FHT01 - Foundations of Healing Touch Course 1

demo of healing touchHealing Touch benefits for body workers

The  massage therapists that have taken Healing Touch from us, have remarked about how utilizing the tools for clearing and balancing the client's energy enhances the massage. Healing Touch will help you become more aware of the energy field which has a significant influence on what is happening in the mind, body and spirit. You may have felt or sensed that something more was going on than the spasm in the client's back. A possibility is that there is an energetic pain ridge, and this class will teach you the techniques to release this. Clients also benefit from a basic energetic clearing - a simple technique you can use before starting the massage.

Healing Touch will be a great addition to your therapeutic tool belt! Plus, the techniques can also be used for your own self-care!
