Even with today’s techniques for preventing burnout, the average life of a healer’s career is about 3 years. That’s the experience of Domo Geshe Rinpoche of the White Conch Dharma Center in New Mexico.

It’s a statement that caught my attention (having suffered burnout myself on several occasions). But what makes the statement even more important is the rapidly growing demand for energy healers, holistic and complementary healing professionals, and the whole-person care they provide. It’s an industry that’s growing at the rate of 17% a year!

The same is true of many of the new economy enterprises run by artists, designers and entrepreneurs who instill standards of equitability and sustainability as their values.

And yet…I frequently hear people say that you can’t earn a good living in these alternative fields. Well, I’m on a mission to change that perception.

What I have found is that many people in these professions don’t know how to market their products in the new realities of bottom-up marketing. Or how to talk about the real benefits our services provide.

Since my background combines advertising, marketing, and entrepreneurship with holistic healing, I’ve created the Change Bistro solution: Build your practice from your throughline and grow your business from the ground up in a way that nourishes both you and your clients.

Start here with 27 Ways to Prevent Burnout. You’ll get practical tips to use right now, free of charge, and a roadmap for using the many kinds of support Change Bistro offers.

Often conducted by telephone, Resonance Repatterning sessions take 90 minutes and include conversation, kinesiology muscle checking (a form of biofeedback), active modalities and supportive homework assignments. You’ll receive session notes and follow-up actions by email.

The purpose of every session is to shift your resonance with a negative frequency – problem, emotion, belief – into resonance with better choices, beliefs, feelings and attitudes. All shifts are created by the precise and selective use of high-frequency modalities including sound, color and light, movement, breath, energetic contact, geometric constellations and fragrance.
