Amara Karuna has been studying alternative healing since 1978 in many different forms. In 1989 she developed her own approach to peer counseling, called Holistic Peer Counseling, integrating many ideas from Re-evaluation Co-counseling with spiritual meditation practices, psychic healing, breathwork and body centered techniques. She has taught hundreds of people to do peer counseling, and has lead many classes and support groups in Hawaii and the west coast, including groups for sexual healing, parents and leaders. She began studying Tantra and Sacred Spot work, a method of sexual healing, on Maui in 2003, and has since studied six different methods of pelvic bodywork. She has been teaching Sacred Pelvic Healing for men and women, and leading Tantra Pujas since 2007. She developed Heartbeat Nurturing Therapy, a method of healing the inner infant self using cradling, hypnotic induction and suckling to address emotional issues stemming from lack of breast feeding and loving closeness as an infant. She is the author of "Heartbeat Nurturing Therapy- Healing Our Hearts Together", and several other works, as well as several CDs of music. SEE http: //www.karuna-sacredloving.com
