Discover what the hand reveals.

Over the past 50 years, hand reading has quietly evolved into one of the most insightful tools in the natural health toolkit. No longer just the realm of mystics, the palm is now recognised as a dynamic map of physical, emotional, and energetic health.

This course offers a deep dive into modern palm analysis, showing you how to read the hand as a living blueprint of the body and mind. Whether you're prescribing herbs, practicing bodywork, or guiding emotional healing, the hand can reveal exactly where to focus your care.
