Edan Harari is a pioneer in shifting paradigms around healing and wellness. He is an authority and educator in the world of health and healing. As a therapeutic artist and gifted healing facilitator, his sensitive touch, heightened awareness and intuitive abilities allow him to truly listen to the subtle messages of his clients' bodies.

Edan’s past experiences with debilitating illnesses, diseases and dysfunctions have given him the experience and capacity to work with anyone who suffers from pain. His life and practice completely transformed when he discovered the potent healing wisdom of Ortho-Bionomy and John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR). Edan believes that the more modalities that the healing facilitator is trained in, the more tools he has to choose from during his clients’ sessions.

In his free time, you can catch him dancing both on stages and at events, practicing some form of other movement art (such as the Ido Portal Method), in-line skating, skateboarding and long-boarding, slacklining, biking, snowboarding, surfing, traveling and spending time in nature.

In this conversation, Edan and Freddie discuss the power of physical touch, why Western medicine frequently fails to address the true cause of our pain, the role of language in massage, and much more. Freddie considers Edan one of the top 10 practitioners he’s ever worked with - listen to this podcast to know why!
