I would be a practioner if it weren't so expensive. I would have been a nay-sayer, but a friend gave me a 'treatment' when we were in Cayman and I am a believer! I could literally feel it when she pulled the stress out of me, and I had a very stressful job in Sales and Marketing at the time!

I have been going to a Reiki specialist over 2 years now, and it truly cleared up a lot of issues I had post stroke, through the Reiki therapy it helped with my circulation issues with my left side. The meds I was taking and still taking have a laundry list of side effects and it helps with a lot of the issues I have taking those. I went 2 weeks with no treatment while I was away on a family emergency and I truly noticed the difference in how I felt, and pain was back a lot stronger, but since I'm seeing my specialist again this week I notice improvement.
Being a nurse by background at first I was worried about anything "natural or holistic" but I got converted pretty quickly once I started going to sessions. I guess for anyone thinking about going the one thing I will say is that you should go with an open mind, if you go in thinking it won't work it won't. Part of our cancer therapy treatment here now combines both holistic with medical healing to work together to bring balance back to the body

I have been going to a five-element doctor of oriental medicine for acupuncture for almost three years now. Neither of my feet were working and I had spent three months on a walker and saw six doctors and two therapists and still couldn't walk. Acupuncture sessions has put me back on my feet and I still go once every two or three months for a "tune-up." Hope to never have to live w/o it.
