Hands to Heart

Specialties

Are you suffering from panic or anxiety? Have trouble breathing? Are you taking antidepressants, but still don’t feel quite like yourself?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, Hands to Heart can help. Daphne White combines the energy healing techniques of Healing Touch with the trauma release power of Somatic Experiencing.

Healing Touch helps relax the body and accelerates healing: it’s like acupuncture, but without needles. Somatic Experiencing is a technique that gently releases trauma out of the body in a very gentle yet powerful fashion, without re-​traumatization.

Daphne is the only practitioner in the metropolitan Washington, DC area trained in both of these cutting-​edge modalities. Hands to Heart has been very effective in helping clients cope with issues such as irritable bowel syndrome; back and shoulder pain; chronic pain; infertility; stress-​related illnesses and more.

You can a short YouTube video with client comments on the Hands-​to-​Heart website.
