So you think you know the full capabilities of the use of “Hands-on Healing” in your practice?? Think again! The developments expanding the healing potential of hands-on practice could be the key to connection with and restoration of your patients’/clients’ most elusive healing needs. In our detached and virtual world, hands-on healing brings an intentional energy exchange that can’t be duplicated by AI. So many people have received non-therapeutic touch in life, resulting in harm that is hard to identify and harder to heal. But as NDs, “We are the doctors who listen; we are the doctors who touch.” Expand what you thought you knew as the limits of your hands-on modalities. Help your patients/clients restore cellular memory and physical function. Then watch as they become limitless in their potential.
Our Instructors for this Vital Gathering will be covering a broad range of hands-on modalities. Learn about the power of NET and QNRT in the hands of a Vitalist. Discover advances in Craniosacral therapy, and be reintroduced to Bowen therapy and Chapman points. See what is possible in pain relief using battlefield acupuncture, and learn to make your own botanical compresses and poultices. There will also be sessions to renew & expand your knowledge and use of first aid homeopathy. Let’s reinforce the foundations of hands-on modalities, while exploring new options for restoration of health.
