Why Patients Should Seek Healers With A Portland Reiki Master Certification

By Beverly C. Ralph


The West Coast is known for the community of Japanese Americans, and these second generation immigrants often have training in various homeopathic practices. These can include energy healing, acupuncture, and herbal apothecaries. However, with the popularity of alternative healthcare methods, now one can find a healer with a Portland Reiki master certification.

By being certified, this tells potential clients that the practitioner has been educated properly in the healing arts. It is important in any healthcare environment that the experts be subject to the approval of others in their field. A certificate allows potential clients to verify the background and reputation of a practitioner.

All too often, individuals step into homeopathic practices after reading only one book, and with no real-world experience at all. With the popularity of various homeopathic treatments, the door can be opened for those who prey on a community. Rather than seeking to help and heal others, these charlatans seek only money, or worse.

For those who have read a book and wish to pursue the art more thoroughly, online courses are available. By learning how to align the energy centers of the body for themselves, they may be able to offer help to those they know who are in need of healing. Not all illnesses are of the body, and energy alignment can do a great deal for the basic well being of an individual.

If a patient comes across an individual claiming to be a healer, but this person does them some sort of harm, it hurts the practice as a whole. It is imperative that these individuals be reported. Malpractice can occur in any medical specialty, and there are systems in place to help protect the public from one who may be seeking to do harm rather than heal.

A good percentage of the clients in these clinics are individuals facing life-threatening illness. An unlicensed practitioner with no certification can do catastrophic harm to the basic mental and emotional well being of a patient who is HIV positive or facing chemotherapy. Patients are encouraged to check the background of any clinic or practitioner they seek to employ.

References are an excellent means to ensure that the provider is credible, certified, and experienced. Any clinic or individual practice should have a reference list at the ready, or even posted somewhere in the office. If there are no references available, patients are encouraged to move on and find a more credible or better established provider.
