Can be heavy reading for a reluctant healer. Very easy to follow book- but ultimately this role is a life choice, that is not easy to navigate. Elliot provides information about tools of his craft, a list that is by no means complete. His personal recounts help the reader (healer) understand and feel less alone. I would love to meet the man in person, because I feel the role of healer is less of a book learned study and more of a student/mentor study. Thank you for this jumping point and a guide.

Excellent read - reading it for a second time. Humble and compassionate. David is a wonderful teacher and hearing his personal experiences and techniques has been so helpful for my own growth through healing and gaining confidence as a healer. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed Mr Elliot's pragmatic & humble approach. He does not ever tell anyone there is "only way" & " I know the way " but simply explains the methods & process by which he obtains his methods that work for him. I think most will enjoy the book & I recommend it for anyone delving into acknowledging the healer.

It had some useful information, but I'm not big into oils and all the other tools.

Sorry, Mr. Elliott. I hope many people may find your book to be helpful. Please don't take it personally that I didn't.
