     For Diane Goldner, what began as an investigative magazine story, became a four-year pilgrimage into the thriving yet controversial world of energy healing in America. Her report, How People Heal: Exploring the Scientific Basis of Subtle Energy in Healing, serves as both an introduction to this world, and an engrossing narrative featuring in-depth portraits of healers Barbara Brennan and Rosalyn Bruyere. Goldner spent hours alongside these spiritual and savvy women witnessing their healing work, while casting a critical eye at the business side of their organizations.

     How People Heal also introduces you to physicists mapping the effects of love and desire across time and space, nurses using therapeutic touch on hospital patients, and heart surgeons using energy medicine in the operating room. Most importantly, you’ll meet Jonathan Kramer, Doris Dennard, Marilyn Schneider, and others like them, whose lives and life-threatening illnesses have been transformed by the work of energy healers.

     Diane Goldner lives and works in New York City. Her work as an investigative reporter has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Weekend, and other major national media. She currently is a contributing editor for Body and Soul.
