Hi CcolTonS7
I have my own practice as a Healer.
www.crystalarrays.com
I'm certified as a Crystologist, but Spirit taught me how to heal with straight energy and then later with crystals long before I got certified and I was seeing clients professionally also.
Basically all healing paths lead to the same place one could say, there are some important things to know along the way however and training can be most helpful for this. There are a great many forms and there's plenty in California.
Reiki is a traditional one many start with and you'll get a really good foundation in safe healing practices through it and can branch into other healing modalities as inspired from there.
Currently neither the legal system or science believes in Energy Healing so there's no laws against it and since we are not currently in an Inquisition period the Church won't hunt you down either. It's a great time period to be a Healer!
Look around your town or google in your area, you'll find something - its far more common than you can imagine!
