Do I Need to be Certified to be a Crystal Healer?

Do I Need to be Certified to be a Crystal Healer? It's natural to wonder this when you're getting started with your stones; the answer might surprise you!

The answer is, no. I don't think that you need to be certified to learn crystal healing. In fact, your own journey learning about crystals is more than valid. It's so empowering, right? If you're like me when I first started working with stones, this practice may just be all about your own personal growth and spiritual work, which is amazing. For a long time, I had no plans to do this work professionally. So if your crystal self-study is something that enriches your life and brings you joy, then it can absolutely be a rewarding path to take.

I encourage you to get out there and learn all you can from reading books, blog posts or articles online. Also, watching YouTube videos, and first and foremost, hands-on experiential practice with your crystals. So if you're wondering "Do I need to be certified to be a crystal healer," you most certainly don't, and self-teaching is a perfectly reasonable pathway to enhancing your knowledge. However, I will say from my own personal experience, when I was working with my crystals by myself, I ran into a lot of hurdles and obstacles that sort of set me back on my path.

I found a lot of conflicting information. I didn't have many people to turn to and ask questions and get support about things that I was experiencing when I was first working with my crystals. It was a huge hurdle for me. A big obstacle and I couldn't figure it out on my own.

If you have reached a point in your independent studies where you're craving:

* Clarity to help you make sense of all the conflicting crystal information out there

* Course structure to grow your knowledge & skillset in a more strategic way

Community & mentors to consult about the things you're experiencing with your stones

Then you may be ready to take the next step in pursuing crystal healing certification, not even necessarily for the certificate itself, although we'll get to that later, but just for your own personal fulfillment! 

Having ongoing support from someone with years of experience can make all the difference, so you don't have to do it alone.

With the millions of crystal resources out there, combined with the complex nature of certain mineral topics, clarity is probably the hardest thing to achieve in your self-studies. To help you feel truly confident, big topics must be tackled one step at a time. There's something about my way of teaching I am really good at, and one of my gifts is taking complex subjects and breaking them down so that they're really easy to understand. I hear this from my students all the time, and it's something that I feel so passionate about.

I have the ability to share all these ideas that I've learned in over 20 years of learning about crystals and I want to be able to share all of that knowledge with you in a structured way that makes sense.

There's many pieces of the puzzle that you can miss or overlook or you aren...
