Touching Essence is a multi-sensory, multicultural, Neo-shamanic approach to healing through touch. Touching Essence combines the physical with the metaphysical, engaging the energies of chakras, meridians and the cosmos. We engage the five physical senses, the three subtle senses of imagination, intuition and inspiration, specifically chosen essential oils, sound, song and mantra creation. Each session is individually crafted in support of highest good and desired outcomes of the client.

Developed over the last 30 years at Esalen Institute, California, Centro d’Ompio, Italy and Bali, Indonesia, Touching Essence is inspired and nurtured by Ellen’s plant medicine work, sound healing, and breathwork practices and teachings, by Elena's (founder of Tactus), art of touch and energetic work, and by Daniela’s study and practice Esalen Massage and of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Daniela, Elena and Ellen have a combined total of 75 hears of study, practice and teaching Esalen®Massage & Bodywork, along with various healing, somatic and expressive arts practices.
Touching Essence uses the Indian Map of 8 Chakras, the Chinese map of 12 meridians, along with specific essential oils, vocal and sound healing, visualization and affirmation in support of desired outcomes. These act as conductors through which the body, mind, emotions and energy interact as an integrated system. Any imbalance at the level of the chakras and meridians is closely correlated with tensions and disharmonies on the physical level.
The focus of the work is to access these powerful energy centers through a combination of the five physical senses and the three subtle senses. We teach students how to direct breath and sound to release holding patterns throughout the physical and metaphysical bodies.
The intention of this course, is global fusion of highly effective approaches and protocols that address patterns of holding in the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies.
