products is through education. SWA will use marketing and promotional resources to educate the buyer of stones, equipment, supplies and materials about the professional quality necessary to offer safe and effective Geothermal Therapy.

These buyers of Geothermal Therapy products will soon search for the 'SWA SEAL OF APPROVAL' to assure them they have found a trust worthy vendor who offers quality merchandise.

With acceptance and the SWA SEAL OF APPROVAL comes total access to the entire membership.

Geothermal Therapists from around the world are joining this association daily.
