Eve Dalton founded Healing Hands in 2015 after a decade as a masseuse, working in various parlors. Each parlor had a unique foundational design based on the founder's vision. Eve sometimes disagreed with the methods and values she was expected to follow, but she learned something from every experience. One day a missing element fell into place, and she saw the need for the clients to learn self hands-on techniques.

First, she visualized a Body Grid composed of twelve stations marking the movement path from the soles up through the body and out the hands. She explored her left sole, listening for resonating points in her body. Though familiar with the Meridian System, she knew it didn't apply to everyone's body and had come to value her touch over anything else. Her touch filled in details where the movement path was blocked, interrupted, broken, compressed, or constricted. She noted Calf blockage and placed her hands on either side of her lower leg to listen closer, sensing a suppressed pawing action like an impatient horse. She slowly applied fingertip circles from the heel to the hamstring crossover at the back of the knee.

Pairing with Dionne Warwick's, I Know I Will Never Love This Way Again, Eve allowed suppressed memories to move through her, lighting up the long-closed pathways and triggering a grief tsunami. Somewhere along the way, she learned not to paw the ground and to suppress impatience until her calves, the second station of the Movement Pathway, died. However, when she applied Healing Hands, the energetic circuit from the earth's mycelium force to the constellations and back was completed.
