Therapist:
You probably know all the chemical ins and outs of the oils and the physio-anatomy too. You can present a very clinical and professional manner to your clients. You may prefer to work alone rather than in a group practice unless you have set it up yourself and set your own rules. A dedicated campaigner for reform and you are likely to invent your own style of working (don't keep it to yourself). Taking a scientific approach, you are unlikely to burden yourself with your clients problems. You can counsel well without taking any problems home. Consider further studies and research in psychotherapy and homeopathy. You could well invent your own form of therapy.
