When Healing Found Me β€” How an Unexpected Spiritual Experience Led Me to Healing with Therese Anderson

Season #1

What if the path to becoming a healer began long before you knew it?

In this episode of The Energy Healing Podcast, host Leila Briggs speaks with Therese Anderson, a Healing Touch practitioner and instructor whose journey into energy healing began through powerful spiritual experiences connected to both prayer and Indigenous healing traditions.

Therese shares the profound moments that shaped her path β€” from witnessing spiritual healing in church prayer circles to experiencing energetic transformation during a cultural retreat led by an Elder.

Through these experiences, she began to recognize the presence of universal healing energy and eventually discovered Healing Touch, a modality that helped her understand and channel this energy with intention and integrity.
