The very last moment before death is an intriguing one.

Know Thy Client—Holistic Reiki Treatments versus Symptomatic History
People are so complex and nuanced that to sum them up through a brief consultation, to the point where we can offer effective treatment, is virtually impossible. Thus, as professional holistic therapists we usually resign ourselves to stock questionnaires that define the basics, such as age, gender and medical history. Forever seeking to place our […]

There Once was a Queen…

There Once was a King…
