Holistic Health in NY state


Hello All!
I am a travel nurse and currently working in screening and admissions. I have done medical, psychiatry and in my past lives community nursing, pediatrics, some time in Picu and other things.

I am going to be 50 yrs young in august and not that i am old but ya know I am getting a bit tired and would like or should I say LOVE to do something different but and I repeat BUT I do not want to go back to school.
Sorry ... but i just dont.
I LOVE alternative health, acupuncture, aromatherapy, energy healing , nutrition etc.
I am certified in , Lao Ho chi, Reiki 1, auricular acupuncture, taking a nurse esthetician class now and a few other things.
HOWEVER when I return to NY state(down South right now) I am wondering what type of things that I can do that is covered by my R.N. license in NY state.
I tried finding Nurse practice act in NY state. I feel a bit overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
I guess I have a couple of thoughts in my head for an eventual business. Some of it includes fresh smoothies, wheat grass shots and fresh squeezed juices. Also I wanted to include wellness and maybe open a WELLNESS CENTER of sorts but perhaps a bit funkier and more down to earth.
I do not want to be regulated up the ying yang though.
I would have friends coming over to my house and for a no fee service I would set up my massage table, accupuncture their ears, give them an invigorating massage, all the while ZEN type music playing in background with armotherapy utilized and energy healing given.
They would leave semi stoned! hahah
I would LOVE to do this as a business but obviously i am not an accupuncturist nor a licensed massage therapist.
Where do I start and how do I get around all the regulations out there if I am able too?
I believe this volunteer service i provided for people was very theraputic and effective.
I sort of know a little about many things and love doing all of this and would love to be of service and make a living but do not know how and where to begin.
Any advise and do you know New York State guidelines or can you direct me to a site where i can educate myself on this?
Thank you so much!
