I have never been trained in Raindrop therapy, but have received training through Stone Medicine in Rain Bath therapy, a Native American style of applying essential oils and stones to the body (very similar to Raindrop therapy, though I think Gary Young took learned some of what he turned into Raindrop therapy from a Native American system of healing).

I know there are "rain drop" treatments. been a long time since I recieved one, not sure if that is worth a price increase if you go that route. Besides being a write off for supplies, you could consider an aromatherapy add option, for a few bucks (the cost of the jar) that they take home and use a few other scents as well for their treatment? or like you said, simply include it as an option in your hourly fee.

I don't think I would charge any more for using the oils, but I have been considering raising my prices soon anyways, so maybe this would be a nice addon for getting clients to pay the higher rates I am considering.

Quality verses the price is often an issue but in my opinion what really counts is if you like it and are getting the results you and your clients desire. Would you charge more or just incorporate the essences into your current massages?

I do use some oils in my practice, but would like to use more and become more involved in it. I really like the quality of the YL oils...I having been having my doubts, though, about whether higher quality is worth the considerably higher price...

No, I don't think at this time I am interested in selling nutritional products, but I will fiel it in the back of my mind for the future...

the oils are good. I've used them before, but also like some other brands better like Wynnham. Do you currently use essential oils in your practice? I don't know much about the payouts, I did get to buy at wholesale which I know was a savings there!
I have some homeopathic gels and creams that are really great for instant remedies that my clients love, however I find the nutritionals are the big sellers since the results are so noticable! Would you like to know more?

I find what you are saying about selling health products interesting...a friend of mine if a Young LIving distributor and I was considering becoming one myself...

I agree funds for continuing education classes can be an issue sometimes and then there is challenge of the right time and the right place. Another therapist suggested I try a little health and wellness direct sales for some play money for things like family vacations and additional classes and it's been incredibly profitable and beneficial for both me and my clients. The beauty of our business is that there are so many opportunities to learn and enless possibilities for healing!
