What is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is based on the principle that all living things have an energy field that can be influenced to promote health and well-being. These practices work with the body's subtle energy systems to restore balance and facilitate natural healing processes.
While energy healing has ancient roots in many cultures, modern research is beginning to understand how these practices affect the body's nervous system, stress response, and overall health. Each modality offers unique approaches to working with energy.
