Professional Natural Therapists

This community is for professional (or students or teachers of) natural therapists to meet and discuss aspects of their work together. As therapists of different sorts, many of us work alone and this can be quite isolating. I would love to talk to other therapists about all sorts of aspects of our work - problems, funny things, qualifications, good and bad colleges and professional bodies, marketing and everything that comes with doing this sort of thing.

I want this community to be open to therapists of all persuasions - from osteopathy to reflexology, from crystal healers to sports therapists. I've written a list of interests, but please feel free to suggest additions to be as incusive as possible. Initially membership will be open, but later it will be moderated to keep the members relavant to the community.

I'm sure this doesn't need to be said, but please, no identifying information about clients, and anything sensitive, please place in a locked entry.

Please note: this is not a community for non-professionals to talk about therapies - this is not because i want to discriminate against such people - but there are already communities for those with a general interest.
This is for: students, those interested in studying, qualified therapists, lapsed therapists, practicing therapists teachers of therapies.
