About Katie Huff Oberlin

I believe that profound transformation is possible, both individually and globally, when we address the root cause of our illnesses and imbalances and take action energetically and holistically. Like the ripple in a pond, when we heal ourselves, our energy sends a vibration and frequency that heals others and helps to heal the world.

Mission

My goal is to show you ways to tap into your own innate ability to achieve homeostasis. I use Healing Touch and Shamanic Healing to provide a bridge between conventional and complementary care, helping clients reach their physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual goals.

I enjoy inspiring others to realize their full potential. My work as a Healing Touch Program instructor and mentor has provided a wonderful opportunity for me to share my knowledge and expertise, guiding clients and students through hands-on workshops and retreats, enabling them to practice healing methods to help themselves and others.
