If you are a healer then you will need to be skillful in the art of health and healing. Your first patient is yourself therefore you need to start with yourself. 

A common theme with practitioners I have experienced is that they absorb their client’s pain/illness and find it difficult to release it.  Many healer have had to take a break from work themselves due to illness. I can teach them how not to take in pain and illness from clients. The practice is compatible with any healing modalities that are in existence.
