200-Hour Heartworks Approach™ Program - Certificate Curriculum

This program provides practical and grounded training in energy healing. Sensitivity to feeling subtle energies is developed as students explore the various layers of the human energy field, chakras, meridians, and unique energy patterns presented by various individuals.

In addition to the techniques, students are taught to explore their inner worlds in order to develop the ability to approach energy healing with a compassionate and understanding heart. We develop the ability to stay present with physical, emotional, and energetic sensations and to recognize and contemplate various mental states we encounter.
