Management Committee

Lesleys Bio Photo.jpg
Lesley Pointon - President

I have completed Level 4 in Healing Touch and regularly assist as a Helper in Level 1, 2 and 3  workshops.  I live in Brisbane and am passionate about treating my family and friends and seeing improvements in their well-being.  I have been associated with Healing Touch since 2014 and am currently serving as the President of the Australian Healing Touch Program Association Inc of which I am a Charter Member. I also assist at promotional events throughout the year and particularly enjoy assisting the other members of our Chapter at the ‘Homeless Connect’ days where we offer Healing Touch treatments to many less fortunate people within our Brisbane community.  I love the beauty within Energy Healing and the joy and bliss I feel with each practice.

My vision as the President of the Association is to build Healing Touch awareness in our communities by -

  • encouraging others to enjoy a Healing Touch treatment and find out for themselves the benefits of this modality;

  • growing the number of students participating in our courses so that more people can enjoy the benefits of Healing Touch within their families and communities, and

  • growing our Association of energy healers to create a vibrant, cohesive, joyful community.

Dr Monica Nebauer - Vice President

I am Dr Monica Nebauer, RN (ret), PhD, Certified Healing Touch Practitioner and Instructor and Qualified Mentor with Healing Touch Program in the USA.  Following seven years as the inaugural President of the Australian Healing Touch Program Association, I am currently enjoying my new role of Vice-President of our national Association.  I have extensive experience in teaching health professionals in health care settings and Universities in Australia.  However, the most important part of my life is practising and teaching Healing Touch (energy healing) to people who want to learn ways of staying healthy that are complementary to the biomedical model of health care. My life purpose and dream is to practice and teach Healing Touch to as many people as possible, whether they are health professionals or lay people, so that eventually, Healing Touch will be known about and practised in every home, residential care facility and hospital in Australia.

 Aileen Conradi - Hon. Secretary

I am a Healing Touch Practitioner.  I have been involved with Healing Touch since 2013 and more recently have been the Secretary of the Australian Healing Touch Professional Association Incorporated for the past two years. Although my working life has always been in administrative roles, I have always had an interest in alternative medicine and the healing arts. I have studied Massage, Touch for Health and completed short courses in Homeopathy and Aromatherapy.

I love the simplicity of Healing Touch, practicing a Hara Alignment Meditation daily is just one of the wonderful techniques we can use to stay in a state of heart centeredness.   

I look forward to seeing the Healing Touch Program grow in Australia and being able to spend more time practicing this modality of healing.
