Healing Touch is a holistic approach to health and wellness that focuses on balancing and optimizing the flow of energy within the body to  facilitate the natural self-healing process.  Energy healing is very effective and widely used in health care, private practices and homes.

In this class you will experience working energetically to support healing in yourself and others.  Anyone can learn to use Healing Touch and there are no prerequisites.

Learn about the human energy system and the framework to use energy healing for physical, mental emotional and spiritual health.  Expert instruction and student exchanges provide knowledge and help you develop skill and confidence.  This highly experiential and interactive live 16-hour class is structured to foster deep personal and professional growth.

In the Level 1 class you will: 

  • Learn 12 energy healing techniques.  Techniques are demonstrated and then exchanged in student pairs so everyone in the class experiences receiving and providing the techniques.
  • ​​Explore the subtle human energy system and practice sensing and assessing it 
  • ​Experience group sharing and discussion to deepen learning and support connection
  • ​Receive 16 ANCC nursing CE hours

Healing Touch is not massage and is administered with the caregiver’s hands gently near, or lightly touching, the body (with the recipient fully clothed (except for shoes) while laying down or sitting up. This healing work can be done in-person or remotely!

Here is what students are saying – 

Level 1 In-person Class Student: The Healing Touch Level 1 class was really educational and taught me a new way to relieve pain in my patients.  Personally, this class is going to be beneficial for me in relieving stress, migraines and helping to relax.  It was helpful to do the different techniques on each other rather than just watching the instructor do it.   -Gurjeet Kaur RN UCSF

Level 1 Virtual Class Student: Great information, which the instructor presented in an easy to understand way and provided excellent resources.  I am not the best online student, but this class was fantastic. I feel like I am a better and more confident healer because I had to utilize distance work. 10/10 I recommend it.  Ritchie McCormick, LMT

It’s amazing that I was in Canada and my partner in San Francisco and I could feel the energy!  Gale Stonehouse  

I thoroughly enjoyed the class; it was managed very well; and I learned a lot. I am excited about continuing the learning and the program.  I think the virtual class format is excellent.  -Julie H.

Testimonial In-person Class:  Before enrolling in Laurie’s level one class, I was dealing with heightened anxiety as well as physical discomforts and near-constant headaches. I knew intrinsically that these ailments must all be related but before Healing Touch I was stuck trying to treat my symptoms one by one. Healing Touch is the ultimate when it comes to self-care. Practicing Healing Touch helps me live at my fullest, most-spirited self. I now have the tools to soothe a troubled mind and bring my mind, body, and spirit to a place of balance. If you enroll in Laurie’s class you’ll benefit from her hands-on, expert instruction, digestible explanations of the technique, and personal stories which make the lessons truly memorable. You’ll be empowered to spread healing to yourself, friends, and family immediately after returning home from her course. Julia Di Simone

Level 1 Virtual Class Student:  I was in search of something online due to my very busy life as mom, wife, business owner, etc. I was enlightened to have others from around the country be a part of it that I normally have not experienced! I am hopeful to continue this route of the online platform with maybe doing one in person class in the future (like at level 4 or 5). – Jennifer, Guidance Counselor & Reiki Master
