My intro

[Guest guest]

Hi Angelina,

 

Welcome to Chinese Traditional Medicine. (And welcome to the other new members as

well.)

 

You didn't mention in your intro if you already have some background

in TCM. If not, the earliest posts in the message area are designed

to walk those new to TCM through the basics.

 

Feel free to ask quesitons and post on your favorite TCM topics.

Hi Caroline & everyone,

 

My name is Toni. I saw your post on Body_Work about this list and thought I'd

see about this list, since I work with energy. I am a reiki master (I don't

really like that term, " master " ... I think it is a bit pretentious, especially

pertaining to me!) and have been attuned since 2000. I have taken several years

to learn more and just use the energy for myself, my family, friends and the

occasional client. I have offered professional treatments here and there over

the years, but now I am getting serious about offering my services to the

public.

 

I am interested in how best to start my practice (on a shoestring!) and attract

clients. I am also a trained doula, childbirth educator and student of

midwifery. My passion for childbirth is leading me to want to specialize in

reiki during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I have already sent introductory

letters out to the homebirth midwives in my area, and so far one has called to

talk to me about it.

 

In my personal life, I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 23

years and we have 8 children... ranging in age from 1 to 17. My husband has had

more than his share of health issues stemming from a congenital heart defect

that was corrected in 2005. I recently attuned him to reiki I, as he was finally

ready for it. My oldest daughter has been attuned to reiki I for a few years.

She is very sensitive to energy, and has a wonderful touch that she comes by

naturally. I did a lot of self-treatments during my last pregnancy, and I feel

the reiki helped me greatly.

 

I am happy to learn all I can on this list... especially about how to make this

into a business that can help support my family. Thank you!

Toni
