Michelle,
Can I float my own program for professional intuitive development here? I JUST launched the website - it's
Soul Realignment:Professional Intuitive Development. Do check it out, get in touch with a few of the practitioners. I have several in Europe - one of my students is actually in Switzerland, and she does express some concerns also about the openness of Swiss society.
The great thing about our modality (Akashic Record Reading and Clearing ... it's all on the website, I'm not going to go on about it endlessly here except to say it ROCKS) is that it is distant work, all done via phone, so you can go globally with your business.
Incidentally - I come from a singing background, too! I have a Masters Degree in Opera Performance. Sometimes how I ended up doing what I do - hee hee.
Anyway, check it out. It's a correspondence course, with personal support, it's great, the practitioners love it, and we now have a whole support system via a practitioner forum and monthly free teleclasses ... do take a look.
