You've had some great answers so there's not a lot I can add but here's a cut-and-paste from an answer I gave earlier this week. I hope it helps:
Your absoute first step should be to contact the Department of Health in your state to see exactly what you can and can't do. In some states, you may only be able to work as a consultant; in others, you may have more freedom.
Then, decide on a focus for your practice and work toward becoming an expert in the field.
Once you have your mind pointed in a specific direction, you can focus on actually opening a practice. I wish you the best of luck with it.

First shop your competition. IS there a real NEED or WANT for that type of nitch market in your area. HERE in Miami yes, back home in small town NC NO....
Research is key to anything. Also crunch the numbers, i have had my own little fitness company and found that it is much easier to simply be mobile and service people in their own homes than to maintain a place of bus.
GOOD LUCK and DONT GIVE UP

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse, I live in the Uk.
In order to practice any form of alternative therapy you must have qualifications like diplomas or certificates in whatever you want to practice in, Once you qualify you must have insurance to cover any form of malpractice or accidents whilst on your premises.
Why don't you consult the BSY group for further information, they are on line under BSY.com There are plenty of these schools around look under Alternative Medicine or Homeopathy

It depends on WHAT you will be 'practicing'...some require extensive education and certifications. Others still require some level of training, but no licenses or certifications. A few require no education. Find something that interests you, then find out what it will take to acheive your goals...legally and ethically.

That information is on my site. Look at the business and the
results of the products.

The first step is to become a quack.
