"Spontaneous class discussion highlighted a real lack in the information available to the healing practitioners who were beginning their professional practices."

Professional Practive for the Energy Healing by Melinda H. Connor, D.D, Ph.D., AMP Lulu
book review by L.A. Webb
Energy healing students have plenty of options when it comes to learning about energy healing practice techniques. However, there was a huge void when it came to finding information about setting up an actual professional practice. That is, until now. Connor has created the definitive encyclopedia for those looking to begin their own energy healing practice.
Practioners will learn the key elements to consider when choosing a healing space. It's not just about finding a prime location to attract clients and referrals. Air flow, lighting, sound travel, and the amount of serenity play a key role in the selection process too. Your healing space in part defines what you can do as a practitioner.
Advice is provided on how to setup and price client sessions, when to seek supervision, and how to advertise services. Connor shares sample forms practitioners may consider using in their own practice and tips on record keeping. The importance of self care is highlighted with 10 steps every practitioner should take to stay disciplined. Although there are no international or national ethical standards for energy healers, Connor has developed a series of key principles energy healing practitioners should consider adhering to.
The book does not just read as a how-to or instruction manual. Connor's extensive experience, both teaching and practicing energy healing, provides invaluable insights. She shares experiences that may be encountered in practice and solutions to deal with delicate situations. Her respect and admiration for the profession shines through, making it a must read for those practicing energy healing.
