Research how Palmtherapy is used to treat fears and help increase willpower.

Read publications by the founder of Palmtherapy, Moshe Zwang, at the Palmtherapy Web site (see Resources below). This will help you get background information for choosing a practitioner.
3
Choose a practitioner by going to the Palmtherapy Web site (see Resources below). The site frequently updates its worldwide links of therapists who have completed training seminars and have Palmtherapy certification.
4
Evaluate practitioners in relation to what you would like treatment for. Ask questions about where they were schooled and whether they offer the latest techniques and treatment for your needs.
5
Interview prospective practitioners to see how many visits you will need. Although Palmtherapy is usually reasonably priced for single issues, multiple problems can take up to 3 sessions for optimum results.
6
Seek out referrals and opportunities for bonding with like-minded people at holistic schools or groups. Ask family, friends and health care providers if they have had Palmtherapy or know related therapists.
7
View the directories of professional organizations such as the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (see resources below). Here you'll find therapists in your area, up-to-date news and resources.
Tips & Warnings
Ask your primary care physician or other medical provider for a Palmtherapist referral.
Check whether your therapist belongs to the International Palmtherapy Association (IPTA), which issues Palmtherapy certification.
Normally, a Palmtherapy practitioner is already established in some other form of alternative medicine like massage therapy.
If you have severe emotional issues, be sure that the Palmtherapy practitioner will consult with your medical doctor.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
