Things Every Practitioner Should Know!

This book is probably one of the most important books any practitioner should own. Complementary or otherwise, the information in this book is something you will always refer back to. Not only good for beginning practitioners but gives a much to the seasoned professionals as well. Keeps to the facts and simple basic truths that we often forget about when we are caught up in the clinical setting. I recommend anyone who is remotely interested in healing, themselves or others, should get this book.
