Based on the belief that the body can heal itself, the practitioner consciously directs universal energy through their hands to adjust their client’s energy field, thus helping to mobilize their natural healing abilities to facilitate the healing process.
 
This complementary energy healing modality was developed in the early 1970s by the pioneer Dr. Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, a professor at New York University, and Dora Kunz, a natural healer.
 
After conducting their own research, together Krieger and Kunz standardized the technique that has been defined as a “contemporary interpretation of various ancient laying-on-of-hands healing practices.”[1]
