How to continue my studies to establish myself in the field of natural cures?

Hi, I am a 22 year old who is pursuing a master’s degree in medical biotechnology after earning a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences. I also attended, for a year, a naturopathy school taking a light smattering from which I was able to deepen independently. I begin to think about my future and I see it in this field, between crystal therapy and acupunctureand a future full training in massage techniques, of which I am partially educated being practically born in a tanning, wellness and slimming center. At this point the question to the experts is: how to continue your studies to establish yourself in this field without legislative problems, and with a good background to start operating safely? Thank you in advance. Regards. Daniele

not all together ehh!

Dear Daniele, the road you intend to take for your future is a beautiful road. Of course, as a professional who works in the sector, (now for some time), mainly as a naturopath, and using other disciplines that complete it, I tell you that the road is not easy. The competition is fierce, given the large number of holistic therapists, not always prepared, which spoil the sector category a bit. To exercise in this area, love for the profession, patience and openness towards one’s neighbor is required. Aware that we are dealing with the delicate balance of a person, in the entirety of him. Do it just for money, even not! It is a job that does not pay immediately, and above all we must try to always be updated and informed. There are many paths to take, it is up to you to decide, based on his affinities and attitudes. Furthermore, having a solid background in the medical, paramedical and biochemical fields is certainly a source of entry, which will greatly facilitate both in terms of knowledge of the subjects, but also in the approach with the customer. Good luck and keep me around! Cinzia iN good luck and let me know.

Thank you Cinzia and thank you Paolo for the advice you give me, however I am already partly aware of how tortuous can be the way that aims to treat a person in a “clean” way and not with the ultimate goal of making money. On the other hand, the problem I ask myself is this: the period we are experiencing is certainly not the rosiest and the nearest future does not seem to show any signs of radical changes, which is why it is appropriate to say that time is “money. “. I say this because I don’t know how long my parents will be able to continue to support me with their studies and now I find myself earning a master’s degree 1000km from home and in a city like Bologna that can “offer” so much competition, especially to those who are entering now or recently in this world like me. The fear that arises now is: sure it’s the best way to invest in MY future considering what I’m at? At the university level, what comes close to integrative medicines and in particular acupuncture seems to be a prerogative only for doctors, veterinarians and dentists, but I am a biologist, at most in 2 years I will be a medical biotechnologist and I will have snatched about 15 thousand euros from mine, but for what?? I admit that the anxiety of not having taken the right path begins to weigh, especially economically, I keep my nerve and continue to study because in any case they are subjects of my interest but I do not know to what extent all this can be useful to me. I hope there is someone who can advise me in the field of courses, schools, masters or whatever “thing” is qualifying and instructive for this purpose.
