The Way of the Natural Therapist Reviews Below are some of the comments from readers of the The Way of the Natural Therapist book, interviews with the editors and media press releases. Natural Therapy Pages Q & A with the editors "This is a must read for every healing practitioner or anyone interested in the path of the healer. Over 20 natural therapists share their personal stories and beautifully paint a picture of their journey to become a therapist (as well as ways to continue to grow and be of service). A great read that is engaging and inspiring, challenging many age old myths about the healing profession." "As
a new therapist fresh from studies, it was wonderful to read such an
inspiring book. So many stories touched at the soul level, and I can
see this is where the true potential comes from as a natural therapist.
You can sense from the book, the path of a therapist may not be easy at
times, but a path that is forever worthy." "Thank you Leisa and James for such a wonderful book. The passion and dedication these practitioners/authors have in really wanting to help their patients truly shines through. It is apparent that via their own life journeys and the lessons they were each taught, they have developed such incredible knowledge and with that an intense desire to help others. Very moving." "Very inspiring. Has helped me look at my own journey and my intentions for the future."
"The book was wonderful. I read it in 2 days! Could not put it down. Very inspiring!" "I was at a critical stage of making a decision to continue or discontinue practising as a Naturopath when I read 'The Way'. I had only been practising for 8 months and have struggled a good bit over that time. It couldn't have come to me at a better time to help me decide - thank you very much. I found it extremely helpful to read about other practitioners processes around their work and find out what motivated them to keep with it ... I am very grateful that you guys put this book together. I gained a lot." "The
collective professional life journeys in The Way of the Natural
Therapist provides a beautiful expose of the heterogeneous nature of
the field and the pathways to that final destination. The rich
potpourri of experiences illustrate the importance of knowing and
continuing to expand one's sense of self, and of having an intuitive
sense of one's gifts, which can be honed to enhance clinical expertise.
The variation in literary styles from pure narrative to more poetic
accounts, makes for a thoroughly enjoyable read; and the autobiographic
aspect provides the reader with a sense of intimacy. As a medical
student, this book advanced my understanding of natural therapies, and
provided me with a broader perspective of options, which may be used as
alternative or complementary to the pharmaceutical and surgical
interventions characterizing allopathic medicine." "Becoming a natural therapist is a dream for many people, young
& old, but the reality of working in the field is usually different
to how you imagined and disillusionment can arise. Being prepared with
insider info and the right attitude is really helpful. A great book has
just been released sharing the personal and professional ups &
downs of 20 practitioners. Highly recommended reading!" "I
found the book easy to read and a common theme between the therapists.
It was good to hear other people's experience and their intentions." "What
a wonderful book! The Way of the Natural Therapist is a must read for
any aspiring natural therapist such as myself. There is no other book
like it that assists in sharing the experiences of others in following
their own journeys into the natural therapies. The eclectic mix of holistic experiences is truly inspiring! This book has been a motivating element in encouraging my own exploration down a path of natural therapy." "Thank you so much for the opportunity to work on this book. Not only
have I enjoyed the copyediting, but the content was really interesting
and was an excellent read. It has even inspired me to make a few
changes in my life." "I have really enjoyed reading what at first glance, may appear as somewhat diverse stories & paths of the writers.. however they all reinforce the special messages of inspiration, encouragement &
insight - no matter what field of service you're in.. whilst my
vocation is in the finance profession, I have found it particularly
inspiring & encouraging to remember my own journey provides inspiration to others & is part of me being of service to others... a heart-warming read... Thank you Leisa & Ketub for sharing your vision to inspire!" "The common thread of following your instincts and answer your calling came through loud and clear for me, and I intent to do just that. Thank you for a wonderful insight into the possibilities that life holds for us all." "If you are a natural therapist seeking a roadmap to personal and
spiritual fulfillment from your work, it doesn't get any better than
The Way of the Natural Therapist. Read it, internalize it and enjoy the
powerful lessons this book has to offer. It is deeply insightful and
full of wisdom" "This book is a light for all natural
therapists. It was fascinating to read about the inspiration,
opportunities and challenges that forged the path and philosophy of
each of the therapists featured." "I loved your book, as someone who still works corporately half the time it is something I treasure as it gives me solid examples of so many people serving in their truest way. Bless you both for writing it and providing much needed inspiration." Media |
