The CHF came into being as a result of the 3 founder member schools working in close co-operation by pulling their many resources and unique individual specialities. In so doing they found that they were able to greatly enhance what had previously been achieved. CHF is now working as part of the CMA initiative to help establish self regulation of Crystal Therapy and national occupational standards.

The CHF is a member of the British Crystal Healers (BCH) and the Complementary Medical Association (CMA)

All CHF schools are required to adhere to the minimum (2 years of training) standards in their fields. The Bach Flower Diploma is only available for qualified Crystal and Energy healers who have undergone 2 years of training. All tutors are qualified healers, with practical experience in their field and a teaching qualification

Many CHF practitioners also offer therapy treatments to commercial and health care organizations. All consultations and treatments are private and remain confidential. It is mandatory for all practicing healers to hold personal indemnity insurance and to adhere to the CHF code of conduct. They are also required to maintain continued professional development
