Why a California-specific page

California is the easiest US state to set up a clean biomagnetism wellness practice. SB 577 (passed in 2002) gives non-licensed wellness pros a clear legal lane. You can offer sessions. You just cannot claim to diagnose or treat a medical condition. And you must give every client a written disclosure that you are not a licensed clinician.

The course itself is the same in every state. What is different for a California student is the SB 577 disclosure work, the CAMTC overlap for massage pros, and the tax setup. The block below covers all three.

California rules at a glance

California is one of the few US states with a clear lane for complementary and alternative health work. SB 577 lets you offer wellness services (including biomagnetism) without a medical licence, as long as you do not claim to diagnose or treat a medical condition. You must give clients a written disclosure that you are not a licensed clinician. That disclosure is the core of safe practice in CA.

CEU notes for licensed pros

No California board lists this course for direct CEU credit today. Licensed massage therapists (CAMTC), RNs, and naturopathic doctors have used it for general professional development. Cite it on your CV as a Level I and II course, not as a CEU-approved class.

Tax and 1099 notes

A California sole-prop or LLC can usually deduct the course fee as a business expense on Schedule C or Form 568. CA has state income tax. Course payments are charged in USD; the parent site does not collect CA sales tax on the online course.

Not tax advice. Confirm with your CPA or the state revenue site.

Live-support hours from California

Most live support runs 9am to 6pm ET. California is on PT (UTC-8, UTC-7 in DST), so the support window is 6am to 3pm your local time.

California — short FAQs

Do I need a California licence to practise biomagnetism?

No, not under SB 577. You can offer wellness sessions without a clinical licence. You must give every client the SB 577 disclosure in writing and you must not diagnose or treat a medical condition.

Can I add biomagnetism to my CAMTC massage practice?

Yes. Many California massage therapists use it as a non-massage add-on. Bill it as a separate wellness session, not as part of the massage. Keep the medical-claim line clear.

Is biomagnetism legal in Los Angeles or San Francisco?

Yes, under the SB 577 framework that applies state-wide. Local zoning and business-tax rules still apply. Most cities treat it as a wellness service for licensing purposes.

Can I claim the partner saving as a California student?

Yes. The saving is set by the link, not by the state. Click the partner button. The lower price shows at the official checkout. There is no extra code to type.
