What you can do yourself

You can try slow breathing, quiet time or a walk. Energy healing is not medical care, so keep seeing your doctor for health concerns.

Licenses and permits

No license is usually required to offer this kind of practice. Ask about training, how long they have practiced and any certification with how to verify it with the issuer, and ask for a client reference. Practitioners should not diagnose or claim to treat conditions.

Energy healing questions

Is energy healing medical care?

No. It is a complementary practice.

Can I expect specific results?

No. Experiences vary, and a practitioner should not promise outcomes or claim to treat a condition.

Will I be touched?

It depends on the method. Ask before the session, and you can say no to touch at any time.

Is it licensed?

Usually not. Ask about the practitioner's training and method, and ask for a client reference.
