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.

The world is full of narcissists who think they can read a single book and call themselves an expert. As these methods become more acceptable as treatment within the medical community, they seek to rid themselves of such charlatans. Becoming an expert in a healing art requires learning, experience, and wisdom.

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.

Shopping around and requesting references is one way that a patient can protect themselves. If a practitioner is unwilling to provide references, or simply does not have the background and experience to do so, patients are encouraged to find a better option. A practitioner with a solid background and good reputation is out there for one willing to take the time to find them.
