"The Advanced Integrative Energy Healing Certificate program presents an unique approach to healing. The emphasis is on seeking a higher level of self-mastery, spiritual development, and life purpose. Somatic-based dialogue strategies focus on the body, mind, and heart, and are combined with advanced multidimensional healing techniques to enhance health and healing. With over 15 years of educating holistic health practitioners, Langara offers experience and expertise, preparing students to successfully practice this healing modality." Highlights of the program include learning advanced biofield and subtle energy healing practicies and supervised clinics in professional health care settings. (quoted from the Langara catalogue)
