Holistic Practitioners
Posted in theta healing topics on 10/07/2010 04:47 pm by admin

i am thinking of becoming a holistic health practitioner, or an herbalist.?
i would love to get some feedback from someone who has entered this career. self-employed vs. corporate, how long did it take to start up, etc.?
Hi,
Contrary to the answer above you do need qualifications to practice these. You also need insurance (around £70 a year) that covers you for injury to the client and possible sueing for malpractice.
With a recognised qualification you can either find a centre looking for someone qualified in your area or go self-employed. I chose self-employed simply because I like the freedom and flexibility it gives me and it allows me to cater for clients that work during the week in a way that working from a centre only open during working hours doesn’t. That said I do work from some centres as a self-employed practitioner. I just rent rooms at an hourly rate and call them when I need one to book myself in.
Going self-employed is definitely the harder way to do it but as I said above it has it’s advantages. Whether you go self-employed or corporate you would need to ensure that your qualifications are recognised by a company such as the International College of Holistic Medicine, that way once you’ve qualified you can join as a member and that not only increases your credibility as a practitioner but also they can provide you with extra support and information.
It’s also important to keep continually updating your skills by attending courses, reading up to date information etc even after you’ve received your qualification.
I started my practice a year ago and put every extra minute I had into advertising. I got my first client after about 2 months, I still wouldn’t say I have enough regular clients and word of mouth referrals to make this my full time profession but I’m not far off, so I would say it would take just over a year to go full time self-employed.
I hope this helps
