Please copy and distribute this note to others if you wish.

Last year, many of you participated in the Distance Goddess Healing  project. For those of you who did not hear about it, a group of about 4000  healers, world wide, "sent in" 15 minutes of healing, in whatever form they  wished, at whatever time they wished, into a "template of healing". Then, everyone received a healing at the same time by tuning into the template. The template is still there, it's outside of time and space, so if you want to try it, please do. I use it frequently and can attest that it an incredible resource of healing knowledge. A special flower essence was created by Green Hope Farms for this project to support healers, called Hesperides’ Gift. Barbara Brennan did a second healing on the group during the school week (Barbara Brennan School of Healing) in April last year during the regularly scheduled event called the Goddess Healing.  

During that healing, I had an incredible download of information. I only told a few people about it, and even those handful of people, didn't hear most of the information because to me, I felt the project was outside of my capabilities to accomplish.

During the Goddess Healing, I was invited to do a project. I said that I didn't think I could, but the voice continued and said, in order to accomplish what was being requested, that I would need to build a website for healers first. Then, everything came as a checklist, the name, the components, the layout, the functions of the site, the time of "birth". Everything, it was as if someone had turned on a faucet and the flow of information just came. It’s really not something that you can ignore when you are in that sort of flow.

During that class week, Peter, a first year student at the time, came up and introduced himself to me and said he wanted to help me build a website. Totally Out of the Blue. I decided to follow the guidance even though thought I was being ridiculous and foolish, many days. I gave up my "attachment" to the outcome and just focused on building the site. If it's meant to be, then it will flourish. The guidance showed me that in three years, there would be a network of over 3000 healers on the site, and that it would be a resource of knowledge in our field. If it doesn't work out that way, so what, at least I learned how to build a website.

So, Peter and I have been working on this site, with his amazing team of programmers and it's taken over a year. Mainly because of the learning curve on MY end, not his.  

Here is the site:

 www.professionalhealers.org

Right now, you can join the site and create a Member Profile, and after that, you can upload articles you've written, case studies, products, events, classes and pictures. We are now in the process of submitting the site to Google this week. All members will be listed individually, so that if someone does a search online for your name, your profile will come up.

Even though this site has been under construction for this whole time, people have found it and I've personally received five clients, all from far flung places, and many more emails asking questions. One of my goals for this site is to build a "Healing Library" so that when you get a new client, you can see what your colleagues have posted on the topic. Visitors to the site will 
also be able to view this area, so if you post an article or paper that you've written, you will probably receive emails from potential clients, or from other healers who may request your supervision on a case.

The goal of this site is to create a forum for Professional Healers to share what we are learning in our daily practices. A secondary goal is to help healers define and refine what it is that they do.

If you really want to build a practice, you need to be able to market yourself, and to communicate what you can and can't do. And "balancing your field" won't cut it for most people. They want to know if you can help them with their back pain, work with their ear infection, depression or cancer; help their child who can't read; or their mother who has memory and concentration problems, etc., and they don't really care how it is that you do it. Some do, but most just want help with their problems and are desperate enough, and disillusioned with the treatments they've already tried that they will at least give you a try. If it works, they may turn to you for help in other areas, and refer you to their friends and family, and even then, they don't really care how it is
your doing what you do. At least, this has been my personal experiences lately.

So, during the sign up process, Members are asked to select their areas of specialty. Visitors to the site can use the database to request a referral for a healer who specializes in whatever it is they need help with. The may want some one who is geographically close, but what I am finding is that people who  are in pain and desperate, will contact you no matter where they are located if  they like the way you present yourself and they think there is any possibility  that you may be able to help them.

The site will be a subscription site, so it does cost a nominal fee to join. This fee covers the website development costs, the server costs, the fees to promote and advertise the site. It will be a "sponsored ad by Google" within the next two weeks or so. There are two fees, $99 a year for regular members and $49 for students. It's for all healers so the mixture of professionals will eventually be quite diverse.

So, please have a look at it. Any feedback is welcome.

with love,
