Touching Essence™ is a multi-sensory, multicultural, Neo-shamanic healing art practice that combines the sense of touch,
​smell, sound and energetic vision. 

​Developed over the last 30 years at Esalen and in Bali, Touching Essence engages both giver and receiver to deepen awareness and presence. Inspired and informed by Ellen’s practice and teaching of Esalen® Massage & Bodywork, Touching Essence uses visualization and affirmation in support of desired outcomes.

The philosophy of Touching Essence is combined with an exploration of the energetic centers of the chakras (wheels of energy).  These highly charged centers act as a conduit through which body, mind, and spirit interact as one holistic system.  Imbalances in the chakras correlate with physical tension and discomfort.  The intention of this course is to weave together a variety of techniques in order to address holding patterns in the body that result from these imbalances.

The focus is to access these powerful energy centers through a combination of touch, scent, and sound. Working with sound/vibrations, essential oils, and massage techniques; we will impact both subtle and deep layers of the body helping the individual to achieve a sense of integrated well-being.


​This program is perfect for :

• Those who wish to pursue a path of growth and change and obtain a professional title.
• Those who intend to work in private practice or in public and private structures, regulated by the Law No. 4/2013.
• Operators in holistic techniques not registered in professional category registers pursuant to Law No. 4/2013.
• Professionals Carers and Healing Arts Practitioners who want to broaden their skills and scope

Our Goals :

• Conduct an individual treatment session with integrated holistic Touching Essence techniques.

• Listen deeply to the person and choose methods and techniques for psycho-physical treatment.
• Integrated communications - relational knowledge and skills with holistic and bio-natural methods.
