How a Reiki Appointment Got Me Approved for Functional Medicine Training
In this brief, conversational anecdote, Christopher Ellis explains how he secured his wife's consent to enroll in an expensive, year‑long functional medicine program. He first presented the financial commitment to his wife, who initially refused, citing affordability concerns. To celebrate their wedding anniversary, Christopher took his wife to a Reiki session—a practice he had never tried—where she also received a massage. After the session, the Reiki practitioner told his wife that Christopher’s upcoming endeavor would be life‑changing and that she should say yes. Influenced by this suggestion, his wife approved the course. The story is recounted with a light, humorous tone, highlighting the unexpected role of an alternative‑healing experience in a personal financial decision.
