  HTPA is excited to bring you a new episode in our Expand Your Network – Exploring Self-Care Modalities series!

  This presentation features Elizabeth Combs, Healing Touch Certified Practitioner and Instructor and longtime student of herbal medicine, who introduces us to Plant Medicine and Herbalism—the use of plants and their many gifts to support health, well-being, and our connection with the natural world.

  Elizabeth has been studying herbal medicine since 2012 and shares how herbalism can complement Healing Touch while empowering us to become more active participants in our own self-care. From herbs already found in our kitchens to working with a trained herbalist, she offers an accessible introduction to the many ways plants can become part of our wellness journey.

  In this episode, you’ll learn:

  What Plant Medicine and Herbalism are
  Explore the long history of using plants for health and healing and discover how herbal medicine continues to be practiced today.

  When you might consider working with an herbalist
  Learn what an herbalist does, what you can expect during a consultation, and how herbalism can complement conventional healthcare and other healing modalities.

  How to begin incorporating herbs into everyday self-care
  Discover familiar plants and herbs—including ginger, garlic, peppermint, turmeric, elderberry, and more—that may already be part of your home and daily routines.

  How herbalism can deepen your relationship with nature
  Explore the idea of plants as allies and how slowing down, becoming more aware of the natural world, and developing relationships with the plants around us can become part of the healing journey.

  The physical, emotional, and spiritual gifts of Hawthorn
  Take a deeper look at one of Elizabeth's favorite plant allies and learn about its traditional uses, history, folklore, and connection with the heart on multiple levels.

  How to make your own Hawthorn Heart Elixir
  Follow along as Elizabeth takes us into her kitchen for a hands-on demonstration of how she makes a beautiful Hawthorn elixir at home.

  Throughout the presentation, Elizabeth reminds us that plant medicine doesn't have to feel complicated or out of reach. We can begin right where we are—making a cup of tea, noticing the plants growing around us, and becoming more intentional about our relationship with the natural world.

  Whether you're interested in exploring herbalism for your own self-care or learning more about when an herbalist might be a helpful resource for your clients, this presentation offers an inspiring introduction to the healing world of plants.

  I’m honored to share our latest Member Spotlight interview with Stefanie Pinela, HTCP—a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner and founder of Alma Luna Alchemy, whose journey from corporate burnout to personal healing has inspired her to help others reconnect with themselves and rediscover their inner light.

  With more than two decades of experience in the corporate world, Stefanie discovered Healing Touch in 2017 during a challenging period of stress, anxiety, and burnout. What began as a search for greater balance and well-being became a transformative journey of self-discovery, self-care, and personal growth. After becoming certified in 2025, Stefanie continued to integrate the principles of Healing Touch into both her professional life and her healing practice, finding meaningful ways to support others while honoring her own well-being.

  Stefanie's perspective is a beautiful reminder that healing begins with ourselves and that learning to honor our needs, establish healthy boundaries, and embrace our authentic selves allows us to bring greater compassion and presence into our lives and the lives of others.

  In this interview, you'll learn:

  • What led Stefanie to discover Healing Touch during a time of burnout and begin her Healing Touch journey

  • How Healing Touch transformed her understanding of self-care and helped her establish healthier boundaries and find greater balance in her life

  • How she has incorporated Healing Touch principles into the corporate world through workplace wellness initiatives, employee programs, and opportunities for connection

  • The meaning behind her mission to help others "Discover Their Inner Gold" and how reconnecting with our authentic selves supports personal growth and healing

  • What inspired Stefanie to share Healing Touch with a wider audience and how she's using social media and HTPA's Shine on Social program to help raise awareness

  • The personal challenges she's faced and overcome, including finding her voice, stepping outside her comfort zone, and embracing new opportunities for growth

  • How Healing Touch has changed her personally and continues to influence the way she approaches her life, career, and relationships

  • A guided "Spark Your Inner Gold" meditation that uses breath, color, and the seven chakras to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, authentic light, and sense of wholeness

  This conversation offers heartfelt inspiration, practical insights into self-care and personal growth, and encouragement for practitioners seeking to bring the principles of Healing Touch into all aspects of their lives while rediscovering the unique light within themselves.

  This interview can be found on the Member Spotlight page of the member site and is available to HTPA Community and Professional Members.

  This series highlights the diverse ways in which our HTPA Members are bringing Healing Touch into their profession, lives, and communities. The views and opinions expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Healing Touch Program, Healing Touch Professional Association Healing Touch or the community. Healing Touch Program and Healing Touch Professional Association offer this as a platform for discussion and awareness, and recognizes and respects that each individual has their own viewpoint and beliefs.

  The Heart Speaks

  By Mimi Guarneri

  HT Reading Category: Energy Medicine/Holistic Health

  
  

  About the Book:

  Every day, 2,600 Americans die of cardiovascular disease—and despite remarkable interventional and surgical procedures, over 650,000 new heart attacks occur annually.
  
  In The Heart Speaks, Dr. Mimi Guarneri reveals groundbreaking new research that the heart is a multilayered, complex organ, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities independent from the mind—and that healing the heart can have more to do with healing the mind and soul than we ever knew.
  
  From childhood in a family riddled with heart disease to a medical career facing the pounding heartbeats of cardiac emergencies, Dr. Guarneri draws us into the intimate moments of life and death, and leads us on a riveting exploration of the heart's many mysteries. Through her compelling memoir we see that it is only by knowing the whole heart—its mental, emotional, spiritual, and universal aspects—that we can truly heal.

  
  

  About the Author:

  Dr. Mimi Guarneri is founder and medical director of Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine and has been an attending physician in cardiovascular disease at Scripps Clinic since 1995. Dr. Guarneri is the author of numerous articles that have appeared in such journals as the Annals of Internal Medicine and the Journal of Echocardiology. She has been nominated for the Bravewell Award in IM Leadership and honored by the American Heart Association. She is board certified in cardiology and internal medicine. She lives in La Jolla, California.

  Facilitated by Gaby Schlumpberger and Sarah Sherbenou

  Many Healing Touch practitioners want to help everyone, yet trying to reach everyone can make it harder for the people who need us most to find us. Identifying your ideal client isn't about excluding others, it's about communicating clearly with those who are most likely to benefit from your unique experience, passion, and strengths.

  Kitchen Table Wisdom
  

  By Rachel Naomi Remen

  HT Reading Category: Spiritual Development

  
  

  About the Book:

  This special updated version of the New York Times-bestseller, Kitchen Table Wisdom, addresses the same spiritual issues that made the original a bestseller: suffering, meaning, love, faith, and miracles.
  
  "Despite the awesome powers of technology, many of us still do not live very well," says Dr. Rachel Remen. "We may need to listen to one another's stories again." Dr. Remen, whose unique perspective on healing comes from her background as a physician, a professor of medicine, a therapist, and a long-term survivor of chronic illness, invites us to listen from the soul.
  
  This remarkable collection of true stories draws on the concept of "kitchen table wisdom"—the human tradition of shared experience that shows us life in all its power and mystery and reminds us that the things we cannot measure may be the things that ultimately sustain and enrich our lives.

  
  

  About the Author:

  Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. has been counseling those with chronic and terminal illness for more than twenty years. She is cofounder and medical director of the Commonweal Cancer Help Program in Bolinas, California, and is currently clinical professor of family and community medicine at the University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine.
