Healer Finder Checklist

25 criteria across 5 categories. Score any healer, therapist, or practitioner before you commit to working with them.

How to use this: Score your prospective healer on each criterion from 0–4. Answer based on your actual experience of them — from their website, initial consultation, or first session. Skip criteria you don't yet have information for.

2

Ethics & Boundaries

They obtained informed consent before any treatment and explained what they would do

They have clear, written professional boundaries — the relationship is clearly professional, not personal

They do not make promises of guaranteed outcomes or miracle cures

They hold professional indemnity insurance

3

Therapeutic Relationship

They ask questions and show genuine curiosity about your specific situation

You feel safe being honest with them about what is and isn't working

They do not require you to adopt their belief system to receive their help

Their fees are clearly stated with no hidden costs or unexpected charges

Their cancellation and refund policy is fair and clearly communicated

They responded to initial enquiries promptly and professionally

They do not use high-pressure sales tactics or manufactured urgency

Their testimonials and case studies are credible and proportionate (not wild, unverifiable claims)

5

Your Gut Response

You felt a genuine sense of resonance or possibility in their presence or first communication

There were no moments that felt "off" or made you uncomfortable without a good explanation

You could imagine being honest with them about your worst days and most shameful thoughts

They feel like someone who has done their own inner work, not someone playing a role

You feel drawn toward rather than away from the idea of working with this person
