It's been a minute since the Season Finale of Episode 2: You are Creative with Marissa Schiesser. Welcome back, and thank you for tuning in! 

I like to think of this special edition episode with Karen as a bridge between Season 2 and Season 3 of the Podgecast. 

A little about Energy Healing for Professional Practice: 

If you have taken a weekend Reiki class and have no other experience working with clients, jumping into a professional practice where you are taking on clients and charging money isn’t safe or ethical. It’s not safe for the client and it’s not safe for you. The reason it’s unsafe has nothing to do with esoterism. 

Energy healing, like any other healing modality, requires practice and it requires education and it requires a safe space. A safe space is held by a practitioner who is grounded in their practice and has knowledge and resources to support them.

We LOVE that you want to practice. We LOVE that you want to work with clients. And, we believe that energy healing is serious business and that to be effective, professional practitioners, we need effective, professional training.

We have created an 8-10 month practicum program to support you in this journey. The program will include in-person, supervised practicum work held at Pacifica Treatment Centre and in conjunction with Watari Counselling and Support Services.

The program will cover:

• A variety of energy therapies (qi gong, meridian therapy, chakra therapy, hara healing, polarity balancing)
• Therapeutic Dialogue (taught by a Registered Clinical Counsellor)
• Energetic Anatomy
• Basic Physiology
• Energetic Defense Patterns (based on the work of Wilhelm Reich)
• Some somatic processing work
• Practitioner self-care (shadow work, inner child work and basic energy hygiene practices)
• Setting up a practice

Karen and I hope you enjoyed this episode, and we ask that you share it with anyone in the world of energy healing in Vancouver. If you or anyone you know would like to learn more & receive information or get in touch with Karen and her business and energy-healing partner Fred, here are their details:

As for Season 3 and the Future of the Podgecast: 

Some of you have asked me when the new season will begin. I'm very excited about some upcoming changes, and I'll be announcing these late to mid-October. The long and short of this: the Podgecast WILL continue and it will be evolving. Stay tuned for updates!
