i think it is of extreme import

how one finds the thread to communicate with each patient in a manner and a

level that they can both hear and digest is the key to healing.

 

it is the ability to listen and reflect back to the patient that which the

patient asks for.

 

a safe and energetically welcoming enviornment helps.

 

As far as marketing: i have never advertised and my phone is unlisted. My

business is totally word of mouth* and i have seen 50 patients a week for longer

than i care to count!

Hi Robbee!

 

You enjoyed an advantage by being illegal, the lure of the forbidden and

all that. When the veil lifted you were already established.
