One doesn't just declare oneself an Energy Healer. 

It's a practice that is learned over time, and mastered over many lifetimes.

Energy Skills Schools

Reiki Energy was first introduced in 1994 and my electrical energy field became charged and open immediately.  Ever blow out 4 light bulbs in one day?  This told me there was much to learn about htese new feelings and touch and it was to be learned at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.  This was THE place for more education of how the Human Energy Field functions.  Brennan offered a scientific approach to the design of the chakra system, psycology of the energy body and physical skills to discern types of energy fields and grids.  This understanding revealed a complete picture of the human being as physical(electrical), emotional, intellectual and spiritual.  Realizing this new information made all things possible, and it could be applied to animals, and the earth alike.  Since graduating form the Brennan four year intensive training program in 2000, I have continued to successfully grow my healing practice.
