Is Earning a Living Through Alternative Holistic Healing Therapies Achievable? part 1 

In an Act of Absolute Desperation Ever Look to the Stars and Scream – “Is Earning a Living Through Alternative Healing Therapies Achievable!”

 It’s not your fault…

Alternative healing therapies have been around for 1000s of years ~ in the Middle East for over 5000 years, Ayurvedic medicine for over 4000 years

Millions of individuals have trained in a vast range of alternative healing therapies.

Yet the disappointing reality is that many alternative healing therapy businesses fail within their first 12 months! Of those who do make it beyond a year very few make a successful living…

Where Did the Holistic Healing Dream Fade & The Harsh Reality Become Real?

Just like the talented individual reading this now, these professionals were incredibly passionate about what they had to offer, they had the right attitude towards their clients, they were attentive, caring, committed to delivering the very best…..

You created the ambience, the relaxing music, the aromas, the warm, inviting surroundings…… the wonderful feeling of being nurtured …….

You as a therapist / healer / practitioner are devoted ~ you give an excellent service, found it rewarding on a personal level, the clients thoroughly enjoyed their experience……..

Sound Familiar to You?

So your professional holistic healing training went that extra mile delivering the most amazing treatments, the client felt loved and valued ……..a win/win situation you would think…

It’s dumbfounding – the Majority of Professionals have many holistic healing qualifications yet still do not succeed!

You will have invested 100s if not 1000s in your training, attended all the current holistic healing workshops and courses to keep up-to-date, paid additional amounts for assessments and examinations, uniforms, equipment…….even invested in holistic healing stuff you never knew you needed because of the sheer excitement of it all!

And the dream of healing people is exciting! Newly qualified, your friends and family have benefitted from all those deeply relaxing practice sessions, they have praised your virtues……

Words alone can not express the potential you hold in the palm of your hand, the world lies before you, you are empowered and excited…..this is the dream……. but where lies the reality?

You have been passionate to start your Alternative Therapy Business ~ Then What?

Your enthusiasm, expertise, equipment ~ all new and sparkling!… You have your first few paying clients, this is an achievement in itself, you have already done well to have got to this stage!

Paying Clients ~ The Thrill of a holistic healing dream coming into reality!

Life just does not get better than this! You are doing what you are passionate about, your handful of new clients are delighted and on top of this, they are actually paying you for what you enjoy doing! On some levels it appears too good to be true, you take a reality check, no ~ it’s real!

Time moves on, some clients rebook but not as many as you may like… You figure if they wish to book another appointment they will ask you – right? You know they enjoyed it, they are so complimentary but they haven’t asked to rebook?… You think it strange but you continue doing what you love…..

You are now proudly The Best Professional out there Yet No-one Knows You exist….

You can be the very best teacher, healer, therapist, practitioner… and feel justifiably proud…

However, the reality is you can be the best…. and still no-one knows you exist ~

Where did the Formula go Wrong?……..

Training establishments, colleges, schools, professional courses teach you your skills….the practical hands-on holistic healing profession that you are so enthusiastic about…..

The reality is they don’t teach you about holistic healing business development….

Without any business sense in how to market yourself, advise the world you actually exist and that you are excellent at what you do…

You will never succeed with your current holistic healing business plan ~

“Do I deserve to Earn a Living from Alternative Holistic Healing  Therapies?” You find yourself asking .

Many professionals struggle with this….. by their very nature they are caring, loving individuals who just adore being in a position to give…. The more you give the better it feels, clients adore it, you feel valued and all is well……is it not?

The Art of Fair Exchange

Those of you who work with a form of energy ~ Reiki, qi gong, healing, yoga, tai chi will know all about exchanging holistic healing energies?……

We are taught that energy comes in many different forms ~ financial transactions the most obvious for a business, but then there are the considerate acts, the thoughtful gifts, bartering….. All of these work to some degree, however one clue is in the phrase ‘fair exchange’……..

When running a business your outgoings are financial ~ fact!… Therefore the fair exchange needs to be a financial transaction ~ the taxman will not accept a ginger cake as payment as inviting as this may seem!

It sounds obvious yet so many professionals in the alternative world struggle with this concept of fair exchange……

On some level they know they need to charge their true worth, more often than not however the reality is they feel guilty accepting money for something they enjoy doing!

In some instances they feel they should be giving even more, discounting prices, special offers even when they don’t need to ~ such is their need to give and feel valued…..

Who Values the Holistic Healing Professional?

So the your handful of clients are valuing what you do and are delighted. You acknowledge you are doing a great job on many levels yet you still feel you should be giving more…..

When does this stop?

The fact is that people will take as much as you are willing to give……without boundaries they will continue to take until you feel drained or become resentful….

Neither of these qualities will serve you in your business.

It is imperative therefore that you set some boundaries….not only do boundaries allow others to respect us but more importantly they allow us to respect ourselves. A fundamental quality of being a holistic healing professional is confidence. It is difficult to be confident when you are constantly undercutting yourself and giving too much for no reason…

You Deserve to Earn A Great Living at What You Do -

This is the reality not the dream…

It is possible and you simply have to allow yourself to succeed. You will need to gain knowledge in business areas to enhance what you do, to feel comfortable advising clients what is in their best interests and what they need…

And the great news is – your clients want to be guided, they respect you as the professional holistic healer and want you to take them by the hand and lead them…they want to be nurtured.

They look to you for the answers and want to know they are in safe hands. They already trust you…

You now need to trust yourself and your own impeccable intuition…

This is where the Exciting Adventure as a holistic healer begins….

You can do this….

You just need to gain the Holistic Healing Business know how to add to your existing, amazing holistic healing Skills…

The once distant dream is now the reality and it starts here ~
