History: Although little known in Australia, Polarity Therapy is a comprehensive wellness system that is steadily gaining well-earned recognition in many countries.

In Australia, Polarity Therapy has had a sporadic history. For example, in the 1980s, a Polarity Practitioner from the USA moved to Australia, in the wake of the contentious collapse of a Polarity community in California, and began to offer sessions and training to Australians. More recently, a dedicated Australian practitioner in South Australia has been providing training. Some years ago, a British practitioner also began providing some Polarity Therapy training, predominantly by distance learning. Two people who did that training have been offering Polarity Therapy classes in NSW since about 2007. Also since about 2007, another American has also been coming to Australia to offer Polarity Therapy Practitioner training in Sydney.

Commitment to Australia: Reflecting the founder's Australian origins, the Institute is committed to providing consistent follow-through in the training of Polarity Practitioners and Therapists in Australia, and the development of public awareness of Polarity Therapy in Australia. Ranna is firmly committed to the development of Polarity Therapy as a distinct therapeutic method in its own right in Australia (and gobally) rather than dilution of Polarity Therapy as part of other modalities.

Professional Eligibility: Students and practitioners training at ETI can join the professional organization serving the Australian alternative health community: the International Institute of Complementary Therapies - IICT, which also provides practitioner liability insurance - including student insurance. IICT Australia provides a network of supportive and helpful practitioners in Australia.
