Are any of you both Pagan and a holistic therapist?
If so, do you or would you consider advertising yourself as one? If you do, have you lost or gained more business because of this? Do you create offers for the sabbats just as you might a Christmas special or Easter special?
Do you incorporate any of your beliefs/techniques/etc. into your therapies?
Sorry about all the questions. I was intrigued to see how many Pagan therapists there were and then my brain just started coming up with more questions to ask.

Yes

Definitely not, it would narrow prospective clients down way too far. I don't run seasonal offers anyway, in fact I rarely run special offers of any kind, they tend to attract clients who choose you based on price and who will run after the next best offer afterwards.
Do you incorporate any of your beliefs/techniques/etc. into your therapies?
Only when treating Pagans and only with their knowledge.

Yes. And I completely agree with Bannick (once I'm a qualified therapist, that is...).

me too and I also agree with Bannick
I agree, i think it would narrow your customer base down too much, although its a nice idea to do something special for the sabbats, I'm not yet qualified so I haven't yet thought too much about pricing / offers.
Do you incorporate any of your beliefs/techniques/etc. into your therapies?
Depends what you mean... My beliefs are a fundamental part of who I am, so they are intrinsic to my therapeutical approach. For example, when dealing with issues of sexuality I am aware that all of us have grown up under the toxic impact of millennia of monotheistic patriarchy. In one way or another, clients need to understand that in order to understand themselves.
But I do it subtly, and certainly don't start waving an athame around during sessions! I do send out newsletters at the major festivals, because my experience is that most people are in tune with the wheel of the year whether they realise it or not.
