Try checking out the Small Business Association in your area. Also the Chamber of Commerce. Ask about woman owned businesses services.Since you are below poverty level this may be helpful, and your family status also.
You may want to emphasize the emotional benefits, and relief from symptoms. Unless you are a therapist, you can’t call yourself one. Also saying that you heal, or are a healer can be problematic in official circles. I haven’t heard of grants but loans may be possible.
Since you’ve just finished your certification, getting practice sessions in is key. If you can get a testimonial for each successful session, this is worth it’s weight in gold.
Many new practitioners start out from their home or going to client’s homes. If there is a space that you can rent out per session, this is also quiet helpful. Motels and Air BandBs can also work well. It’s a good time to start putting out some inexpensive advertising and making connections to get a feel of how to reach your local and online client bases.
Wishing you much success!
