What are the key principles and steps to practice energy healing with integrity? How can you offer your healing gifts in a way that is both ethical and aligns with your values?
MEET Midge Murphy
As an energy healing practitioner and the first attorney to receive a Ph.D. in energy medicine, Midge Murphy has a deep understanding of both the law and alternative healing arts. Her unique perspective sent her on a quest for knowledge that ultimately led her to create a guide for her fellow professionals. However, she also realized that the knowledge in the book was only the first step. The second step is for practitioners to take the exam based on the book and earn a Certificate of Completion in ethics, legal issues, and risk management strategies for practitioners of energy healing methods. By earning this certificate, practitioners receive a professional credential that demonstrates that they have an understanding of and competency in ethics and legal issues in the practice of energy healing methods. Having a Certificate of Completion not only raises the standards of the industry but also provides an extra layer of protection for practitioners because of the legal vulnerabilities that are inherent in offering energy healing services to the public. It also offers clients assurances of the level of professionalism and ethical standards of the practitioner. It becomes a means to ensure the trust that attracts more clients. Midge also has an affiliate program for energy healing training organizations. It offers a revenue opportunity for organizations that incorporate her book and exam as part of the required ethics/legal training for its students and practitioners.
