Title: Looking at the World from a Broader Perspective

Description: We see humans as superior, but we are not!

Presented by: Annis Parker, RN, ADN, DipEd, CHTP, CHTI

About the presenter: Annis grew up in a family with an awareness of the Human Energy Field and various other esoteric matters. Training as a New Zealand Registered Nurse with educational, management and advanced nursing practice qualifications. She has worked in numerous countries of the world, in areas ranging from operating theaters, disaster work both in the field and in the planning phases, to oncology/bone marrow transplant.

Seven years were spent working in various aspects of industry, in cross-cultural environments. Racing motor cars and milking snakes for venom are a couple of past activities. Since 1997 to the present time 2025 her practice includes Healing Touch. This work encompasses the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of all living Beings.

She has been a Healing Touch Practitioner for 26 years and an instructor for 24 years. Her practice is built on a long nursing career in multiple specialities, living, working and studying in eight different countries. This has allowed her to enlarge her knowledge of many cultures, energy concepts, spiritual practices and the natural world in all its forms. This is her passion. She has a people practice, an animal practice, both domestic and zoo animals, as well as sea creatures world-wide. Enhancing peoples’ understanding as well as teaching this work, she hopes will encourage more people to be respectful of the Planet we inhabit.
