How to become an alternative healer

How does one become an alternative health practitioner? A friend is interested in pursuing alternative energy-based healing, and needs guidance on issues like:

figuring out how to evaluate what modalities, e.g., polarity versus or in addition to reiki, etc., make sense to pursue;

what certifications or training credentials will be most advantageous to building a career;

ideas about pursuing a more traditional approach, eg., MSW, as a way to offer services that can be covered by insurance;

any specific training programs that are particularly excellent;

any recommended web resources for gaining knowledge of the field.

Thanks for your ideas!

Deodorant rocks. What are they? What goes into them? Where do they come from? What's the history? Can they be made at home? Safety warnings or tips on use? Where should they be purchased from?
