The event includes a weekend of learning and self development where participants can expand their knowledge of energy therapies.

Healing Touch is an energy-based therapy, a holistic approach to healing. Healing Touch uses non-invasive touch to clear, energise and balance the human energy system which affects physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

Coordinator Susan Ashton says the conference aims to support good health and facilitate the healing process using a variety of energy based techniques.

"We are so excited to be hosting the National Healing Touch Conference in Port Macquarie," Ms Ashton said.

"A space for providing an invaluable opportunity for peer interaction, learning, sharing and focus on self-care. The team in Port Macquarie has been working for almost a year to bring you the best weekend."

Guests include internationally renowned authors, speakers and intuitive healers; explore new thoughts and ideas for holistic practice from scientists and experienced practitioners; discover new developments for supporting you in your personal growth and development of your healing practice.

Ms Ashton said the conference is for everyone.

"If you are new to Healing Touch, you are invited to connect with like-minded individuals in the holistic business of complementary therapy," she said.

"We will provide you with information about energy medicine; hear from experienced practitioners in the field and get acquainted with the gift of energy work.

"Experienced practitioners will expand their knowledge and experience in the field. Students will have the opportunity to connect with other Healing Touch students and practitioners, adding new tools to their expanding knowledge base.

"Teachers can get in-depth support centred around Healing Touch, new processes and services that can support and appeal to the profession."
