Reiki Attunements in Houma, Louisiana
Houma is the parish seat of Terrebonne Parish in southeastern Louisiana, a bayou city of about 33,000 sitting just 10 feet above sea level amid 2,500 square miles of wetlands.
Named for the Houma people, it is a center of Cajun and Creole culture where French is still spoken and life revolves around seafood, sugarcane, and the offshore oil industry. Cypress-lined bayous, swamp tours, and Mardi Gras give it a distinct identity about an hour southwest of New Orleans. Acadians expelled from Nova Scotia by the British in 1755 (the "Cajuns") settled along the bayous, shaping the region's culture. Terrebonne Parish was established in 1822, its name derived from French for "good earth". A January 24, 1970 gas explosion destroyed parts of downtown, including Latour's Jewelry Store, and killed three people. Southdown Plantation House / Terrebonne Museum, an 1859 Greek Revival home (Victorian second floor added 1893) on the National Register, showcasing sugarcane history and a Mardi Gras collection. Strong live-music tradition; blues musician and wetlands activist Tab Benoit founded the Voice of the Wetlands Festival here in 2005 (held each October). Major employers include Bollinger Shipyards, Edison Chouest Offshore, Danos, Oceaneering International, John Deere, and Terrebonne General (Medical Center). Lessons run at your own speed and are complementary support for steadiness through the week.
Reiki practice is an unregulated complementary field in the US, so requirements vary by state and setting. We recommend checking any local rules that apply to your situation.
