Hi. Im starting out in learning complementary therapies. I feel drawn to cyrstal healing. I use crystals at home and myself, my family and friends have really benefited by using them. So my heart says do a crystal healing course. My only doubt is that I would have thought it real hard to get clients as most people would go out and buy some crystals and a book. Whilst I would love to do the course I do need something that I could at least obtain a part time income form. I know that with any comp. therapies it takes a lot of work to get a clients and I am prepared to do this hard work - but am worried that despite this, there will be no demand for my service.
I can see that people are more likely to be interested in having an indian head massage or massage and am thinking that maybe I should do courses in them instead.
Im really confused and keep changing from wanting to do one thing then another!! Some clarification on the prospects of becoming a crystal healer from those who practice this would be very welcome. Incidentally Im based in Devon.
Many thanks.
RE: Getting clients for crystal healing
Hi Jazz

Strange that you should have put that at the end of your posting...as I was just sitting here thinking 'well alot of it will depend on where you live'
I have been a Crystal therapist for a few years and have to say that I certainly don't make a living out of it...but then I admit to never having really pushed it.
Reading the above ... my thoughts would be that perhaps you could incorporate crystals into another therapy...much like I do...but until you have a certificate to say that you have done a crystal course, you would not be able to call yourself a Crystal Therapist/Healer.
Yes, people do go out and buy both crystals and books ~ nothing wrong with that...but very few of them actually understand what they are doing or why certain issues arise...using crystals as a profession is alot more than that and goes much much deeper...certainly not a subject to be taken lightly.
There are many evening classes out there to help people understand about crystals and maybe, should you decide to study a different therapy then an evening class may be the answer.
Hope that helps in some way
Many blessings
